Finger on the Trigger
One Shot—Turn this parameter on so that the sample plays all the way
through when you strike its pad. This makes the pad act like a trigger:
Just hit it, and the sample plays without your having to hold down the
pad.
If you turn on One Shot and the sample still doesn’t play all the way
through, go down to the Amplifier R (for “Release”) parameter at the
bottom of the window and turn it all the way up.
The How Loud and Where Settings
Level—This parameter sets the volume of the partial that plays the
sample.
If you’ve got more than one sample in a patch, use this parameter to
set their volumes relative to each other, and set the sample you want
to be the loudest to 127.
Pan—This sets the stereo location of the partial.
If you’re working on a patch that contains drum kit sounds, you can pan
their individual partials to sound like a real-world drum kit.
When you record with a patch, its track has its own Pan setting that
shifts the stereo position of all of the samples in the patch to the left
or right.
Cause of Effects
Output Assign—sets where the sample’s sound goes. You can select:
Mix—so the sample is sent into the main mix as it is.
Aux1-4—so the sample is sent to the Aux bus that’s feeding the
MFX (for “Multi-Effects”) effect processor. This allows you to add
MFX to the sample.

You can also send related samples to the same Aux bus, allowing you
to change all of their volumes at once in the MIXER (AUX/FX/AUDIO
PHRASE/INPUT) window.
If you’ve installed an optional MP8-OP1 audio expansion board, you can
send the sample to a single output jack (Mlt1-8) or to a stereo pair of
output jacks (M1/2-7/8).
DlyCho Send—sets the amount of delay or chorus you want to add.
Rev Send—sets the amount of reverb you want to add.
Playing Fast and Playing Rolls
Assign Type—This parameter sets what happens when you play fast
notes or rolls. If you set it to:
Mult—the sample plays through each time you hit the pad. This
setting produces the most natural sound.
Sngl—each time you hit the pad, it cuts off the previous note,
creating a more mechanical sound.
Me. No, Me.
Excl Group—If you assign two or more partials to the same exclusive
group, they cut off each others’ notes. In drum-kit patches, the open
and closed hi-hat partials are often set to the same exclusive group so
they can’t play at the same time, just like in the real world.
