		115).
[F2	(Sample Param)]	Make various settings for the sample (p.
		116).
[F4	(Truncate)]	Cut unwanted portions from the begin-
		ning/end of the sample (p. 117).
[F5	(Create Patch)]	Create a new patch that uses the sample
		(p. 117).

Panel buttons
[CHOP]			Divide the sample (p. 118).
[EMPHASIS]			Emphasize the sample’s upper range
			(p. 120).
[COMBINE]			Combine multiple samples into a single
			sample (p. 120).
[TIME STRETCH]			Stretch or shrink the sample to change
			the length or tempo (p. 121).
[NORMALIZE/AMP]			Boosts the level of the sample as high as
			possible (Normalize, p. 121), or boosts/

You can access the Chop–Amp screens by holding down [SHIFT]

and pressing [F1]–[F6]. Alternatively, you can select these screens by

pressing [MENU].

Sample edit operations (Chop, Normalize, etc.) apply to the entire sample. Even if you specify a start point or end point, they will be ignored.

If you want to apply the operation only to the region between the start point and end point, use Truncate to delete unwanted portions of the sample, and then perform the sample editing operation.

Zoom In/Out

Here's how to change the magnification of the sample display.

1.In the Sample Edit screen, press [F6 (Zoom In/Out)].

The Zoom In/Out sub-window will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to change the magnification of the display.

•Horizontal axis (time axis): 1/1--1/65536

Press [CURSOR (left)] to increase the display magnification. Press [CURSOR (right)] to decrease the display magnification.

*You can also use [VALUE] or [INC/DEC] to adjust this setting.

•Vertical axis (waveform amplitude axis): x1--x128

Press [CURSOR (left)] to increase the display magnification. Press [CURSOR (right)] to decrease the display magnification.

3.Press [F6 (Close)] to close the sub-window.

Even without displaying the Zoom In/Out sub-window, you can press [CURSOR (right/left) to expand/shrink the horizontal axis, or hold down [SHIFT] and press [CURSOR (up/down)] to expand/ shrink the vertical axis.
