Creating and Editing Samples (Sample Mode)
Original Tempo Setting
The Original Tempo is the reference tempo of the sample used when
synchronizing it to the master tempo.
Example: A sample whose original tempo is 100
If the master tempo is set to 200 and the sample is synchronized, the
sample will play back at double the speed at which it was recorded.
If you set the master tempo to 50 and synchronize the sample, it will
play back at half the speed at which it was
fig.04-15_50
The exact original tempo can be calculated from the time signature,
number of measures, and number of beats for the sample length
between Loop Start and Loop End. This means that you must first
specify the loop region, and then set the original tempo.
If you wish to play back a loop while simultaneously
synchronizing another sample, you must specify the correct
original tempo. If you fail to do this, the sounds will drift out of
synchronization.
1. Move the cursor to the item that you wish to set.
2. Either turn the VALUE dial or press [INC/+][DEC/-] to set the
“Sign” (time signature), “Meas” (measure), and Beat values.
3. Touch .
The precise tempo will be displayed at the right of the “->.” The
tempo displayed here is the original tempo.
You can also move the cursor to the original tempo, and set it by
rotating the VALUE dial or by using [INC/+][DEC/-].
Converting the Sample to V-
Synth Data (Encode)
After you have finished editing the sample, you should encode it. By
using the encoding that is appropriate for the sample, you’ll be able
to maintain a higher quality of audio while controlling the pitch,
time, and formant.
The factory-set waves (preset waves) cannot be encoded.
Displaying the Encode Screen
Samples whose wave is too short (0.1 sec or less) cannot be
encoded, and the SAMPLE Encode screen cannot be accessed for
such samples.
1. Press [MODE].
The V-SYNTH MODE MENU window appears.

2. Touch <SAMPLE>.
The SAMPLE Top screen appears.

3. Select the sample number that you wish to encode.
For details on how to select a sample, refer to “Sampling
Procedure” (p. 56).
