4. Make sure that the cursor is located at the “Type” row, and turn the TIME/
VALUE dial to set “AUTO.”
Values of “AUTO 0.5,” “AUTO 1.0,” “AUTO 1.5,” and “AUTO 2.0” specify the
length (in seconds) of the silent portion that are the standard for dividing the sample.
For example, if you set this to “AUTO 1.0,” silent portions longer than one second
are the boundaries of the divided samples.

Dividing destinations when “AUTO” is used
• The divided samples are assigned successively, starting with the pad you specified
for “TO.” Pads that already contain a sample are skipped.
• If there are not enough vacant pads for all of the divided samples, a message of
“PADs are Full. Use Next Bank?” appears. If you press [YES/ENTER], the process
of division continues with the next pad bank. If you press [NO/EXIT], all of the
remaining samples are written to the last pad as a single sample.
If you turn “Trim” on, the
b
eginning of the next sample
are set to the point at which
the volume first rises from
silence to exceed the
“Threshold.” By setting
“Threshold” to the desired
level, you can cause the sample
to be divided automatically,
according to the level you
specify.
If you want only the results of
the division to be neatly
arranged in the pad bank,
select pad [1] of the pad bank
as the destination.
