What is a multisample?
Asampleisadigitalrecordingofaparticularinstrumentor
waveform(orothernaturalorartificiallyprocessedsound)
recordedataspecificpitch.Amultisampleisacollectionof
similarlyvoicedsamples,usedtocreatethesametypeof

keyboard,asthebasisofaprogram.Theoscillatorsofsingle
anddoubleprogramsusemultisamples.Thereare136mul‐
tisamplesavailableinthisinstrument.
Youcanassignuptofourmultisamplestoeachoscillator
andswitchbetweenthembyvelocity.
