$Text Box: Points of Note: Rotary Controls and Sliders Clicking on a label above a rotary control or slider will automatically return it to its default position. Pitch Shift The Pitch Shift entry has changed since version 1.1 and is now calibrated to an Semi-tone, that is to say, that a 1-semi-tone shift is equal to 1.000; a 2- semi-tone shift would be 2.000 and so on. To enter lower values, type a minus symbol before the required value. E.g. –2.000 = two semi-tones below normal pitch. Clicking on the pitch shift label above the entry box returns it to its default value (0.000) Envelope Release Rate A player with an envelope set with a long release rate will ignore a MIDI note on message during the envelopes release phase. If you find that a player is not triggering or missing notes during a sequence, either reduce the release rate of the players envelope or shorten the MIDI note on message being sent from the host program. Reducing CPU Load If envelope processing is not required for a loaded wave file, set the player’s envelope attack, decay, sustain and release controls to their default position. This will ensure the envelope is using the least CPU power and also prevent clicks on ‘note off’. The filters add the most load, so make sure a player is not patched to a filter if it doesn’t need to be. Lastly, the peak meters also increase the CPU load, so switch them off when not required. Looping Limitations Sam! takes no account of the actual number of samples in a wave file, this can lead to synchronisation problems if two or more files with the same quoted BPM, but a different number of samples within the file are looped over a period of time. Possible solutions to this problem are altering the ‘Pitch’ a fraction, adjusting the play length using the ‘Fine Position’ sliders or just retriggering the sample every so often. Compatibility Sam 1.3 is fully compatible with 1.2 patch files.$
