Editing a sample
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 the
current pad.
2.
Press [TIME/BPM] so the button is lit.
3.
Turn the CTRL 2 (BPM) knob to change the BPM value.
Turn the knob toward the left if you want to halve the
displayed value, or toward the right if you want to
double it.
4.
When you’ve made the change, press [TIME/BPM]
once again to turn off the button’s light.
While you’re performing this operation, the CTRL 1 knob will
perform the Time Modify function. Be careful not to change it
inadvertently.
If you want to consecutively play samples of differing tempo,
you can use the Time Modify function to create natural-
sounding transitions so that the tempo is not interrupted.
If you’ve specified Reverse Playback(p. 15), the Time Modify
setting is disabled, and the effect won’t be obtained. If you
want to use Time Modify, you must turn off Reverse Playback.
1.
Play the pad that you want to change, making it the
current pad.
2.
Press [TIME/MODIFY] so the button is lit.
3.
Turn the CTRL 1 (TIME) knob to change the length. The
display will indicate the sample length in terms of the
BPM.
4.
When you’ve finished making the change, press [TIME/
BPM] once again to turn off the button’s light.
Turning the CTRL 1 (TIME) knob all the way to the left will turn
Time Modify off, 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 specified
Time Modify may sound quavery or noisy.
