There are two ways to adjust the volume of an sample
1. in the mixer window value 0-100 , 2. in the trim screen under parameter settings value 0-200, which is essential sometimes
to make sounds louder even if there at 100 in the mixer.
But: Volume-settings in trim section will not be saved when you
just overwrite the existing program. You have to save the program again
not overwrite it to maintain the trim volume settings :!:

The volume level in the TRIM screen is for the SND file, not the program.

shure, but it is stored within the program or aps-file! Any changes in trim volume setting will not be saved when you just overwrite the program, you got to store it again. it´s just a tip!

Yes, just saving the program only saves the pad settings, etc - it has no bearing on the sample specific settings, hence choose 'replace same sounds'. Easy to forget though.

Umm... no. Its stored in the Snd file. "Any changes in trim volume setting will not be saved when you just overwrite the program" did you hear yourself? "you got to store it again" as in resaving the Snd file, "replace same sounds". RTFM, ha ha ha. (chapter 9, pg. 152)

....can't get "exclamitory" wit folks who's jus correcting slight mis-information in your "tip" hommie.

ok, you´re right it´s stored in the *.snd file, but *.snd files are normally stored in *.pgm files :) just wanted to tell, that sound parameters will not be stored when just overwriting prgs you have to replace same sounds as tutor said, or store in different location

No, again. Only the name of the snd file is stored in the pgm file. Snd and pgm are two separate types of files serving two different functions.

the parameters of a soundfile like trimscreen volume and trimscreen tuning is first stored in the soundfile, but any changes on the soundfiles
made in trim section are stored when saving a program, where the soundfile is assigned to. So hard to understand? :)

"any changes on the soundfiles
made in trim section are stored when saving a program, "

No, again. Changes in the trim screen are saved when the snd file is saved. It is happenstance that you can save snd files at the same time as a program file, which you have to explicitly perform.
