Performance patches can also exhibit interesting characteristics that differ when playing
live and when playing back a region. When you play a note live on the keyboard, the
sample is played from the sample anchor—a marker that represents the musical focus
of the sample, or the position that should land on a beat. When you play back recorded
MIDI events, however, the full sample is played, even if it starts before the note on event.
This behavior leads to more natural-sounding instruments—for example, the sound of a
tambourine that is generated before the actual palm hit.

Blocks & Bells: Velocity splits are used to emulate different playing styles such as muted,
stick, and mallet strikes. There is no performance key mapping in this instrument.
