Editing the sample of a pad
Editing the sample of a pad
Expanding/compressing by a specified percentage or
tempo—Time Stretch
Since this function needs to accurately calculate the tempo in order to perform a
high-quality compression or expansion,
you must first perform the procedure of
“Displaying the correct tempo of a sample” (p. 77) to specify the number of
beats in the original sample.
In the case of samples for which it is difficult to calculate a tempo, such as a
narration, vocal part, or a long sustained sound, set the number of beats to 0.
1. Press PAD RECORDING [TEMPO MATCH] twice.
Alternatively, press [TEMPO MATCH] and then press CURSOR [ ].

Stretch icon.
3. Press [YES/ENTER].
fig.33-08
The Time Stretch screen appears.
4. Use CURSOR [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] to select the pad bank number and pad
number for each item, and specify the desired number for each.
To set the pad bank number, turn the TIME/VALUE dial. To set the pad number,
either press a pad or turn the TIME/VALUE dial.
Source: Specify the sample you wish to expand/compress sample.
To: Specify the pad to which the expanded/compressed sample is assigned. (*)
* If the destination pad already has a sample, a message of “Overwrite?” appears. If it is OK to
overwrite the existing sample, press [YES/ENTER].
5. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “Ratio.”
Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to specify the expansion/compression in a range of
50.0–150.0%.
A setting of 100.0% is the same as the original length.
* By selecting and setting “New BPM” (new tempo) in the line below, you can specify the
expansion/compression in terms of the new tempo. The Ratio and New BPM values
always changes simultaneously.
6. When you have finished making the settings, press [YES/ENTER].
After a time, the expanded/compressed sample is assigned to the destination pad.
7. Press [DISPLAY] to return to the Basic screen.
Compression/expansion
(Stretch) requires more
processing time than other
sample editing operations.
Also, the audio quality of the
stretched sample may be
inferior to that of the original
sample.
