EDIT-MIDI/CTRL 6. MIDI/CTRL You use the MIDI/CTRL function to set the sample's MIDI Receive Channel, to designate its "alternate group," and to set up its controller handling. • The [COMMAND/EXIT] button gives you rapid access to a number of helpful commands while you are working with this function. For example, you can use the [COMMAND/EXIT] button when you want to save your edit results to disk, or when you want to cancel your new changes and restore the previously saved data. Press the [EDIT] button and the the [F4] button to go to the MIDI/CTRL functions. 3 display pages are provided: MIDISet (MIDI Setup), SmpCtrlA (Sample Controller A - page 146), and SmpCtrlB (Sample Controller B - page 146). • See the "Basic Operation" section on page 78 for details on switching between display pages. MIDI Set [EDIT] Button → [F4] Button → Knob 1 to select "EDIT-MIDISet" MIDI Set provides access to parameters which allow setting the sample receive channel, and parameters relating to pitch bend and velocity data reception. Knob 5 [ Turn] Alternate Groupe Turn the knob to select the "alternate group" for the sample. The A5000/A4000 supports 16 alternate groups. Set the value off if you do not want to place the sample into any of these groups. [Range] off, 1 - 16 • You use alternate groups to prevent simultaneous play of samples that do not go well together. Only one note from the group can be in play at any given time; playing any note from any sample in the group automatically switches off any other note already playing from that group. As an example, in general you would not want to play a "high-hat close" sound while a "high-hat open" sound is still audible. To prevent accidental overlap of these two sounds, you would place your "high-hatopen" sample and your "high-hat-close" sample into the same alternate group. If you then play the "close" sample while the "open" sample is still sounding, the A5000/A4000 immediately switches off the "open" sample and starts playing the "close" sample. • If you set the value to anything other than off, you will not be able to play more than one note from this sample at any given time.

The specified Basic Channel (page 89) is used. [ Press] MIDI When this knob is pressed the parameter can be directly set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external MIDI device. Knob 2 [ Turn] Pitch Bend Type This setting determines how strongly the pitchbend wheel controls the sample's pitch. More specifically, it determines how upward and downward wheel movements operate on the sample. [Range] Normal - Up&Dwn12 For Up2Dwn3 - Up3Dwn12 refer to the corresponding numbers A and B in the Up[A] Dwn[B] diagrams. Up&Dwn12 produces an abrupt variation over +/- one octave. • Slow&Rev and Stop&Rev produce reverse playback even with looped samples, with playback stopping when the start address is reached.
