Trigger Mode
The Trigger Mode parameter defines the trigger behavior for new notes.
The following settings are available:
Option
Normal
Resume
Legato
When Resume or Legato is selected, you might hear an unnatural attack, depending
on the sample. To avoid this, activate the "Use Start Range" option for the sample
zone (see
Voice Groups
By assigning zones to a voice group, you can set their polyphony individually. In
addition, you can manage the polyphony across zones that are not part of the same
layer. Furthermore, zones can steal notes from each other, regardless of whether they
are in the same layer.
The voice group parameters are shown below the Voice Management settings.
The maximum number of notes that you can play in a voice group is limited by the
Polyphony setting of the corresponding program or layer.
Assigning Zones to Voice Groups
Proceed as follows:
1. In the Program Tree, select the zones that you want to add to a voice group.
2. Open the Sound editor for the zones.
3. In the Voice Control section, select the Trigger tab.
4. On the Voice Group pop-up menu, select a voice group.
Usually, the voice group numbers relate to the voice groups of the program. If the zone
is part of a layer with active voice groups, the numbers relate to the voice groups of
the layer instead.
Editing Voice Groups
The Voice Management parameters of voice groups are edited using the columns in
the table below the Voice Management section.
Exclusive Groups
When voice groups belong to the same exclusive group, they cannot be played back
simultaneously. The last triggered voice group has priority over the previously playing
voice groups. Any previously playing voice groups of the same exclusive group are cut
off.
Description
Triggers a new note when the previous note gets stolen. The sample
and the envelope of the new note are triggered from the start.
To minimize discontinuities, use the Fade Out parameter of the zone
(see "Voice Fade Out"
Does not always trigger a completely new note:
- If the new note stays within the same zone, the envelope is
retriggered, but resumes at the level of the stolen note. The pitch of
the zone is set to the new note.
- If the new note plays in a different zone, the sample and the
envelope of the new note are triggered from the start.
Does not always trigger a completely new note:
- If the new note stays within the same zone, the envelopes keep
running. The pitch of the zone is set to the new note.
- If the new note plays in a different zone, the sample and the
envelope of the new note are triggered from the start.
