Ha. Sorry for my bad memory John. Maybe something for the next firmware update.

Ah. I've just been through the videos that John made regarding sample playback. It appears that the Solaris will only do multisamples with a limit of 4. This is done by assigning each of the samples to separate osciallators. So the lowkey and hikey values really only limit the range of which a sample will play. It doesn't appear that the Solaris will do actual Multisample playback within one oscillator. Maybe a feature for a future firmware upgrade.

Hi all,

Still enjoying the new firmware and have finally come back to looking at the sample playback part of the machine.

I'd like to be able to do multi-sample playback. For those who don't know, this is where a range of keys will play a different sample from the pool. The manual says this can be done by setting the lowkey and hikey values. I have tried this with the wrong outcome. From what I can gather I need to set the sampleindex value to the same for all samples but this doesn't work. The Solaris takes the last sample on the list only. Setting the sampleindex to a unique number for each sample will simply place the sample into a separate wave parameter.

Any hints ?

Cheers,

Steve
