In general, when you compress or expand the play-
back time, the pitch changes in proportion to the
amount of compression or expansion. For example, if
the playback time is shortened, the pitch of the sound
played back then rises. On the VS-880EX, you can
select whether the playback pitch changes in accor-
dance with the ratio of compression or expansion, or
whether the original playback pitch is preserved.
* Time Compression/Expansion creates new performance
data with a different playback time. For this reason, it
cannot be executed if there is not sufficient space on the
current drive.
* It is not possible to make Track Compression/Expansion
settings when the elapsed time from the Start Point to the
End Point or from the Start Point to the To Point is less
than 0.5 seconds.
* Do not compress data to a period of 0.5 seconds or shorter.
If it is compressed to 0.5 seconds or less, the sound will
not be played.
