Changing the Sample Parameters:
Changing the sample parameters allows you to change the sample's volume and pitch. The
parameters values for both the pitch and volume settings range from 00:00 to 20:00, 00:00 being the
lowest value. A higher value will increase the pitch percentage or volume. It's important to understand
that the pitch value is basic a speed adjustment and has nothing to do tonal quality. The values can
be either a momentary change or set adjustment. The sample values are changed in three easy
steps, while in sample playback mode:

Changing the Sample Parameters - Step 1:
While a sample is playing tap the PARAMETERS BUTTON (28). One tap
will display
SP 10 00 in the LCD DISPLAY (1). If you tap the PARAMETERS
BUTTON (28) again, SV 10 00 will read out in the LCD DISPLAY (1). SP
will signify the pitch percentage and SV will signify the sample volume.
10 00 is your default setting - Normal playback. Any adjustments will be
based on this default setting.
Changing the Sample Parameters - Step 3:
Use the JOG WHEEL (14) to change your selected parameters. Turning
the wheel in a clockwise rotation will increase your parameters - this will
wither increase the volume or increase the pitch. Turning the wheel in
counter-clockwise direction will decrease the parameters value - either
decreasing the volume or decreasing the pitch. If you turn the HOLD
BUTTON (2) in the previous step, you would turn the hold function off
to save your settings.
Changing the Sample Parameters - Step 2:
Hold Function - This mode will allow you to save and lock your parameter
adjustments, if the hold function is not activated all your parameter
adjustments will be momentary. Once you are in the parameters mode you
can begin to make your adjustments.
