Apologies if it's obvious, but when you change the Pitch, Level, Pan, Offset values from 0-100, what is it actually changing?
Say Pitch for example... is it controlling the probability of the Pitch being changed with each trigger? 100 would mean each trigger is effected/altered. Or is it controlling the depth of the Pitch? Or both?
Is it tied to any other settings? The LFO?
Official info from Akai seems sparse, all I could find was this;
'Drum and Keygroup programs now have a new randomization section. Add subtle
variation to drum samples or keygroup programs by randomizing volume, pan,
pitch, filter, sample offset and envelope parameters. On a hi-hat sample in a drum
program try adding a small amount of volume, pitch and attack randomization to
create the illusion of each note having a different hi-hat sample assigned. This is
great for making acoustic drum samples sound more realistic.'
So this still doesn't really explain what's actually happening...
