Layer Thresholds
The Layer Thresholds control contains 15 sliders. You can drag the sliders. If your patch contains less than
16 layers you can drag any unused sliders all the way left.
Formant Correction
In general, instruments played hard produce more harmonics than they do when played soft (the 'formant'
changes). The Sampler contains a special filter that mimics this behavior. This filter can be activated using
the Formant Correction button.
General Controls
The Release control sets the time it takes to reach 60dB attenuation when a Note-Off event is received.
When Discard NoteOff is active Note-Off events are ignored. This is useful for drum patches.
The Brightness control controls the relative level of the sample's harmonics.
Using the Detune control the patch can be exactly tuned.
The Piano Sustain button makes the sustain pedal behave like it does on a piano, ie. the sustain pedal can
still "catch" the sound of keys that have been released if the corresponding strings aren't fully damped yet.
The Variation button will slightly change the pitch, brightness and volume level of every note. This can be
used to avoid machine-gun effects when notes are played repetitively. Some real-world instruments, like
used to avoid machine-gun effects when notes are played repetitively. Some real-world instruments, like
piano and organ, can't really produce these pitch and brightness changes, it's probably best not to use this
feature on these kind of instruments.
The New Patch button loads an empty patch.
Sustain Pedal noise
The highest note (G10) samples of the "Note On with Sustain" and "Note Off" type are used for a special
purpose. They are triggered by sustain pedal down and up movements respectively. They can be used to
play samples of the sound a piano pedal makes.
18.2 Level Meters
The Level Meters are based on DIN PPM meters, where 0db = 0dBFS. They also feature a "peak hold"
mechanism. Signal peaks are being shown by a single segment for 2 seconds.
If the audio signal is stereo a meter will display both the left and the right channel, the upper signal being
the left channel.
The right-hand segment will start flashing if clipping occurred (ie. if the level was greater than 0 dB). This
only happens if this overload actually is a problem:
