2. Mapping

Mapping determines the range of notes on the keyboard or other controller that will play the sample,

and how the sample will respond to those notes - e.g. whether it will always play at the same pitch or at

different pitches corresponding to the notes played. You can, for example, have a single sample played

across the entire note range, several split or overlapping samples played in different note ranges, or

many samples each played by an individual key/note.

Step-by-Step procedure on page 46.

3. Filter, EG, and LFO

If you want to actually modify the sound of your samples to create a desired musical effect, you might

want to apply:

• Static or dynamic velocity-controlled ﬁltering to modify the timbre of the sound or created “wah-

wah” type effects.

Step-by-Step procedure on page 47.

• Envelope-generator-based amplitude, ﬁlter, or pitch variations such that the controlled parameter

varies over time whenever a note is played.

Step-by-Step procedure on page 50.

ENVELOPE

Envelope generators can produce time-based

variations in amplitude, ﬁlter frecuency or pitch.
