DIGITAL SAMPLING

The DJX also features some simple but powerful sample editing tools.
These include setting the end point for a sample, and creating sample
loops.

Setting the End Point

In this section, you’ll learn how to set the end point of a recorded sample.
The end point determines how much of a sample is played back each time
you press a key. Three different resolutions — Coarse, Mid, and Fine — are
provided to let you move around within the sample data when searching
for the desired or best end point.

Keep in mind that setting
the end point to a position
earlier than the actual end
of the sample does not
change the actual length of
the sample or delete any of
the sample’s data — it
simply changes how the
sample plays back.

3 Select the desired sample (wave). (Play any key in the sample’s range.)
