Quick Start

Editing a Sample

Looping a Sample

Causing a sample to play repeatedly from its beginning to its end is called “looping.” The SP-606 makes it easy for you create phrases by playing phrases repeatedly in this way.

1.Go to the Play screen (p. 15).

2.Hold down [FUNC] and press pad [13] (SAMPLE PARAM) to get the SAMPLE EDIT screen.

3.Press the pad whose sample you want to edit.

If you want to edit a sample that’s in a different pad bank, switch the pad bank (p. 23) and then choose a sample to edit.

If the pad bank is protected, a lock symbol is displayed in the upper right of the screen. In this case you will not be able to edit the sample unless you turn off the Protect setting (p. 31).

4.Use [ ][ ] to move the cursor to the “Loop Sw” line.5.Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to select OFF or ON. OFF: not looped

ON: looped

If you want to make settings for other samples as well, repeat steps 3–5.

6.Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.Changing How the Sample Plays and Stops

1.Go to the Play screen (p. 15).

2.Hold down [FUNC] and press pad [13] (SAMPLE PARAM) to get the SAMPLE EDIT screen.

3.Press the pad whose sample you want to edit.

If you want to edit a sample that’s in a different pad bank, switch the pad bank (p. 23) and then choose a sample to edit.

If the pad bank is protected, a lock symbol is displayed in the upper right of the screen. In this case you will not be able to edit the sample unless you turn off the Protect setting (p. 31).

4.Use [ ][ ] to move the cursor to the “Trig Mode” line.

5.Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to select either SHOT, ALTERNATE, or GATE.

SHOT: The sample will begin playing when you press the pad, and will stop automatically when the end of the sample is reached.

If you select the SHOT setting, the Loop setting (p. 28)

is ignored; the sample will play only once. Note that if you select SHOT, you will not be able to interrupt the sound, so use this setting with caution if the sample is extremely long.

ALTERNATE: The sample will begin playing when you press the pad, and will continue playing even after you release the pad. It will stop when you press the pad once again.

GATE: The sample will begin playing when you press the pad, and will stop playing when you release the pad.

If you want to make settings for other samples as well, repeat steps 3–5.

6.Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
