Sampler functions

"ster . pan" controls the overall pan position of the program in the stereo image,

interacting with the individual pan settings in the SMP2 page. This parameter can take

values from L50 through MID to R50. Of course, this parameter will have no effect on

the output from individual outputs.

The last parameter in this column, "

keys pan" can be used to create a pseudo-stereo

sample from a mono sample. It can take values from +50 to -50. When set to positive

values, the higher the key being played, the further to the right the program will be placed

in the stereo image. Negative values will reverse this effect. Useful, perhaps, for a piano

sample, to give the illusion of "keyboard spread" between the speakers or to spread a

single tom sample played on a range of keys across the image. This parameter has no

effect on the output from the individual outputs.

The last column of this page is concerned exclusively with the control of the pan position

of the program from the stereo outputs. The first three parameters control an LFO which is

used for autopanning. The "

speed" and "depth" parameters (both 00 to 99) do exactly

what you'd expect: the "

depth" parameter providing the greatest amount of panning when

set to high values, and the "

delay" parameter is used to set the delay time between the key

being pressed and the LFO taking full effect.

The last parameter on this page, "

modwhl", allows you to use a modulation wheel or any

controller which has been assigned the MIDI controller number 1 to affect the pan

position of the sound. Setting this to a positive value will start the sound in the left half of

the image, and moving the modulation wheel will send it to the right. A negative value

will have the opposite effect. Try setting up two identical programs, but with this

parameter positive on one and negative on the other. Moving the modulation wheel will

produce some interesting effects!

Pitch

The

PTCH button will bring up the PITCH and MOD page, allowing you to specify the

parameters for a pitch modulation LFO, the amount by which the depth of this LFO can be

increased by keyboard parameters, and parameters affecting pitchbend. In addition, the

overall tuning of the program and synchronization of the LFOs can be set here.

The pitch modulation LFO has three parameters - "

speed", "depth" and "delay", which

work as you would expect on a synthesizer LFO. The "

delay" parameter specifies the

time from the key press to the LFO taking full effect. The "

key" parameters vary the

amount of LFO parameter applied, depending on the key position (positive numbers

increase the values for high keys).
