MIDI unity note and Fine tune

Once you specify a configuration in the Sampler dialog, the Sampler area near the bottom of the dialog displays all relevant sampler configuration information.

The bottom pane of the dialog contains two additional parameters: MIDI unity note and Fine tune.

MIDI unity note

The MIDI unity note value indicates the pitch to which the sample is tuned.

Fine tune

The Fine tune value indicates any minor tuning differences (measured in cents) in the sample.

Editing MIDI unity note and Fine tune

Both values can be edited and used with samplers that support tuning information by choosing Edit Sample from the Special menu.

Note: Sound Forge does not use this information.

Using the MIDI Keyboard

With the MIDI Keyboard, you can control internal/external synthesizers and samplers from Sound Forge. The MIDI Keyboard can also be used to listen to the sounds on a synthesizer or in the synthesis section of the sound card.

Displaying the MIDI Keyboard

To display the MIDI Keyboard, choose Keyboard from the View menu. The keyboard can be resized, moved, or docked within the workspace.
