Sample Settings

This section allows you to override the unity note and fine tuning of individual samples.

There are some special considerations to be aware of when editing this part of the articulation:

•When you change a value in this section, only the single split which has the editing focus is modified. If additional regions or splits are selected (in yellow) they are not modified when you change these parameters, because the tuning and loop points appropriate to one sample are rarely appropriate for a different sample.

•Unlike other articulation parameters, these parameters are modified automatically when you map a sample to the region. The sample carries its own copy of these parameters (visible in the Sample properties dialog) and these values are copied to the articulation when the sample is mapped.

Unity note

When Pitch Tracking is enabled, this is the note at which the sample will be played at its original or native pitch. (When Pitch Tracking is disabled, the Unity Note is ignored.)

Fine tuning (cents)

Adjusts the fine tuning of the sample. Expressed in cents with a range of +/- 50.

Loop start, end, length

These parameters set the loop points for the sample. Set them to zero (the default) for unlooped samples.

The loop points are also visible and adjustable in the Waveform View window. The green marker is the loop start and the red marker is the loop end.
