VariOS Menu Reference
1-3 Trigger mode
Specifies how the sample will be triggered when you press a key.
Available Settings:
The sample will sound only while you con-
tinue holding down the key. In other
words, the sample will begin sounding
GATE:
when a note-on is received, and will stop
sounding when a note-off is received.
Each time you press the key, the sample will
begin sounding or will stop. In other words,
TRIGGER:
the sample will begin sounding when a
note-on is received, and will stop sounding
when the next note-on is received.
When you press the key, the sample will
continue sounding. In other words, the
sample will begin sounding when a note-on
DRUM:
is received. If you use this setting on decay-
type sounds (such as cymbals), you will not
need to continue holding down the key.
* When using the TRIGGER setting, you may forget which keys have been
pressed, so that samples continue sounding. Or, if you are playing the
VariOS from a sequencer, samples may continue sounding even after the
sequencer has stopped. In such cases, play the key that you have assigned
as the Panic Key (p. 121). This will stop all currently sounding notes.
1-4 Loop Switch
Turn this ON if you want a sample to play as a loop. The region
enclosed by the Loop Start and Loop End you specified in V-
Producer's Wave Edit screen (p. 65) will continue playing as a loop.
Available Settings: OFF, ON
* If Trigger = Drum, the Loop setting will be ignored, and loop playback will
not occur.
* If Trigger = Gate, loop playback will continue as long as the note remains
on. If Trigger = Trigger, loop playback will start at the first note-on, and
end at the second note-on.
* If you want to adjust the Loop Start and Loop End locations, refer to p. 65.
1-5 Robot Voice switch
Turn this ON if you want to remove the sense of pitch from the
sample. (The original pitch of the sample will be ignored, allowing
you to play it at the pitches of your keyboard.) If this is used with a
phrase sample, you can use your keyboard to play a completely
different melody than the original phrase, producing a variety of
melodies.
Available Settings: OFF, ON
* This function can be used only for samples whose Encode Type (p. 55) is
SOLO.
* If subtle pitch changes in the original phrase are an important element of
what is to be expressed during performance, the Robot Voice function may
not produce good results. It may also be impossible to obtain good results
if the keys you play are distant from the pitch of the original phrase.
1-6 Wave Gain
Specifies the gain (boost) of the waveform. A 6 dB (decibel) increase
will double the gain.
Available Settings: 0–+18 [dB]
114
1-7 Fade In/Out
Fade-in gradually increases the volume of the sample from the
moment of note-on. Set the time over which the volume will rise from
zero up to the specified volume.
Available Settings: 0.00–2.00 [sec]
Fade-out gradually decreases the volume of the sample from the
moment of note-off. Set the time over which the volume will decrease
from the specified volume down to zero.
Available Settings: 0.00–6.00 [sec]
