• over 1.1 GB of 44kHz/24 bit samples (1812 perfectly looped wav files)
• 12 midi controllable knobs for realtime tweaking and for midi automation of the most important synth parameters
• extensive editing techniques: multiple velocity layers, round-robin, alternate sample starts to achieve fat, lively and realistic analogue sounds
• exclusive IR sample collection for the convolution reverb of Kontakt

Midi implementation
The following simplified MIDI implementation chart is designed as a quick reference guide that allows you to identify at a glance which MIDI control change (CC) messages are implemented by Revolver in Kontakt.
Midi event Effect
CC 07 channel volume
CC 10 channel pan
CC 14 attack time of the filter envelope
CC 15 decay time of the filter envelope
CC 16 release time of the filter envelope
CC 18 filter envelope amount
CC 71 resonance of the internal LP filter
CC 72 release time of the amplitude envelope
CC 73 attack time of the amplitude envelope
CC 74 cutoff frequency of the internal LP filter
CC 75 decay time of the amplitude envelope
CC 76 sustain level of the amplitude envelope
CC 91 adjusts the amount of the insert FX (delay)
CC 94 adjusts the send level of the send FX
In addition, in most cases: modwheel (CC 01) controls the filter modulations, aftertouch adds vibrato effect.
