The sound edit knobs
Aud – This button lets you audition the sound chosen in the group
window to the left. This function is handy when auditioning the sounds
themselves and the edits you make to them.
Vel – The Velocity Offset knob alters the response of the drum
sounds. When turned counter-clockwise, the MIDI input velocities are
scaled down to lower values, making more use of the softer samples.
Turning the knob past 12 o'clock increases the input velocities, pro-
ducing a harder, louder sound. To compensate for the decrease/in-
crease in overall output, a volume compensating device is connected
to each group output.
This knob may also be regarded as a quick method for making the
acoustic drums sound more loose or tight.
Please note that this function only works (and makes sense) on multi-
sampled sounds, i.e. nearly all of the acoustic instruments.
Tune – You can tune each group up and down by as much as 12
seminotes with this knob. Please note that for delicate fine-tuning you
may want to hold down [Shift] on your computer keyboard for a more
detailed resolution.
There are eight rows of controls in the
area close to the middle of the screen.
The functions for all the eight instru-
ment groups are identical, so we're
using the top row as an example.
All knobs have their default position at
12 o'clock.
