User Manual

WAVELAB
28 – 668 Using samplers and creating loops
Depending on your sampler and the protocol you use for communicating,
the above features may or may not be supported. For example, SDS and
SMDI do not support names. SMDI supports Key and Detune whereas
SDS does not.
Detect from
audio selection
If you click this button, WaveLab will analyse the sample and determine
its pitch and amount of detune. For this to work properly, the sample
must be of such a nature that it is possible to clearly detect a pitch (it
won’t work properly with chords and drum loops for example).
Musical notation/
MIDI note number
These radio buttons let you choose whether to display the different key
values in the dialog with the key’s pitch or the key’s MIDI note number. In
musical notation, keys are denoted according to their pitch (e.g. C3 –
meaning the note C in the third octave). Each key corresponds to a MIDI
note number, from 0 – 127. The key C3 for example, corresponds to the
MIDI note number 48. MIDI note numbers make it possible for samplers
to automatically map samples to the correct keys.
Key range If a sample is part of a multi-sample key map, you can specify the key
range for the sample, i.e. which keys should be able to play it.
Velocity range If a sample is part of a multi-sample key map with velocity switchable
samples, you can here specify the velocity range for the sample – the
minimum and maximum velocity values that should trigger the sample.
