Editing the sample parameters (Sample Edit)
■ Playback mode
The Playback mode selects how the sample will be played. If you want to use legato (*) playing to play
a melody different than the original sample, choose
“Time Sync.” If you want the sample to play back
from the beginning each time you press a key, choose “Retrigger.”
* “Legato” originally means to “play smoothly,” but here it refers to the technique of playing the next key
(note-on) before releasing the previous key (note-off) so that the sound is never halted.
Values:
Default setting:
If you set a (Groove Map) sample to anything other than "Retrigger," the sound will be
interrupted and will not play back correctly.
If you set a (Phrase Map) sample to anything other than “Time Sync,” you cannot play
legato.
Retrigger:
Each time you press a key, the sam-
ple will play back from the begin-
ning. This will produce an effect
like a musical “round.”
Time Sync:
● Key Assign: Poly
When you play legato, the play-
back point (of the newly played
sounds) will be synchronized to
the sound that is playing from the
beginning. As shown in the dia-
gram, you can produce chords
even in the middle of a phrase.
● Key Assign: Solo
If you set the Key Assign mode to
SOLO and play legato, the pitch
will change starting at the play-
back point of the previously
played note. You can play your
keyboard to produce a melody that
is completely different than the
original phrase.
Step: Each time you play a key, the sample will play to the next event (p. 61) and then stop.
