Sampling and editing in Sampling mode
137
As an example, set “ (Tempo)” to 100. Notice that
the pitch does not change when you play back at a
different tempo.
If the beat of the original rhythm loop sample is not
reproduced correctly when you change the tempo,
or if obtrusive noise is heard, this is because the
sample was not sliced appropriately in step 4. The
way in which the percussion instrument sounds
were divided will have a major impact on the
quality of the playback when the tempo is changed.
You will need to adjust the way in which the
samples are divided in step 4.
The silence between samples may become obtrusive
if you play back at a slower tempo, or noise may
occur between samples if you play back at a faster
tempo. To avoid such problems, you can set Stretch
“New BPM” or “Ratio” in step 5 to the tempo at
which you want to play back, and execute time
stretch to adjust the length of each sample. For more
information, see “Time Stretch” on page 634 of the
Parameter Guide.
8. In “Song Select,” choose 001.
The following song data has been set/created
automatically as you specified in step 5.
• P0: Play/REC page
Song: 001, Meter: 4/4, Tempo: 112, RPPR: On
• P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer page
Track01 Program: as desired (U-B001)
• P5: Pattern/RPPR, RPPR Setup page
Key: C#2, Assign: On,
Pattern: User, U00, Track: Track01
Pattern data: 1 measure (D2–)
In the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer
page, press the C#2 key. The RPPR function will
begin playing pattern U00.
In the P5: Pattern/RPPR, Pattern Edit page, press
the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to start
playback of pattern U00.
When you press the C#2 key in the P5:
Pattern/RPPR, RPPR Setup page, the RPPR
function will start playing pattern U00.
In the same way as in step 7, changing the playback
tempo will not affect the pitch.
Sample (waveform data) editing –
P1: Sample Edit
Editing the waveform data.
In the P1: Sample Edit screen you can do the following
things.
• You can set the Edit Range “Start” and “End” while
watching the waveform. You can use functions
such as Zoom In/Out, Use Zero, and Grid to edit
the waveform efficiently.
• You can edit the sample waveform using a variety
of commands such as cut, copy, mix, insert,
normalize, volume ramp, and reverse.
• A Rate Convert function lets you lower the
sampling frequency of the sample data in a range of
2/3 to 1/6, producing “down-sampled” effects.
• The Link function (Link: with crossfade) lets you
connect two samples into one. When doing so, you
can apply a crossfade so that the sustained portion
of the samples will change gradually to create a
natural transition between the two samples.
1. Select the sample that you wish to edit.
Use “Sample Select” or “Index” in the P1: Sample
Edit page or the P0: Recording, Recording page to
select the sample.
If you use “Sample Select” to select the sample, be
aware that the index assignment will also change.
2. Select the P1: Sample Edit page.
