About the Unit of the Sample Playback Parameters
If you change the following sample playback
parameters using the Data Dial or [INC]/[DEC]
keys, it may take some time for you since the
parameter value is too large. In such cases, press
[F1]: KNx*(Knob x Unit) to change the unit to 10,
100, 1000 or 10000 and use the related knobs to
adjust the values. For example, use the unit of 1000
to roughly search the figure and use the unit of 10
or 1 to finely determine the position or length.

■ Wave Start
Sets the Start point for the sample playback. As seen
in the next diagram, the Start point can be set to
remove unwanted noise that exists before that point
in the sample.
❏ Settings: Differs depending on the sample length
■ Loop Top
Sets the Top point of the loop playback (the point
where the loop begins) within the range of the entire
sample. For example, when setting a loop for the
sustained sound of a violin, the Top and End point is
usually set after the attack portion of the sound. In
this way, the sample playback begins from the attack
portion which determines the characteristics of the
violin, and repeats basically the same sustained
portion of the sound. For the sounds which don’t
have distinctive attack portion, you can leave this
parameter the same as the Start point.
❏ Settings: Differs depending on the sample length
■ Loop Length
Displays and sets the length from the Top point to
the End point. As this value moves, the End point
value will increase or decrease accordingly.
