the Generic Sample instrument editor consists of a sample selector and several macros:
- Sample: specifies which sample should be assigned to the instrument.
- Use wavetable: uses wavetable instead of a sample.
- only available in Amiga and Generic PCM DAC.
- Use sample map: enables mapping different samples to notes. see next section for more information.
the sample map allows you to set a sample for each note. this can be used to create more realistic instruments, split key instruments, drum kits and more.
after enabling this option, a table appears with the contents of the sample map.
- the first column represents the input note.
- the second column allows you to type in a sample number for each note.
- you may press Delete to clear it.
- the third one is used to set the note at which the specified sample will play.
- the fourth and last column provides a combo box for selecting a sample.
you may right-click anywhere in the number and note columns for additional options:
- set entire map to this note: sets the note number of all notes to the selected cell's.
- set entire map to this sample: sets the sample number of all notes to the selected cell's.
- reset notes: resets the sample map's notes to defaults (a chromatic scale).
- clear map samples: removes all samples from the map.
- Volume: volume sequence. does not apply to some chips.
- Arpeggio: pitch sequence.
- Waveform: waveform sequence.
- only appears when "Use wavetable" is enabled.
- Panning (left): output level for left channel.
- Panning (right): output level for right channel.
- Pitch: fine pitch.
- Phase Reset: trigger restart of waveform.
