Sampler functions
To save you work when editing a program with a large number of keygroups, the next
parameter allows you to specify whether editing changes to the keygroups will take place
over all keygroups, or just the one which has been selected. If you choose ALL in a
mufti-sample program, it is then relatively easy to go back and "fine-tune" individual
keygroups.
The "overlapping group CROSSFADE" parameter may be set ON or OFF. If ON, then
any keygroups whose keyspans overlap will automatically be crossfaded at the overlap
points, giving a smoother sound for multisampled programs.
In this multi-sample program, there is no keyboard crossfading, so there
may be audible jumps' between samples.
In this mufti-sample pro
g
ram, keyboard crossfadin
g
has been implemented.
The gray triangles represent areas of crossfading, where two samples
overlap, and a smoother transition is achieved at these points.
The last parameter on this page
"note-on sample COHERENCE" requires a little
explanation. When the sampler portion of the S1000 receives information from an external
MIDI source which requires it to play a number of samples simultaneously, a finite
amount of time is taken to perform the calculations necessary to play each sound. When
playing a note which plays a number of percussive samples, it is possible that you may
hear a slight "staggering" of the notes in the chord. To avoid this, set this COHERENCE
parameter to ON. In that way, the S1000 will wait until the data for all notes in the chord
is ready, and then play all notes simultaneously. There may be a slight processing lag, but
in the normal run of events, this should be unnoticeable. Your sequencer may allow you to
correct the timing, in any case. It is suggested that you use this parameter to ON when
using stereo samples, or velocity or keygroup crossfading.
