Record Folder

Naming Scheme

Allows you to set up a naming scheme for the recorded samples. The file name can be a combination of a text and a selection of predefined elements.

  • You can enter the text for the file name in the text field.

  • To add one of the predefined elements to the naming scheme, click the triangle to the left and select it from the pop-up menu.

  • You can modify the naming scheme by cutting, copying, and pasting in the text field.

The resulting name is displayed as an example above the text field.

Note

To avoid duplicate file names, a continuous counter is automatically added to the file name.

Zone Settings

Zone Template

Allows you to select a zone template that is used to create new sample zones.

Playback Mode

Specifies how the zone is played back.

  • In Normal mode, the sample starts playing when a key is triggered and stops when the key is released.

  • In One Shot mode, the sample is played back in its entirety, any note-off events are ignored.

  • In Loop mode, the sample is played back in a loop. The loop is set up so that loop start and end correspond to the start and end of the sample.

Auto Trim

Zero Crossing moves the sample start and end markers automatically to the nearest zero crossing before the start and after the end of the recording.

Silence automatically removes any silence before the audio starts and after it ends. The sample start and end markers are set accordingly.

Auto Normalize

Allows you to normalize the audio of the recorded sample to the specified level.

Note

This operation is non-destructive and only affects the Gain parameter of the sample.
