NOTE:
You can also listen to the both loop tracks together by starting the sequencer (by pressing
).You may want to try this to get an idea of how the loops sound when playing to-
gether. But remember that you must stop the sequencer before you can proceed to edit
the sample length.
2. Now use the SAMPLE | START POINT and SAMPLE | END POINT jobs to adjust the
playback range (the length) of the LOOP 2 sample. (Again, you can find full details
about these jobs on page 258.) After completing the adjustment, press [OK] to return
to the main screen.
■ Matching the LOOP 1 and LOOP 2 tracks
Press the sequencer button, and LOOP 1 (drum) and LOOP 2 (bass) samples will
playback as loops. Now we will set the tempo (BPM) and the volume balance, and
adjust the groove so that the drum and bass match.
● Setting the Tempo (BPM)
The samples for this song have been designed to be played back at BPM=172.0
Start the sequencer in PLAY mode (press the button). While listening to both
loops play, press the [BPM] button, and turn the dial to adjust the BPM. Set the BPM
value to
172.0 .

● Setting the Loop Lengths
If LOOP 1 and LOOP 2 sound different than the finished example on the included au-
dio CD, use TRACK SET/SETUP/LOOP LENGTH (
→
p.238) to check the loop length
of the sample.
