Instrument
A multisample INSTRUMENT — load a recording and play it across the keyboard, POLYPHONICALLY, each note pitched from the sample (a relative of the Sampler, but note-driven + chordable). Wire a note source (Keyboard / MIDI In / Piano Roll) into its Notes input and a sample into Sample (a File Input, or a recorded take); set Root to the sample's true pitch so notes track. Each held note spawns its own voice (a buffer source), so chords ring — it manages its own polyphony, so the note source's Polyphony dial doesn't apply. Drop the Instrument rig for a pre-wired playable setup. (One sample now; per-pitch zones across the range are the next slice.)
