Deﬁning Layer Parameters

Tuning The Tuning parameter changes the pitch of the key in semitone and 1/64

semitone intervals.

Use the Coarse ﬁeld to shift the tuning by semitone intervals. Use the Fine

ﬁeld to shift tuning by 1/64 semitones (or 1.56 cents) intervals.

Background: Transpose vs. Coarse Tuning

Transpose works by shifting the keyboard assignment of the Instrument (as

if you were sliding the keyboard up and down with the Instrument

remaining in the same position). Coarse Tuning keeps the instrument

placement on the keyboard and actually tunes the samples up using a

digital process called interpolation. Use Course Tuning on drum instru-

ments to change the pitch while keeping sample placement constant.

Coarse Tuning can also be useful to slightly change the timbre of the

instrument.

Ampliﬁer This parameter sets the initial volume and pan position of the current layer.

These values can be changed using any Real-time Controller set up in the

PatchCords. The value range for the volume is from -96 dB to +10 dB. 0 dB

is the default setting. Routinely turning the volume up to +10 dB is not

recommended because it doesn’t allow other modulation sources to

increase the volume further.

This ﬁeld determines the initial Pan value for the current layer. The value

range for Pan is from 64L to 0 (left) and 0 to 63R (right). Pan adjusts the

volume into the left and right output channels relative to the Pan setting in

the main Preset Select screen (see “Channel Pan” on page 27). So, if you, for

example, set the Pan value in the Preset Select screen to 64L and set this

Pan value to 63R, the actual pan amount would be 0 as these two pan

parameters are relative to each other.
