Reference
The second benefit is that you can quickly and easily
create variations of the original Sample by changing the
playback of the sliced Samples.
For example, you could change the velocities and timing
points of the note events to which the sliced Samples are
assigned. This lets you create accents in the playback or
change the rhythm of the Sample to a swing feel, for
example. Furthermore, you can change the actual order of
the Sample slices (as note events), making it exceptionally
easy to come up with new and unusual sound variations.
Sampling Main display
The Sampling Main display, the entrance of the Sampling mode, is called up when entering the Sampling mode from the
current mode. Pressing the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button in the Song mode or Pattern mode calls up the Sampling
mode dedicated to creation of Sample Voices assigned to a Song/Pattern track. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the
original mode, Song or Pattern.
n This section covers the Sampling mode called up from the Song/Pattern mode. See page 162 for instructions on using the Sampling function
in the Voice mode/Performance mode.
