4. Provided that the selected sample has a reducible frequency, the screen prompts you
to select the frequency:
5. If necessary, use the dial to select the target frequency. (In many cases only one pos-
sibility exists, and the dial is disabled).
6. Press [OK] to execute the conversion.
▼ The SU700 converts the waveform. The screen displays a “processing” pattern
while processing is in progress. When processing is finished, the screen displays the
word
FINISHED .
7. You can now press the pad to listen to the sound of the converted waveform. If you
are pleased with the result, press [OK] to store the waveform into track memory,
overwriting the original waveform. If you are not pleased with the result, press
[CANCEL] to discard the result and retain the original waveform.
▼ The job terminates and the main screen appears.
Use this job to decrease the bit resolution of the waveform, from 16 bits to 8 bits.
This will produce a rougher sound that you may find more suitable for certain types
of sequences. This operation will also reduce the size of the waveform data, thereby
increasing the amount of free memory available for additional sample recording.
This job is available only on samples that have a bit resolution of 16 bits.
The bit resolution refers to the number of bits used to record each data reading. For
general information about bit resolution and about how to set it when recording a
new sample, see pages 151 and 158.
After processing the waveform, the SU700 gives you a chance to listen to the results
to determine whether you wish to keep the change. If you are not pleased with the
sound you can cancel the job and retain the original waveform.
