Is this normal? What's the purpose?

yeah, i think it's standard, mine does it too. i dont know if its just a glitch or intended. but can be pretty handy, if you want to put in an octave of piano or something you can just sample the one note then have it pitch down the rest. it can save time. and then you still have the spare 'keyboard' channel as well for whatever you want to spread across all keys.

such a shame you cant multi sample though (or whatever its called..) ie. sample three (or even 6) notes of piano (one for each octave), group them in some way so the machine knows they're to be used together. then when you go to keyboard mode, if you select any of those piano samples with dial, it spreads across all keys using the piano samples to pitch from....would make for MUCH better/truer sound, especially with things like piano etc. at the moment it pitches up way too far (why not from middle of keyboard, same amount up as down?!?) and it just sounds cheap....some synth and drum sounds are ok but everything else is a joke....strings and piano for example are useless, im having to sample in each note to a key and then running out of keys......not what i hoped i'd be doing really.....

I'd also like it if you could use velocity to control things other than just volume, like effect parameters (i'm thinking filter cutoff or overdrive) and the envelope times for example.
