Editing a Sample

1.

From the SAMPLE LIST screen, Press [SAMPLE EDIT <->

LIST].

The SAMPLE EDIT screen appears.

fig.SampleEdit

Samples that you edit will be lost when you turn off the power.
If you want to keep them, you must Save them (p. 116).

Here’s how to change the magnification of the sample display.

Horizontal axis (time axis):

1/1–1/16384

Press

to increase the display magnification.

Press

to decrease the display magnification.

Vertical axis (waveform amplitude axis):

x1–x128

Hold down [SHIFT] and press

to increase the display

magnification.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press

to decrease the display

magnification.

You can specify the portion of the sample that will actually sound.
You can also specify the region that is to be looped.

1.

With the SAMPLE LIST screen shown, select the sample

that you want to edit (p. 104).

2.

Press [SAMPLE EDIT].

The SAMPLE EDIT screen appears.

3.

Use

or

to select the point that you want to set.

*

By pressing [F6 (PREVIEW)] you can audition the region between
Start and End.

4.

Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to move the point.

You’ll probably find it convenient to zoom-in when making fine
adjustments, and zoom-out when making major adjustments.

You can move the point in units of one beat by pressing

[F1 (

)] or [F2 (

)].

If you hold down [F6 (PREVIEW)] and move Start/Loop Start/
En, the sample will play repeatedly across that point. This is a
convenient way to check your setting.
(Zooming-in or zooming-out on the waveform will change the
region that loops.)

After specifying Start and End, you can execute Truncate (p.
108) to delete unwanted portions at the beginning and end of
the sample.

*

Sample modify operations (Chop, Normalize, etc.) apply to the entire
sample. Even if you specify Start or End, they will be ignored. If you
want to apply the operation only to the region between the Start and
End, use Truncate to delete unwanted portions of the sample, and then
perform the sample modifying operation.

Using the knobs to edit the points

You can use the REALTIME CONTROL knobs to edit each point.
Using the knobs is convenient when you need to make large changes
to the value.

From the left, the knobs have the following functions.

fig.15-003a

: Start Point

: Loop Start

: End Point

: Zoom-in/zoom-out the horizontal axis of the display

Here you can make various settings for the sample.

1.

With the SAMPLE LIST screen shown, select the sample

that you want to edit.

2.

Press [SAMPLE EDIT <-> LIST] to access the SAMPLE EDIT

screen.

3.

Press

or

to select a parameter.

4.
