35 Editing the Sounds
You can edit each single parameter of a Sound. Pa4X is, at its core, a power-
ful sample-based synthesizer, with advanced analogue-like sound shaping
features.
Sound generation
At the base of each Sound there are Samples, that are recordings of real
sounds.
Each Sample is assigned to a separate zone of the keyboard together with
other Samples to create a Multisample. One or two Multisamples are as-
signed to each Oscillator.
Up to twenty-four Oscillators can be put together to make a Sound. In a
Sound, Oscillators are balanced, layered, and processed by the Effects.
Sounds are the basic unit of the Pa4X’s timbre, and can be combined in
Sound sets called Keyboard Sets. They can also be assigned to Style and
Song tracks.
