Keymap and Sample Editing
The Keymap Editor
Release Rate
The release rate determines how long the sample will take to decay to zero amplitude when the
note trigger is released. The higher the value, the faster the release rate.This release affects each
sample individually, and is in effect only when the amplitude envelope for the program (the
Mode parameter on the AMPENV page in the Program Editor) is set to Natural. In this case, the
release begins as soon as the note is released. If Mode is User, the settings on the AMPENV page
override the setting for ReleaseRate.
To create an extended sample loop that will play data after the sample's loop on key-up, set the
Alternative Start sample pointer after the sample end pointer, then set a relatively low value for
the release rate.
Loop Switch
This parameter activates or deactivates the looping of the currently selected sample. When set to
On, the sample will loop according to the settings on the TRIM page. When set to Off, the sample
will play through to its End point and stop.
Playback Mode (Playback)
This parameter lets you modify the direction in which the sample is played. Set it to a value of
Reverse if you want the sample to play from its End (E) point to its Start (S) point. Choose a value
of Bidirectional to cause the sample to play from Start to End, then reverse direction and play
again from End to Loop and back, repeating until the note trigger is released (this works only
when the Loop Switch parameter is set to On).
Alternative Sample Sense (AltSense)
This provides a convenient way to activate the alternative start of a sample. When set to Normal,
the alternative start will be used when the Alt Switch control is On (this is set on the KEYMAP
page), or when the control source assigned to it is above its midpoint. When set to Reverse, the
alternative start will be used when the Alt Switch control is Off, or when the control source
assigned to it is below its midpoint.
Ignore Release (IgnRelease)
When set to a value of Off, the sample will release normally when the note trigger is released.
When set to On, the note will not release, even when the note trigger is released. This setting
should be used only with samples that normally decay to silence; nondecaying samples will play
forever at this setting. This parameter is equivalent to the IgnRelease parameter on the LAYER
page, but affects only the currently selected sample.
SampleRate and NumSamples
These parameters cannot be edited, but show the sample's sample rate and the sample's length in
samples. Samples that are longer than 1 million samples are displayed a 1Ms.
The Soft Buttons on the MISC Page
Rename
Call up the page that enables you to change the name of the current sample.
Save
Start the process of saving the current sample.
Delete
Delete the current sample from memory. Factory ROM samples cannot be deleted.
