CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 384
23.6.5 Pan and Volume
Each sample has Volume and Pan controls that adjust amplitude and stereo positioning,
respectively. Both controls can be modulated: Pan by velocity and a random value, and
Volume by velocity only.
23.6.6 Global Controls
The parameters located to the right of the sample slots are global controls that apply to all
samples within Impulse's domain. Volume adjusts the overall level of the instrument, and
Pitch adjusts the transposition of all samples. The Time control governs the time-stretching
and decay of all samples, allowing you to morph between short and stretched drum sounds.
23.6.7 Individual Outputs
When a new instance of Impulse is dragged into a track, its signal will be mixed with those
of the other instruments and effects feeding the audio chain of the track. It can oftentimes
make more sense to isolate the instrument or one of its individual drum samples, and send
this signal to a separate track. Please see the Routing chapter to learn how to accomplish
this for Impulse's overall signal or for Impulse's individual sample slots.
23.7 Latin Percussion
Latin Percussion is a multisampled library of acoustic percussion instruments from the worlds
of Brazilian, Afro-Cuban and African music. Developed in collaboration with e-instruments,
the collection consists of multi-articulation kits and instrument group presets, programmed
as Drum Racks for easy editing and performance possibilities. In addition to the instruments,
Latin Percussion comes with a collection of Live Sets that contain carefully programmed MIDI
patterns in a variety of traditional styles.
The full version of Latin Percussion is not included with the standard version of Live, but is a
special feature available for purchase separately.
