Sample Edit

Emphasis

In some cases, the audio quality will be improved if you boost the high-frequency range of an imported sample. Also, the high- frequency range of the sample may be emphasized when you use a sampler made by another manufacturer. In this case, you can minimize the change in tonal character by attenuating the high- frequency range.

1.Press [EMPHASIS].

Alternatively, hold down [SHIFT] and press [F2 (Emphasis)].

2.Press [F1 (Sample List)] and select a sample.

3.Use [VALUE] or [INC/DEC] to select the emphasis type.

PreEmphasis: Emphasizes the high-frequency range.

DeEmphasis: Attenuates the high-frequency range.

4.If you want to replace the current sample with the emphasized sample, press [F4 (Over Write)] to display the “✔” symbol.

5.Press [F6 (Execute)].

A message will ask you for confirmation.

6.To execute, press [F6 (Execute)].

*To cancel, press [F5 (Cancel)].
