The Tuning parameter changes the pitch of the key in semitone and 1/64
semitone intervals.

Coarse:
Use the Coarse field to shift the tuning by semitone intervals. Use the Fine
field to shift tuning by 1/64 semitones (or 1.56 cents) intervals.

Background: Transpose vs. Coarse Tuning

Transpose works by shifting the keyboard assignment of the Instrument (as
if you were sliding the keyboard up and down with the Instrument
remaining in the same position). Coarse Tuning keeps the instrument
placement on the keyboard and actually tunes the samples up using a
digital process called interpolation. Use Course Tuning on drum instru-
ments to change the pitch while keeping sample placement constant.
Coarse Tuning can also be useful to slightly change the timbre of the
instrument.
This parameter sets the initial volume and pan position of the current layer.
These values can be changed using any Real-time Controller set up in the
PatchCords. The value range for the volume is from -96 dB to +10 dB. 0 dB
is the default setting. Routinely turning the volume up to +10 dB is not
recommended because it doesn't allow other modulation sources to
increase the volume further.

Volume: +10dB
This field determines the initial Pan value for the current layer. The value
range for Pan is from 64L to 0 (left) and 0 to 63R (right). Pan adjusts the
volume into the left and right output channels relative to the Pan setting in
the main Preset Select screen (see "Channel Pan" on page 39). So, if you, for
example, set the Pan value in the Preset Select screen to 64L and set this
Pan value to 63R, the actual pan amount would be 0 as these two pan
parameters are relative to each other.
