Controlling Sample Playback with Sampler Tracks(Cubase Elements only)
Sampler Control
Tempo
Shows the tempo of the sample.
Root Key
Shows the root key that determines the pitch of the sample. You can change the root
key by entering a new value in the value field or by dragging the root key handle on
the Sampler Control keyboard.
Loop Mode
Allows you to select a loop mode for playback via MIDI.
● If this is set to No Loop, the sample is played once.
● If this is set to Continuous, the sample is played in a continuous loop.
● If this is set to Alternate, the sample is played back in a loop that alternates
forward and backward.
● If this is set to Once, the sample is looped once.
● If this is set to Until Release, the sample is looped repeatedly until you release
the key on the keyboard.
● If this is set to Alternate Until Release, the loop alternates forward and
backward for as long as you hold the key.
One Shot
The sample is played back once from beginning to end, regardless of any loop
settings.
MIDI Reset
Stops playback and resets all MIDI controllers to their default values.
This is useful, for example, if you want to stop playback of a long audio sample in
One Shot mode.
Fixed Pitch
If a sample is triggered by a MIDI note other than the one defined by the Root Key
setting, the sample is pitched accordingly. If Fixed Pitch is activated, the relation
between played note and root key is disregarded and all keys play the sample just as
it was recorded.
Reverse Sample
Reverses the sample. This allows you to play back the sample backwards.
Monophonic Mode
Activates monophonic playback. For solo instruments, this usually results in a more
naturally sounding performance. If monophonic playback is activated, a note that
was stolen by another note is retriggered if you still hold the stolen note when you
release the new one. This way, you can play trills by holding one note and quickly and
repeatedly pressing and releasing another note, for example.
