Overview
Multisamples
Tonal Instruments
On tonal instruments, like violins or trumpets, you can play different pitches, so samples must be mapped to the corresponding keys (Instrument range). Keyswitches are used to switch between articulations.
In Pyramid, the playing range is shown in the aqua blue and keyswitches are shown in red.
Atonal Instruments
On atonal instruments, like snare drums or cymbals, you can’t play different pitches, so samples can be mapped to any key. This means a single patch can contain multiple instruments, with each of their articulations mapped to different keys.
