7. MODEL:SAMPLES CONTROLS
7.1 TRIG KEYS
The [TRIG] keys have several uses, including for example, placing trigs in GRID RECORDING mode and
playing a sample chromatically.. When pressed in combination with the [PATTERN] they select patterns.
The [TRIG] keys light up to indicate the position of placed trigs and to indicate the selected bank and track.
7.2 ROTARY ENCODERS
The LEVEL/DATA, MAIN VOLUME and PARAMETER knobs (with which you set various parameter values),
are relative encoders which may be spun any number of turns.
7.3 PADS
The Model:Samples can be played using the [T1–6] pads The responsive pads are made of sturdy synthetic
rubber and are velocity sensitive. Pressing a pad triggers its track sound and also sets the pads track to
active.
7.3.1 PAD CONFIGURATION MENU
Here you can set several parameters related to the [T1–6] pads. Press [FUNC] + [BACK] to access the
PAD menu. Use the LEVEL/DATA knob to navigate the menu and change the parameter settings.
FVEL Fixed velocity set the pads to trig with a fixed velocity. (ON, OFF)
VEL Velocity sets the fixed velocity value for the pads when FVEL is ON. (0–127)
Press and hold [FUNC] + [BACK] for a second to toggle the fixed velocity on/o.
7.4 KEY BEHAVIOR
As a group, the track selection keys ([T1–6] pads) have radio button functionality, i.e., when a new track is
set to be active, the previous one is simultaneously deactivated. You can only select one track at a time.
The [FUNC], [TRACK], [PATTERN], and [RETRIG] keys are always used in combination with other keys.
7.5 MIDI NOTES
You can use an external MIDI device (a MIDI keyboard or a computer, for example) to send MIDI note values
to trig several functions on the Model:Samples.
Of the 128 notes in the standard MIDI range, Note numbers 0–5 correspond to notes C0 through to F0, the
leftmost octave (which is sometimes called C-2–F-2 in some applications). These notes trigger the sample
of track 1 through track 6, respectively (provided they are set to their default channels 1-6). These note
values map to each of the six tracks, regardless of which track is active.
MIDI note numbers 12–60 (corresponding to notes C1–C5, the second through to fifth octaves in the MIDI
range) trigger the sample of the active track in any of its 49 chromatic variations (as if played by the [TRIG]
keys in CHROMATIC mode, see section below), from lowest to highest pitch.
MIDI program change messages 0–95 selects pattern 1–96 (A01–F16) on the Model:Samples. Additionally,
MIDI CC messages can be sent to control various aspects of the Model:Samples. For more information,
please see “APPENDIX A: MIDI SPECIFICATIONS” on page 49.
