SAMPLER VOLUME MODE

When in Sampler mode, use the VOLUME button at the bottom [B5] to set Pads to Volume Control.



In this mode, the 8 columns of Pads adjust the Volume of the 1st to 8th sample of the selected Sampler Bank. Press a pad inside the column of the corresponding sampler slot to gradually* adjust its Volume from the minimum (zero) - when lowest pad is pressed - to the maximum (volume 100%) - when the upper pad is pressed.

* The speed that the volume will increase/decrease to the set value, depends on the velocity (how hard the pad is initially pressed).

The Colors of the Pads in the same column will automatically get the color of the sample (1 to 8).

Note that if a sample (1 to 8) is assigned to a Sampler group, adjusting its volume will also adjust the volumes of all samples that are assigned to the same group. Sampler groups are defined in Sampler Editor.
If you wish to adjust the Volume of a single sample, without affecting the volumes of the other samples in the same group, use the right-side arrow buttons (R1 to R8) to select a block of samples (1 to 8, 9 to 16 ... etc up to 57 to 64). When all right-side arrow buttons are off, the Pads in the 8 columns will adjust the volume of all samples in the same group.

When in Sampler mode, use the PAN button at the bottom [B6] to set the 64 Pads to Volume Groups Control. In this mode, the 8 columns represent the volumes of the available sampler groups in the selected Sampler bank. If no groups are defined/assigned to any sample, the pads/columns will have no functionality.
