GRAIN SAMPLE MANIPULATOR213
Jitter
The Jitter function modulates the sample playback position minutely and randomly. The Jitter function can be great
for generating “chorus”-like effects and to make a sound more “alive”, depending on the other settings in the sound.
D Set the playback position deviation with the Jitter knob.
At 0%, the timing and playback position is completely accurate and at 100% it is completely random.
Global Position
D Click the Global Position button to start playback of new voices from the global position, i.e. from where the
blue Position marker is currently positioned in the waveform display:
This function is great for rhythmic and vocoder-like sounds etc.
If not active, new voices will always start playing back from the Sample Start marker.
Root Key
A sample is automatically analyzed for its original pitch at the Sample Start position. The analyzed pitch is displayed
in the Analyzed display in the Root Key section. If you move the Sample Start marker, the sample is automatically re-
analyzed.
D Click the “SET” button to use the analyzed Root Key.
This will automatically place the analyzed Root Key on the correct note in the keyboard range.
D Alternatively, define the Root Key manually by dragging up/down in the “Semitone” and “Cents” boxes.
The Playback Algorithms section
Here is where you select which Playback Algorithm to use for manipulating the sample. Each of the Playback Algo-
rithms produce very different sonic results and have different unique parameters.
! Note that the common Pitch controls to the upper right could affect the sound differently, depending on the se-
lected algorithm.
D Click the Playback Algorithm selector and choose one of the following four algorithms:
