Editing a sample
1.
Make sure that [PATTERN SELECT] is extinguished. If it
is lit, press [PATTERN SELECT] to turn it off.
2.
Play the pad whose playback region you want to
adjust, making it the current pad.
3.
Press [START/END/LEVEL] so the button is lit.
4.
Use the CTRL 1 knob to adjust the start point, and the
CTRL 2 knob to adjust the end point.
5.
When you’ve finished making adjustments, press
[START/END/LEVEL] to turn off its light.
You can press the pad to produce sound even while
making adjustments.
For both the CTRL 1 and 2 knobs, turning the knob toward
the left will move the start point/end point toward the
beginning of the sound, and turning the knob toward the
right will move the point toward the end of the sound.
You can’t adjust the playback region beyond the
beginning or end of the sample.
If you decide to cancel the adjustment, return the CTRL 1
and 2 knobs to the center position so that the indication is
“0.”
The range of movement for a single operation is
approximately 130 milliseconds before or after the current
start point or end point. If you want to adjust the point by a
greater amount, repeat the same procedure.
You can’t set the start point and end point closer than
approximately 100 milliseconds.
If your adjustment results in the start point and end point
being respectively at the beginning and end of the sample,
[MARK] will go out.
If [MARK] is extinguished (i.e., if the playback region has
not been adjusted), adjusting the sample’s start point or
end point will cause [MARK] to light.
When you move the start point or end point, the sample’s
BPM (tempo) will automatically change accordingly.
However, there will be a small discrepancy in the BPM.
You can exchange samples between two pads. This lets you
bring together the desired samples into a single bank, or
move samples from internal memory to a CompactFlash
card.
If you decide to cancel this operation during the procedure,
press [CANCEL].
1.
While holding down [DEL], press [SAMPLING].
2.
The display will indicate “CHG,” and [DEL] and
[SAMPLING] will light.
3.
Press the pad for one of the samples you want to
exchange.
4.
Press the other pad.
5.
When the two pads have been pressed, [SAMPLING]
will blink.
6.
When you press [SAMPLING], the exchange will begin.
When the “CHG” indication in the display has
disappeared, the exchange is complete.
If there is not enough free memory to perform the exchange,
the display will indicate “FuL” and the exchange cannot be
performed.
Never turn off the power before the exchange has been
completed. Doing so will destroy not only the samples being
exchanged, but may also destroy other samples or the
CompactFlash card.
