1.2.1 The Pitch
The pitch of the sound is automatically detected by Typhoon during sampling, but you can also
manually set it to another value. Some sounds are pitchless by their nature and these can be
specially treated as pitchless sounds by setting their pitch to \none." The correct pitch will
always be played provided the pitch information in the wave of the sampled data is correct.
1.2.2 The Loop
The \loop" is an area of the wave that is continuously repeated until the wave stops playing. Unlike
many other popular sampling synthesizers today, the TX16W does not support looping between
two specic points; instead the loop is always an area at the end of the wave (see Fig. 1.5).

1.2.3 Stereo Waves
Stereo waves are treated and edited as single waves in Typhoon; there are no separate \left" and
\right" waves for the left and the right speakers. The preference to treat stereo waves as single
waves is well grounded when stereo waves are edited. For example, if a stereo wave is to be looped
you do not have to independently loop two separate waves.
