The Modulation Oscillator
Sampler features one dedicated modulation oscillator per voice, which can perform fre-
quency or amplitude modulation (FM or AM) on the multisample. The oscillator is fully
featured, with 21 waveforms, plus its own loopable amplitude envelope for dynamic wave-
shaping. Note that this oscillator performs modulation only  its output is never heard
directly. What you hear is the effect of its output upon the multisample.
The Pitch Envelope
The pitch envelope modulates the pitch of the sample over time, as well as of the Modulation
Oscillator, if it is enabled. This is a multi-stage envelope with Initial, Peak, Sustain and End
levels. The time needed to travel between the levels is determined by the Attack, Decay and
Release settings. The values of the envelope parameters can be adjusted via the sliders, or
by dragging the breakpoints in the envelope's display. Clicking on the diamonds between
the breakpoints allows you to adjust the slope of the envelope segments. Positive slope
values cause the envelope to move quickly at the beginning, then slower. Negative slope
values cause the envelope to remain at for longer, then move faster at the end. A slope of
zero is linear; the envelope will move at the same rate throughout the segment.
