Editing a Sample
Editing a Sample
Setting the Start/End Points of
the Sample
You can specify the portion of the sample that will actually sound.
You can also specify the region that is to be looped.
1. Press [SAMPLE LIST] and select the sample that you want to
edit (p. 122).
2. Press [SAMPLE EDIT].
fig.SMPL12_50
* For details on how to select a sample, refer to Sample List (p. 122).
3. Use or to select the point that you want to set.
• Start Point:
This is the point at which playback will start. Set this so that any
unwanted portion at the beginning of the sample will be
skipped, and the sound will begin at the desired moment.
• Loop Start:
This is the point at which loop playback (second and subsequent
times) will start. Set this if you want to loop the sound from a
point other than the start point.
• End Point:
This is the point at which playback will end. Set this so that any
unwanted portion at the end of the sample will not be heard.
4. Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC], [DEC] to move the
point so it’s where you want it to be.
You’ll probably find it convenient to zoom-in when making fine
adjustments, and zoom-out when making major adjustments (p.
124).
You can move the point in units of one beat by pressing [4 (⇒)]
or [5 (⇐)]. You can press [8 (Preview)] to audition the selected
sample.
The preset samples cannot be moved by beat.
After specifying the start point and end point, you can execute
Truncate (p. 129) 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 a start point or end point, they
will be ignored. If you want to apply the operation only to the
region between the start point and end point, use Truncate to
delete unwanted portions of the sample, and then perform the
sample modifying operation.
Making Settings for Sample
(Sample Parameters)
Here you can make various settings for the sample.
1. Press [SAMPLE LIST] and select the sample that you want to
edit (p. 122).
2. Press [SAMPLE EDIT] to access the Sample Edit screen, and
press [2 (Sample Param)].

After the Sample played back from the Start point to the End
point, it will then be repeatedly played back in the forward
direction, from the Loop Start point to the End point.

About the beat
Samples contain beat data. Up to 100 beat locations are specified
for one sample. If the sample contains more than 100 beats, fifty
beat locations will be specified from the beginning and end of
the sample, respectively.
* The preset samples do not contain beat data.
When you want to reset the beat
indication. (Reset Grid function)
You can have the sample grid (beat indication) be recalculated
based on a specified start point and BPM. To do this, go to the
Sample Edit screen, set the Sample Start Point, set the BPM in
the Sample Prm screen, press [5 (Reset Grid)], then press [8
(Exec)].
