CHAPTER 22. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 364
important to keep in mind that most of the values in this tab reect the state of the currently
selected sample only. The Sample chooser always displays the current sample layer's name,
and is another way to switch between layers when editing.
The RootKey, Detune, Vol and Pan parameters add basic per-sample mixing tools for quick
assembly and tweaking of multisamples.
Reverse This is a global, modulatable control that reverses playback of the entire multi-
sample. Unlike the Reverse function in the Clip View, a new sample le is not generated.
Instead, sample playback begins from the Sample End point, proceeds backwards through
the Sustain Loop (if active), and arrives at the Sample Start point.
Snap Snaps all start and end points to the waveform zero-crossings (points where the
amplitude is zero) to avoid clicks. As with Simpler, this snap is based on the left channel of
stereo samples, so a small Crossfade value may be necessary in some cases to completely
eliminate clicks.
Sample Displays the name of the current sample layer, and can be used to quickly select
from among the sample layers of the loaded multisample.
Root Key (RootKey) Denes the root key of the current sample.
Detune The sample tuning can be adjusted here by +/- 50 cents.
Volume A wide-range volume control, variable from full attenuation to a gain of +24 dB.
Pan Samples can be individually panned anywhere in the stereo panorama.
Sample Playback
All of the following sample-specic parameters work in conjunction with the global volume
envelope (in the Filter/Global tab) to create the basic voicing of the Sampler instrument. If
you are unfamiliar with how envelopes work, you will nd that they are well documented in
Operator's Envelopes section.
All time-based values in this tab are displayed in either samples or hours:seconds:millise-
conds, which can be toggled using the (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) context menu on any
of their parameter boxes. Samples in this context refer to the smallest measurable unit in
