Sample Start
The Start parameter allows you to adjust the start point of the sample. The higher the
Start value, the further the start point is moved “into” the sample. If you set the Start
Velocity knob to a positive amount, the sample start point is moved forward with
higher velocities. A negative Start Velocity amount inverts this relationship.
D When Start Velocity is set to any other value than zero, the LED above
the knob lights up.
D A negative Start Velocity amount is only useful if you have set the Start
parameter to a value higher than 0.
By raising the Start value a bit and setting Start Velocity to a negative value, you
can create rather realistic velocity control over some drum sounds. This is because
the very first transients in the drum sound will only be heard when you play hard
notes.
! The Sample Start settings are available for drum sound channels 3-5, 8
and 9.
Global Settings
Channel 8 & 9 Exclusive
If this button is activated, the sounds loaded into drum channels 8 and 9 will be exclu-
sive. In other words, if a sound is played in channel 8 it will be silenced the moment a
sound is triggered in channel 9, and vice versa.
The most obvious application for this feature is to “cut off” an open hi-hat with a
closed hi-hat, just like a real one does.
High Quality Interpolation
When this is activated, the sample playback is calculated using a more advanced in-
terpolation algorithm. This results in better audio quality, especially for drum samples
with a lot of high frequency content.
D High Quality Interpolation uses more computer power - if you don’t need
it, it’s a good idea to turn it off!
Listen to the drum sounds in a context and determine whether you think this set-
ting makes any difference.
! If you are using a Macintosh with a G4 (Altivec) processor or better, turn-
ing High Quality Interpolation off makes no difference.
Master Level
The Master Level knob in the top left corner of the device panel governs the overall
volume from Redrum.
