Sequencer P5
d: Trim Parameters
Here you can specify the various points for trimming (refer to the diagrams below).
•Sample Start and Sample End (min:sec.sample) specify the range of the recorded audio event that will actually be played back.
•Sample Start is the location where the audio event will begin playing back. This is indicated as the time from the beginning of the sound.
•Sample End is the location where the audio event will stop playing back. This is indicated as the time from the beginning of the sound.
When Sample Start or Sample End are selected (i.e., when the parameters are highlighted, you can use an audition button to playback the audio event and press the [Enter] key at the appropriate moment to input that location as the Sample Start or Sample End value (the “grab” function).
•Duration (min:sec:msec) indicates the length of the audio event that will be played back (the distance between Sample Start and Sample End). This is only displayed, and cannot be edited.
•If the Stereo Edit box is checked, selecting an audio event in one audio track of a
If you perform the Trim operation on only one of a stereo pair of tracks, phase discrepancies may occur. We recommend that you check the Stereo Edit box when trimming stereo data.
If the selected audio event is monaural, it will not be possible to check the Stereo Edit box.
•Edit Step (1, 100, 10000 samples) determines the detail (the units) with which the VALUE dial or the [▲]/[▼] keys will adjust the Sample Start or Sample End values.
Executing the trim operation
Suppose that you are trimming an audio event located at the beginning of mea- sure 5 and consisting of the phrases; “The weather is very nice today.” “Yes, it is.”
Audio event that is played back
Before trimming | The weather is | very nice today. | Yes, it is. |

If you want “very nice today” to playback at the beginning of measure 5, set Sample Start before “very” and Sample End after “nice today.”

Executing these settings will cause the audio event to playback from the speci- fied Sample Start location, and “very nice today” will playback at the beginning of measure 5.

If you once again adjust the trim duration to include “The weather is” and “Yes, it is,” the entire audio event will be played back as originally.
