Chapter 4. Editing a Sample

7.Press [F3] (TRUNC). A message “Truncate, Are You Sure?” will ask you whether you are sure you want to truncate (delete) the portions of the sample that are outside the specified Start and End points. To truncate the sample, press [F3 (EXEC). If you decide to cancel, press [F2] (CANCEL).

Executing the Truncate operation will conserve sample memory, increasing the sampling time that remains.

Once you execute Truncate, you cannot return to the Start and End points prior to execution.

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

Changing a Sample’s BPM (Tempo)

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

2.Hold down [FUNC] and press pad [15] (BPM SYNC) to get the BPM SYNC screen.

The number of the pad you press in step 3 is shown in the upper left of the screen.

(Example) PAD 8-1: pad bank 8, pad number 1

The lower left of the screen shows the “Play Type” (p. 50) and BPM.

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

If you want to select a sample from a different pad bank, switch the pad bank (p. 23) and then press a pad to select a sample.

You can’t edit samples of a pad bank that is protected (p. 31).

4.Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to change the “Type” setting.

5.If you want to change the BPM for a sample of a different pad, repeat steps 3 and 4.

Pads set to a setting of other than OFF in step 4 will be highlighted.

By pressing [F1] (RESET) you can set “Type” to OFF for all pads in the currently selected pad bank.

The BPM of a sample can be adjusted in a range of 0.5–1.3 times. If synchronization would cause the sample BPM to exceed this range, the sample BPM will be doubled or halved to stay within the range.

Changing the BPM may cause noise to be more noticeable.

The BPM cannot be changed if the sample is shorter than approximately 200 ms.

The BPM cannot be changed if the “Play Type” (p. 50) is SINGLE.

The BPM cannot be changed for samples set to Reverse playback (p. 50).
