Dimension Controllers
Every dimension has a control sou rce which helps determine which sample will play back at any given
moment. e a vailable contro l sources are:
Velocity. is is the tr aditional “velocity switch”, typi cally using the velocity with which the key is struck to
select among samples recorded at various dynamic levels.
MIDI continuous controllers. When a traditional MIDI controller is assig ned to a dimension, the valu e of
that controller at note-on determines which split will sound. Examples include using the mod wheel to
switch between closed and open h i-hats, or using the sustain pedal to switch between piano samples
recorded with and without sustai n.
Layer. e Layer dimension is u nique in that all of its splits sound simultaneously, instead of just one.
Layers are sometimes used in conjunction with MIDI vol ume control and/or crossfades, to give continuous
control over the vol ume of each lay er.
Release trigger. is special ty pe of dimension typically has two splits and is used with sou nds that have
been divided into separate sustain a nd release samples. Whe n a note on is received the rst split is always
played. e s ample mapped to the second s plit is played at note o.
