Sampling To better understand how trigger level works, let's look at Volume a specific example - sampling of the phrase "a one and a (level) Sampling start point two." In this phrase, "one" and "two" are louder than the other Trigger level words. Since the first "a" is lower than the trigger level, the a one and a two 9000Pro doesn't actually start sampling until the word Time "one." If you want the phrase to be sampled from the first word, the trigger level should be set lower. Volume (level) Sampling start point With this new trigger level setting, the entire phrase will be sampled. Be careful, however, not to set the trigger level too low, or else sampling may start from some accidental or extraneous sound (such as breathing noises, touching the microphone, etc.). New trigger a one and a two level Time I Waves & Waveforms The terms "wave" and "waveform" have distinct meanings in 9000Pro sampling termi- nology, as follows: G Wave A "wave" is the raw audio data created whenever you sample a new sound or import a WAV or AIFF format wave file. The 9000Pro WAVE EDIT mode includes functions which allow you to edit this basic data: e.g. resampling to change the sampling frequency, trimming and looping, normalization for maximum level and minimum noise, etc. G Waveform All 9000Pro waves are contained in a "waveform", which is basically a set of parameters which define the keyboard range over which the wave or waves it contains will play. A waveform can contain one or more waves, and waves can be shared by more than one waveform. Waves in a waveform can be assigned to different ranges of the keyboard, but they cannot be layered (i.e. they will not sound simultaneously when a single key is played). The 9000Pro WAVEFORM EDIT mode lets you add or delete waves from a waveform, and assign the waves to different keyboard ranges.
