Sampler functions
JOIN
This page (accessed by pressing the
JOIN button from the TRIM page) allows cutting,
mixing or joining samples or parts of samples to each other. If the mood takes you, it is
possible to join a chord from a Beethoven symphony onto the end of a reversed cymbal
sample. Other, more practical, examples will no doubt suggest themselves.
The samples to be joined together are known here as A and B, and the resulting JOINed
sample is called J. Though A and B can be the same sample, the resulting (J) sample
cannot be the same as either A or B. Press
NAME to enter a new sample name for J.
Existing samples can be overwritten and therefore can be used for J.
As mentioned earlier, this page has three basic functions: to copy a part of a sample to
another sample
(A->J ), to splice a sample (or part of a sample) to another sample .(SPLI) or
to mix two samples (or parts of samples) together
(MIX ). In addition, other pages can be
accessed using the other soft keys (
SLCT, TRIM, LOOP and ED.2 ).
The principles behind these three operations are similar, and so the operations common
to all of them will be described together.
Select the A and B samples, using the DATA knob or the +/< and -/>) buttons. You must
then choose a name for the J sample. This can either be the name of an existing,
unwanted sample, or you can enter a new name using the
NAME button.
Now you should select the portions of the A and B samples which are to be combined ("
first" and "last "). You may want to splice the attack portion of A to the sustain
portion of B, or mix parts of two samples together. If you want to hear exactly what part
of a sample you are going to use, you can set the first and last points of A, and then press
A->J so that only the relevant part of A will be played when you press the ENT/PLAY button
(you can overwrite J later, and you've done no permanent damage to A if you get things
wrong).
Notice how the figures at the bottom alter as the lengths of samples A and B are
changed. The figure before the "spli" is the total length of the selected portions of the
two samples (minus the X-fade length -- see below), and the figure before the "mix" is
the length of the longest sample portion to be included.
X-fade over To avoid a sharp break in sounds when you splice (SPLI) them together, one
sound can be faded into another for a certain number of samples. The crossfading will
start before the "last" point of A, the time at which crossfading starts depending on the
number of samples set in this field. Crossfading has no effect, of course, on mixing
samples together.
