Auto Gain
Allows you to automatically adjust the level of grains using quieter sample parts.
This way, you get a more homogeneous signal and you can use a quiet part of a
sample as source.
Grains
Allows you to specify the number of grains, from 1 to 8. For example, with a
setting of 4, you get 4 grains per period of the grain duration.
To hear the effect of this setting, you have to play a new note.
Fixed Pitch
Plays the sample at a fixed pitch.
• If this button is activated, the sample follows the pitch of the keyboard.
The root key is C3.
• If this button is deactivated, the sample plays at its original pitch, and any
pitch modulations for the zone have no effect.
Mod Page
The Mod page contains the modulation matrix.
The modulation matrix offers you up to 16 freely assignable modulations, each with a source,
a modifier, and a destination with adjustable depth. The polarity of each source and each
modifier can be switched between unipolar and bipolar.
Creating Modulations
You create modulations by selecting a source, a modifier, and a destination from the pop-up
menus in the modulation matrix.
PROCEDURE
1. Click the modulation Source field and select the modulation source.
2. Optional: Click in the modulation Modifier field and select the parameter that you want
to use to modify the modulation.
This modifier is used to scale the output of the modulation source.
3. Optional: Specify whether you want the Source and Modifier parameters to be unipolar
or bipolar.
4. Set the modulation intensity with the Depth parameter.
