Waveform display field (lower)
According to the field in which the cursor is located, this area displays the waveform
before and after the start point, before and after the end point, or before and after the loop
start/loop end points.
A Display field
Indicates the point that is shown in the waveform display field (lower).
By holding down the [SHIFT] key and using the BLOCK CURSOR [
π
]/[
] keys, you
can zoom-in/zoom-out on the waveform display field (lower).
Making various settings for a sample
Here’s how to select a sample, and set its start/end points and loop start/loop end points.
1. In the Trim/Loop page, move the cursor to the sample field and turn the [JOG]
dial to select the sample that you want to edit.
2. Move the cursor to the
Monitor field
and turn the [JOG] dial to select “SAMPLE.”
3. Move the cursor to the Play mode field, and select one of the following to
specify how the sample will play.
NO LOOP ..............Looping will not be used. The sample will play from the start point
to the end point. If you release the pad (note) during this time, the
playback will stop there.
LOOP .....................When you press the pad (note), the sample will begin playing from
the start point. As long as you holding down the pad (note), the sam-
ple will play back repeatedly from the loop start to the loop end.
ONE SHOT ............When you press the pad (note) once, the sample will play from the
start point to the end point.
4. Move the cursor to the Start field, and specify the start point of the sample.
You can edit the value of the start point by turning the [JOG] dial or by using the numeric
keys to directly input a number of samples and then pressing the [ENTER] key.
5. Strike a pad (or play a MIDI keyboard connected to the [MIDI IN] connector)
to check the start point that you specified.
When you strike pads 1–12 or 16, the sample will begin playing from the start point. In
the Trim/Loop page, the function of pads 13–15 will change as follows.
Pad 13 (PLAY LOOP)...... The loop region will play while you hold down the pad. If you
hold down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 13, playback will
continue even after you release the pad. (To stop playback,
press the pad once again or press the [SHIFT] key.)
Pad 14 (PLAY TO)........... The sample will play from slightly earlier than the currently
selected location, and stop at the currently selected location.
Pad 15 (PLAY FROM)..... The sample will play from the currently selected location, and
stop slightly later.
6. Move the cursor to the numerical value of the END field, and specify the end
point of the sample in the same way.
Hint: By holding down the [SHIFT] key and pressing the BLOCK CURSOR [
] key, you can magnify
the waveform display (lower) near the start point.
