UTILITY MODE / WAVE EDIT MODE / 2: Sample

SAMPLE

LoKey/HiKey

(Low and high key limits)

Range: C-2 … G8

These parameters specify the lowest and highest notes on the keyboard on

which the selected sample will sound.

If “Low” is set to “C1” and “High” is set to “C3”, for example, then the

current sample will sound only when keys between (and including) C1 and C3
are played.

Volume

Range: 0 … 127

Sets the volume of the selected sample. A setting of “0” produces minimum

volume (almost no sound), and a setting of “127” produces maximum volume.

Use this parameter to balance the levels of the different samples used in a

waveform.

Pitch

Range: -5376 … +5334

Fine-tunes the pitch of the selected range over a wide range. Minus (–)

settings decrease the pitch of the sample while plus (+) settings raise the pitch
of the sample. Each increment corresponds to a pitch change of approximately
1.7 cents (a “cent” is one-hundredth of a semitone).

Loop

Range: FOn, FLp, BOn, BLp

Selects the type of loop to be used for playback of the selected sample. The

settings are:

FOn = Forward one-shot. The sample is played in the normal forward

direction and is not looped (i.e. the sound stops a the end of the
sample).

FLp = Forward loop. The sample is played in the normal forward direction

and is looped (repeated) as long as the key is held.

BOn = Backward one-shot. The sample is played backward and is not

looped (i.e. the sound stops at the beginning of the sample).

BLp = Backward loop. The sample is played backward and is looped (re-

peated) as long as the key is held.
