Frequency: C0...C10—Sets the base frequency of the instrument in
semitones. When Sample Stretch is off, changing the parameter value
here shifts the sample set relative to that value. When Sample Stretch is
on, changing the parameter value here will tune the pitch of the stretched
sample by the designated value.
Fine Tune: -50...+50—Sets the base frequency of the instrument in cents.
You can “tune” an instrument or sample with this control.
Tone: -64...+63—The Tone control is a high-pass/low-pass lter. Use it
to remove unwanted high or low frequencies in the selected instrument
so that it blends better with the other components in a sound (such as a
second sampled instrument or the oscillators). Turn the knob clockwise to cut
low frequencies. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to cut high frequencies.
Key Follow: On, Off—Turns pitch tracking on and off for an instrument.
When off, playing higher or lower notes on the keyboard will not change
the pitch of an instrument. This is useful for sound effects and percus-
sion, where you may not want pitch shifting to occur.
