音色構成(マニュアルには Sound Architectureと記載されている)は、Bank/Performance/Channel Slots/Program/Group/Split/Wave という構成。

The bank is the complete sampler state, including settings for External Controllers, outputs and all the performances, programs and samples.

A performance is a complete active multitimbral setup, with assignment of programs to Midi channels and audio outputs. Performances are the top level items exposed to the containing DAW.

Each channel slot contains a single program and maps this to a Midi channel and an output.

A program is a complete instrument (or preset). It contains one or more groups of samples.

A group consists of one or more samples organized into splits. All splits in a group share the same sound settings and modulation mappings. A group may also override the channel slots output settings to send individual groups to specific outputs (for example when building a drum kit).

A split maps a single wave to a range on the keyboard. It also allows you to choose specific loops for sustain/release

A wave is an individual sample loaded from disk. A wave can be shared between any number of groups splits. A wave also contains such information as root key, tuning and loop points.

デフォルトではXGA(1024x768)サイズでも使えるような設定になっているようで、昨今の Full-HDクラス(1920x1080)あたりの環境だとだいぶUIのパーツが小さく使いづらい。
