Sample Editing Functions
fig.04-18
Cut
The region of the sample between Edit Start and Edit End will be cut.
Truncate
The region of the sample between Edit Start and Edit End will be
kept, and the remainder of the sample will be deleted.
Copy
The sample between Edit Start and Edit End will be copied.
Clear
The sample between Edit Start and Edit End will be set to values of
zero.
Paste
The copied data will be overwritten, beginning at the current
location.
If there is any sample data following the current location, it will
be lost as far as the pasted portion extends.
Insert
The copied data will be inserted at the current location.
You can cut, paste, and insert between different samples. After
copying, press [EXIT] to return to the SAMPLE Top screen.
Select a different sample, access the SAMPLE Edit screen, and
then paste or insert.
Zero Insert
This operation inserts silent space at the current location. It can also
be used to lengthen a sample to a precise number of measures and
beats.
In the SAMPLE Edit Zero Insert window, specify the length of the
silent region that you want to insert. This setting is made in terms of
a number of samples. Data in the V-Synth is handled as 44.1 kHz
data, meaning that one second contains 44,100 data samples.
For example, if you wish to insert one second of silence, you
would specify “44100” and execute Zero Insert.
If the amount of remaining memory is small, it may not be
possible to execute Copy, Paste, Insert, or Zero Insert. In such
cases, delete unneeded samples from memory (p. 60).
LR-Mix
The stereo sample will be mixed to L, converting it into a monaural
sample. If this is set to monaural, less wave memory will be used.
This will also decrease the number of voices.
Trim (Trimming)
If the beginning and end of the sample are values other than zero,
noise will be heard when you play the sample. Trim sets the values
at the beginning and end of the sample to zero.
In the SAMPLE Edit Trim window, specify the length that you want
to trim. This setting is made in terms of a number of samples. Data in
the V-Synth is handled as 44.1 kHz data, meaning that one second
contains 44,100 data samples.
For example, trimming at 100 samples. This will connect the first
data sample and the one hundredth data sample by a smooth
line of one hundred points. Similarly, the last data sample and
the data sample one hundred samples before it will be connected
by a smooth line of one hundred points.
Normalize
The Normalize operation is used to uniformly increase or decrease
the level of the entire sample without allowing it to distort. This is
used when you wish to make the volume consistent with other
samples.
In the SAMPLE Edit Normalize window, specify the degree of
normalization that you want to use. The value is specified in terms of
a percentage.
For example, let’s suppose that 100 is the maximum volume at
which the volume does not distort. Executing the Normal
operation at a setting of 90% will make the maximum value of
the sample be 90.
