| Mode | Pitched spreads the zones across the keyboard by root note. Kit plays each zone on its root key only. |
| Gain | Output level. |
| BendRange | How far the pitch wheel reaches at full travel, in semitones. Two is the common default; zero ignores the wheel. |
| Attack | Rise time of every note in milliseconds. With a bank loaded it scales the zone's own attack, so the default plays the bank as written. |
| Decay | Fall time to the Sustain level in milliseconds, scaled the same way with a bank. |
| Sustain | The held level, 0 to 1. |
| Release | Fade time after the key is released, in milliseconds. |
| Polyphony | The number of voices sounding at once. Past it the oldest voice is stolen. |
| Loop | On holds a note on the loop points the file brings, for as long as you keep the key down; a file that carries none plays through either way. Off ignores every loop point and lets each note run to the end of its sample, which is the one to reach for when a library's loops sit badly. The turn is crossfaded, so a loop whose two ends do not line up holds instead of clicking once a cycle. |
| File1 | The sound file in slot 1, and so on for File2 to File8. |
| Root1 | The MIDI note slot 1 plays at native pitch, 60 by default, and so on for Root2 to Root8. A file that records its own key sets it on load; for a kit, set each root to the key you want it on. |
| FileBank | A sound bank file. While one is loaded it is what plays. |
| Preset | Which instrument in the bank answers, listed by name. |
| RecSlot | The slot a take lands in. |
| RecordDuration | Stops a take by itself after that many milliseconds. At 0 a take runs until you stop it or until the thirty-second ceiling. |
| Record | Starts a take from the audio inlet. Press it again to stop. |
| Bits | Sample word length, 8 to 24. Below 24 the file is stored coarsely, the way early hardware samplers did, with dither so the coarseness lands as a steady floor instead of a buzz that follows the note down. Moving it re-reads the file. The arrows step through the standard depths, 8, 12, 16 and 24; type any other number in the box. |
| Rate | Sample rate in kHz, 4 to 48. The file is filtered down to the new rate before it is thinned, the way the converter in front of a rack sampler did, so what sat above the new ceiling goes quiet rather than folding back as metallic ringing. At 48 the file is left alone. The arrows step through the standard rates, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44 and 48; type any other number in the box. |
| Monitor | Passes the inlet through to the outputs so you hear what you are about to take. Off by default, so a Sampler already on a mixer does not double the signal. |
| Threshold | Holds an armed take until the input reaches that level, drawn as the mark over the meter. At the far left it records the moment you arm. |
