Editing a sample

Deleting unnecessary portions of a sample (Truncate)

by a partial or audio phrase, you can reduce the amount of space occupied by the data, and use memory more
efficiently.

Select “Truncate” and press [F5](Select).

The TRUNCATE popup (Screen Guide; p. 136) will appear.

The Truncate operation will apply to the region between the beginning of the sample and Start Point, End Point
and end of the sample.

sound. Refer to “If the following message appears during truncation” (p. 126).
