The table allows the view and editing of the overall configuration of an instrument. A change of a parameter in the "global" division applies to all division, except for divisions whose same parameter is already specified.
The editable parameters are:
- Keyrange
Keyrange for which the sound will be heard.
- Velocity range
Velocity range for which the sound will be heard. It is possible to set different sounds for the same note, with different velocity ranges (to distinguish different nuances of a piano key for example).
- Attenuation
Attenuation applied to sample.
- Pan
Balance applied to the sound, to hear it to the left or to the right in stereo.
- Loop playback
0 indicates a sound reproduced with no loop, 1 indicates a sound which loops continuously, 3 indicates a sound which loops for the duration of key depression and then proceeds to play the remainder of the sample.
- Rootkey
Allows you to overwrite the rootkey of a sample to hear a different note from that normally used.
- Tuning
Change the tuning in semitones and cents of semitones. Changing "scale" plays on the difference between two consecutive notes.
- Filter
Apply or not a low-pass filter, by specifying the cutoff frequency and the resonance.
- Volume envelope
Change the volume envelope, and possibly its evolution with the note.
- Modulation
Set a modulation (envelope, delay, frequency, changes with the note) and its effect on the tone, filter, volume.
- Vibrato
Set a vibrato (time, frequency) and its effect on the tone
- Classe exclusive
This parameter defines exclusive classes, assigning a set of sounds the same value different from 0. When an exclusive class is defined, any note triggered from one of the sounds of the exclusive class ends all the sounds of the class. The scope of an exclusive class is the preset in which the class is defined (a sound triggered in an instrument may ends a sound of another instrument if the two instruments are in the same preset). This effect can be used for percussions like a cymbal.
- Chorus and reverb
Indicates the intensity of chorus and reverb effects.
- Fixed key and velocity
Can freezes the key and velocity on the keyrange specified by the linked sample.
- Offsets
Changes the positions of the start and end of a sound during playback, as well as the start and end of the loop.
Editing facilities in the table
To facilitate and speed up editing in a table, the following features have been implemented:
- the mouse wheel may be used to change a value (the cell has to be in edit mode first),
- a multiple selection, followed by the editing of the last cell, will edit all cells simultaneously,
- the keys "delete" and "suppr" clear the content of all selected cells,
- stereo divisions may be edited simultaneously if the option is ticked in the software settings.
Do not forget the tools available! In particular the global setting tool.
