Changing a Sample’s BPM
A sample’s BPM (tempo) is automatically determined by
the length between the sample’s start point and end point.
However, depending on this length, the calculated BPM
value may be half or double the actual BPM. In this case,
you can correct the BPM as follows.
1. Play.the.pad.that.you.want.to.change,.making.it.

2. Press.the.[TIME/BPM].button.so.the.button.is.lit.

MEMO
While you’re performing this operation, the [CTRL 1]
knob will perform the Time Modify function. Be careful
not to change it inadvertently.
Changing the Length of a Sample without Changing the Pitch (Time Modify)
If you want to consecutively play samples of diering
tempo, you can use the Time Modify function to create
natural-sounding transitions so that the tempo is not
interrupted.
If you’ve specied Reverse Playback (p. 12), the Time Modify
setting is disabled, and the eect won’t be obtained. If
you want to use Time Modify, you must turn o Reverse
Playback.

MEMO
• Turning the [CTRL 1] (TIME) knob all the way to the left
will turn Time Modify o, so that the sample will play at
its original length (The display will indicate “oFF.”)
• Turning the [CTRL 1] (TIME) knob all the way to the
right will cause the sample to play at the tempo of the
pattern (The display will indicate “Ptn.”)
• The BPM can be adjusted to any value from half to
approximately 1.3 times the original BPM. However, the
BPM must fall within the 40–200 range.
• If Time Modify is set to “Ptn,” the tempo of the sample
will change according to the pattern’s tempo within
a range of between half and approximately 1.3 times
the sample’s original BPM. If the pattern’s tempo is set
outside this range, the sample’s tempo is limited to the
maximum value (200) or minimum value (40).
• Please be aware that a sample for which you’ve
specied Time Modify may sound quavery or noisy.
Deleting All Samples
Here’s how to delete the samples of all banks in a single
operation.
MEMO
If you want to delete only one or several samples, refer
to “Deleting a Sample” (p. 21).
1. Make.sure.that.the.[PATTERN.SELECT].button.is.
extinguished.
If it is lit, press the [PATTERN SELECT] button to turn it o.
2. While.holding.down.the.[CANCEL].button,.press.
the.[DEL].button.
The display will indicate “dAL,” and the [DEL] button will
light. The [BANK] buttons will blink.
3. Press.one.of.the.[BANK].buttons.
MEMO
• If you specify a bank that is protected (p. 38), the display
will indicate “Prt” (Protected), and you won’t be able
to delete anything.
• If you decide to cancel the operation at this point, press
the [CANCEL] button.
4. Press.the.[DEL].button.
When the deletion is complete, the “dAL” indication in the
display will disappear.
NOTE
Never turn o the power before the deletion is
complete. Doing so will destroy the SD card.
