Sampler functions

Select the sample to be stretched on the top line of the page, and then move down a line to

select the part of the sample that you want stretched ("

stretch zone" and "to").

When you have selected the part of the sample to be stretched, you can listen to this part

of the sample by pressing the

ZONE button. This will replay this part of the sample

stretched at the set cycle length (but only if you are using CYCLIC mode).

Since you cannot stretch a sample to itself, you must find another name for the new

sample. Use the

NAME button to enter a new sample name. You can use an existing sample

name for this (but make sure that you don't want this sample any more, or you have a

copy saved to disk).

There are two ways in which you can stretch a sample ("stretch mode") - either by picking

a fixed cycle time at which the S1000 will stretch (CYCLIC), or by allowing the S1000 to

make its own decisions as it proceeds with the stretching (INTELL). Be warned, though -

although the intelligent mode will produce better results, the time taken for this operation

is much longer than when the CYCLIC mode (up to several minutes).

If you decide to use the CYCLIC mode, you can set the cycle length (in samples) in the

Cycle length" field. The soft key autC can be used to help you find the right sample

length. As with autolooping, the S1000 applies software logic to the sample to calculate

what it believes is the right answer. Again, like autolooping, what the S1000 calculates

will often help you, but it is not always infallible.
