Waveform Display

The graphical editor shows the sample waveform and a marker at the position of the sample that is used for extracting the spectrum.

If Speed is set to 0, the position marker remains static. At a value above 0, the marker moves to show the current playback position. The spectrum changes depending on the sample position. If Loop is set to On or Alternate, you can edit the loop start and end markers by dragging them in the display.

Reverse Sample

Activate this to play the sample backwards.

This also reverses the waveform in the waveform display.

This setting is also available on the Sample page. When you change it on one page, the change is automatically reflected on the other.

Hold Last Spectrum

Activate Hold Last Spectrum to keep the last spectrum, once sample playback reaches the sample end or sample start, depending on the playback direction. This is especially useful if Sustain Mode is activated for the amplifier envelope, because the last spectrum acts like a single-cycle loop that can be played for as long as a key is held.

High Definition

Doubles the frequency resolution of the resynthesis. This can increase the sound quality for low note samples or samples that contain a very broad spectrum.

Note

This mode requires substantially more processing power. Therefore, you should only use it when necessary.

Inharmonicity (Tonal Resynth Mode only)

This parameter scales the frequency offsets of all partials. The effect of this parameter largely depends on whether frequency offsets exist in the signal. If a sound is strictly harmonic, that is, if there are no frequency offsets, the Inharmonicity control does not have an effect.

The frequencies of the partials are compared to the harmonic series, starting two octaves below the played pitch. If a sound is not strictly harmonic, the frequencies of some of the partials are offset to match the frequencies of the assumed harmonic series.

At 0%, only harmonic frequencies are allowed. At +100%, you hear the original sound. At +200%, the frequencies are assigned twice the frequency offset. Negative values invert the frequency offsets accordingly.

Auto Gain

Allows you to automatically adjust the level of quieter sample parts. Note that by raising the gain, you can lose the dynamics of the sample.

Trigger

Specifies what happens when you click in the waveform display.

  • If Trigger is deactivated, you can set the position by clicking in the waveform display.

  • If Trigger is activated, clicking in the waveform display triggers the sound.

    For this, the MIDI trigger note specified for the trigger pad in the Input section is used.
