Position Settings

If you repeatedly play back the same portion of a sample, the sound may become too static. You can use the position settings on the left of the waveform display to bring more liveliness into the sound.

Position

Sets the start position within the sample, that is, the marker that is played when a note is triggered. For example, at a setting of 50 %, the playback position is in the middle of the sample.

Random Position

Allows you to vary the position each time that a note is triggered. At a setting of 100 %, the playback position jumps to a random position within the sample range. This can be used to widen the panorama of the sound.

Channel Offset

Offsets the playback position for each channel of the sample. Positive values modify the playback position of the right channel, and negative values modify the playback position of the left channel. In either case, the other channel is not affected. This can be used to widen the panorama of the sound. If the sample is mono, the oscillator creates a copy of the channel. This allows you to create a stereo sound from a mono sample, for example.
