Section
Mode
Select the mode of playback:
Loop
or
Gate
.
Loop
: The default mode for playback, in this mode the Sample is heard with
the Pattern (as with any regular MIDI event) without the need to trigger it. In
this mode, Playback and Source parameters can be manipulated such as
Tune
,
Pitchbend
,
Tempo
, and
Length
.
Gate
: When Gate mode is selected the Sample is only heard when triggered by
a MIDI note event. The Sample is heard for the duration of the MIDI note
event, and the note can also be used to pitch the Sample for melodic effect.
Fade
(
Gate
mode only)
Set a simple fade-in/fade-out amount to avoid pops or clicks that may occur
when using the
Gate
mode. To increase the fade of Gate mode, turn the
Fade
knob clockwise by clicking and dragging upwards. To decrease the fade, turn
the
Fade
knob counter-clockwise by clicking and dragging downwards. Press
the
SHIFT
while turning the knob to increase or decrease the fade in finer
increments.
Tune
Transpose the tune (range: -36 – +36 semitones) of the Audio Plug-in. You
can use this knob to set the playback pitch of the loop to 'C', and then the
loop's pitch will match the pitch of Notes programmed into the Pattern.
To increase the tuning of the Sample in semitones, turn the
Tune
knob
clockwise by clicking and dragging upwards. To decrease the tuning of the
Sample in semitones, turn the
Tune
knob counter-clockwise by clicking and
dragging downwards. Press the
SHIFT
while turning the knob to increase or
decrease the tuning in cents.
Pitchbend
Set the Pitchbend range (-12 – +12) for the Audio Plug-in which is relative to
the Tune. This parameter controls the effect of the Pitch Wheel/Slider on your
MIDI controller.
To increase the range of the Pitchbend, turn the
Pitchbend
knob clockwise by
clicking and dragging upwards. To decrease the range of the Pitchbend, turn
the
Pitchbend
