Changing the Sample Parameters:
Changing the sample parameters allows you to change the sample's volume and pitch. The param-
eters 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 basically a speed adjustment and has nothing to do with 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:
BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)
Figure 28
Figure 29
Figure 30
Changing the Sample Parameters - Speed
While a sample is playing push the PARAMETERS TIME BUTTON (1). One
tap will display
SP +0 00 in the LCD DISPLAY (19). SP will signify the pitch
percentage (speed) of the sample. +0 00 is your default setting - Normal
playback. Any adjustments will be based on this default setting. Turning the
knob in a clockwise direction will increase your pitch. Turning the wheel in
a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the parameters value.
Changing the Sample Parameters - Hold Function
Hold Function - This mode will allow you to save and lock your parameter
adjustments, if the hold function is not activated all your parameter adjust-
ments will be momentary. If you select the HOLD BUTTON (2) all param-
eters will remain until changed again or power is shut off, unless they are
stored in to the unit's memory.
Changing the Sample Parameters - Volume
While a sample is playing push the PARAMETERS RATIO BUTTON (3).
One tap will display
SV 10 00 in the LCD DISPLAY (19). SV will signify the
volume of the sample. 10 00 is your default setting - Normal playback. Any
adjustments will be based on this default setting. Turning the knob in a
clockwise direction will increase the volume. Turning the wheel in a counter-
clockwise direction will decrease the parameters value.
