MIMIC CREATIVE SAMPLER794
Slot Select
Mimic has eight Slots, which can hold one sample each. Each Slot also has a complete parameter setup on the Mimic
front panel, so each slot can have its own unique parameter configuration.
D Click the desired Slot Select button to bring up all parameters for that slot, including the sample and its set-
tings.
! Note that in Pitch Mode and Slice Mode (see above), only one single Slot can play back its sample at a time (as
indicated by the grayed out waveforms below the other Slot Select buttons).
Performance and “play” controls
Each of the eight Slots has their own individual set of performance/play controls on the front panel:
Porta
Portamento makes note pitches glide from previous notes to new ones, at the time set with the Time knob. Porta-
mento can be used in all Key modes (see above).
• When On in Poly Key Mode (see below), the pitches will glide from any of the available voices.
The results will be unpredictable since there is no way of controlling from which note(s) the glide(s) will com-
mence. The effect is very nice, though.
• When On in Mono Retrig or Mono Legato Key Mode (see below), the pitch will glide between consecutive
notes.
• In Auto mode, the pitch will glide between consecutive monophonic notes only when you play legato. If you
have selected Poly Key Mode (see below), Auto will have no effect at all.
If you release the previous key before hitting the new key, there will be no portamento effect.
Key Mode
Here you choose how Mimic should respond to MIDI Note data:
•Poly
Select this if you want to play Mimic polyphonically.
• Mono Retrig
Select this if you want to play Mimic in monophonic mode and always retrigger the envelopes as soon as you play
a new note.
