Sampler functions

lgth: (length) The actual length of the looped portion (as opposed to the length of time

that the loop will repeat) is set in the next field. As you adjust this parameter and the

at:" parameter, you will see two vertical lines move in the left part of the display,

giving the approximate position of the start and end points of the loop.

Xfd: This field determines the number of samples which will be cross-faded when the

X-

FD button is pressed (see below).

FIND This button starts an "autolooping" process within the S1000. It takes the length

setting previously made, and starts counting down from this value every time the button

is pressed, attempting to find a loop point automatically. However, since the S1000 is a

computer, it's better at logical rather than intuitive or creative thinking, and the loop

points that it finds may not correspond to the loop points you actually want. For all these

limitations, it can save you a lot of time.

X-FD This button can help "hide the seams" in loop points. When a value is set in the "xf

d : " field, the S1000 will start fading out the main body of the sound and fading in the

loop portion. The number set in the field determines the point at which this crossfading

will start.

NOTE: Pressing the x-FD button will permanently alter the sample. It's probably

a good idea to press this button only if you have a copy already stored on disk.

For ordinary looping procedures (creating artificial sustain portions of a sample),

usually one loop point will be sufficient. The trick here is to find a looping point which

follows some of the basic rules below:

Try to match up levels between looped portions and samples (zero crossing points), so

that there are no sudden "glitch" points. The

FIND button will help you with this.
