In either LFO pane:
1. Choose a modulation target for the LFO from the Target pop-up menu.
2. Set the amount of LFO modulation with the Amount slider.
You can also choose a second modulation source from the via pop-up menu, which is
used to control the modulation amount, or range, of the LFO.
3. Choose a modulation source from the via pop-up menu.
When a via source is active, two handles are shown for the Amount slider.
• Use the left Amount slider handle to set the minimum LFO amount.
• Use the right Amount slider handle to set the maximum LFO amount, controlled by
the via source.
• You can drag either Amount slider handle to change values and to increase the
modulation range between the slider handles. You can also directly drag the
modulation range area to move both Amount sliders.
MainStage Quick Sampler Pitch controls
Quick Sampler Pitch controls affect the playback pitch behavior of the current audio file.
You can control pitch over time with a dedicated multimode envelope. Parameters that are
modulation targets are indicated by a white dot when a note is played. The modulation
range is shown as an orange ring around target parameters.
If you’re new to synthesizers and the concepts behind components such as filters, LFOs,
and envelopes, see Synthesizer basics overview.
Quick Sampler Pitch parameters
• Coarse knob and field: Tune the instrument in semitone steps.
• Fine knob and field: Tune the instrument in cents. One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
• Glide knob and field: Set the amount of time it takes to slide between the pitches of
each played note.
• Env Depth knob and field: Set the amount of envelope modulation.
