This parameter determines the stereo position of the Instrument (L7–Ctr–r7/rnd). 88) changes the attenuation time at the end of the loop. Changing the decay setting for a Phrase Loop Instrument (p. 54), the decay parameter has no effect on Hi-Hat Cymbals for pedal control (instruments H01–H17). When the connected pedal is assigned to “HH†(p. Higher settings will result in a longerįor some Instruments, raising the decay beyond a certain point will not be possible. This parameter adjusts the decay of the Instrument (-31–+31). Each step will change the pitch by a semitone (100 cents).įor some Instruments, raising the pitch beyond a certain point will not be possible. This parameter determines the pitch of the Instrument (-24–+24). When FX SEND in the SOUND parameter group is set above 0, the effects sound alone will be heard even if the LEVEL parameter is set to 0. At a setting of 0 there will be no sound. This parameter determines the volume (0–15).
