EDIT-MAP/OUT Knob 2 [ Turn] Pitch Coarse Turn the knob to adjust the sample's pitch, in semitone increments. [Range] -127 - +127 [ Press] QUICK... Calls the quick entry menu (page 83). Knob 3 [ Turn] Pitch Fine Turn the knob to fine-tune the sample's pitch. Each click adjusts the pitch by 1.171875 cent. (Note: 100 cents = 1 semitone) [Range] -63 - +63 • When editing a sample bank "(---)" will appear and this parameter cannot be edited. [ Press] QUICK... Calls the quick entry menu (page 83). Knob 4 [ Turn] Fixed Pitch Set this parameter on if you want the sample to play at the same pitch over its entire key range. [Range] off, on • off ... The pitch of the sample depends on the note played. • on ... The sample will always play at the same pitch. Knob 5 [ Turn] Random Pitch Use this setting to impart a slight, random pitch variation to the sample's pitch. [Range] 0 - 63 • Set to 0 to eliminate all random variation. Increase the value to produce a greater range of variation. • Note that this variation is applied to each note at the start of its playback. This setting does not affect how pitch develops once the note has started playing. [ Press] QUICK... Calls the quick entry menu (page 83). Cursor w (Sample Portament) Knob 1 Same function as Cursor q (page 129). Knob 3 [ Turn] Sample Portamento Mode Turn either knob to select the mode. The "rate" settings select a fixed-rate slide, while the "time" settings select a fixed-time slide. [Range] off, =Pgm, rate (fingered), rate (fulltime), time (fingered), time (fulltime) • off ... No sample portamento. • =Pgm ... The Program Portamento setting (page 91) takes priority. • rate (fingered) ... Slides one note into the next only if the first note (key) is still held when the next note is struck. Slide is at a constant rate; the time required to slide from the first note's pitch to the next note's pitch increases as the difference between the pitches increases. • rate (fulltime) ... Pitch between consecutive notes always slides, even if the first note is released before the second note is struck. Again, pitch slide occurs at a constant rate. • time (fingered) ... Slides one note into the next only if the first note (key) is still held when the next note is struck. The slide time is always the same; the slide rate increases as the difference between the pitches increases. • time (fulltime) ... Pitch between consecutive notes always slides, even if the first note is released before the second note is struck. Again, the slide time is always the same. • Note that the "fingered" setting is effective only on samples that are set for one-note-at-a-time replay (samples whose Mono/Poly switch is set to mono; page 127). Samples set to poly always receive "fulltime" portamento. Knob 5 [ Turn] Sample Portamento Rate/Time This value sets the pitch slide rate or slide time. The setting determines the slide rate (if the mode is set to "rate") or the slide time (if the mode is set to "time"). [Range] 1 - 127 • This parameter cannot be edited when the Sample Portamento Mode is set to "=Pgm." [ Press] QUICK... Calls the quick entry menu (page 83).
