Procedure for Dividing a Sample
You can freely specify the dividing point(s).
1.
Press
or
to move the cursor to “Current Address.”
2.
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to move the point.
3.
At the location where you want to divide the sample, press
[F2 (ADD)].
The current location will be the dividing point.
4.
Repeat steps
2
and
3
to specify other dividing points.
You can specify up to 15 dividing points; i.e., the sample will be
divided into a maximum of 16 pieces.
