Editing a sampled sound

Editing the settings of an audio phrase

While an Instrument is used mainly to play individual notes, an Audio Phrase is best
suited for handling audio data of an appreciable length. For example, you might use
various audio phrases containing drum patterns and guitar chording patterns to create
the framework of your song. Since the MV-8000 lets you modify the tempo or length
of an audio phrase without affecting its pitch, the phrases will keep the correct pitch
even if you change the tempo of the sequencer.
