Editing a Sample

Boosting or Limiting the High-

frequency Range of the

Sample (Emphasis)

In some cases, the audio quality will be improved if you boost the high-
frequency range of an imported sample. Also, the high-frequency range
of the sample may be emphasized when you use a sampler made by
another manufacturer. In this case, you can minimize the change in tonal
character by attenuating the high-frequency range.

* You cannot execute this with more than one sample selected.

1. Press [SAMPLE EDIT] to access the Sample Edit screen.

2. Press [3 (Sample Modify)] to access the Sample Modify window.

3. Press [2 (Emphasis)].

4. Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC], [DEC] to select the

emphasis type.

PreEmphasis: Emphasizes the high-frequency range.

DeEmphasis: Attenuates the high-frequency range.

5. If you want to replace the current sample with the

emphasized sample, press [6 (Over Writer)] to display the

” symbol.

6. Press [8 (Exec)].

A message will ask you for confirmation.

7. To execute, press [8 (Exec)].

* To cancel, press [7 (Cancel)].

Maximizing the Volume of a

Sample (Normalize)

This operation raises the level of the entire sample as much as
possible without exceeding the maximum level. In some cases, the
volume of a phrase you resampled (p. 119) will be lower than the
volume of the original phrase. In this case, it is a good idea to boost
the volume by executing the Normalize operation.

* You cannot execute this with more than one sample selected.

1. Press [SAMPLE EDIT] to access the Sample Edit screen.

2. Press [3 (Sample Modify)] to access the Sample Modify

window.

3. Press [3 (Normalize)].
