Controlling the Behavior of the Sample
Follow the instructions in "Playing Your Patch" on Page 12, and
then press the QUICK EDIT button to display the PARTIAL EDIT
window.
In this window, you set the behavior of the "partial" that plays
the sample.
A partial is a group of up to four samples that are played together by a pad
or by a range of pads.
Sample Volume and Stereo Position Settings
• Level—This parameter sets the volume of the partial that
plays the sample.
You can adjust the overall volume of the patch, too, and that interacts with
this parameter's setting. It's a good idea in a single-sample patch to set
this to 127 (all the way up). If you've got multiple samples in the patch, use
this parameter to set their volumes relative to each other, with the sample
you want to be the loudest set to 127.
• Pan—This sets the stereo location of the partial.
If you're working in a patch that contains a bunch of drum kit sounds, you
can pan their individual partials to sound like a real drum kit.
When you record with a patch, its track has its own Pan setting that shifts
the stereo position of all of the samples in the patch to the left or right.
Cause of Effects
• Output Assign—sets where the sample's sound goes. You
can select:
• Mix—so the sample is sent directly into the main
MV-8000 mix as is.
• Aux1-4—so the sample is sent to the Aux bus feeding
the MFX (for "Multi-Effects") effect processor. This
allows you to add MFX to the sample.
You can also send related samples to the same Aux bus, allowing you to
change all of their volumes at once in the MIXER (AUX/FX/AUDIO PHRASE/
INPUT) window.
If you've installed an optional MP8-OP1 audio expansion board, you can
send the sample to a single output jack (Mlt1-8) or to a stereo pair of
output jacks (M1/2-7/8).
• DlyCho Send—sets the amount of delay or chorus you
want to add.
• Rev Send—sets the amount of reverb you want to add.
Playing Fast and Playing Rolls
• Assign Type—This parameter sets what happens when you
play fast notes or rolls. If you set it to:
• Mult—the sample plays through each time you hit the
pad. This setting produces the most natural sound.
• Sngl—each time you hit the pad, it cuts off the
previous note, creating a more mechanical sound.
