5.Touch one of the tabs in the left side of the screen to access the desired editing screen.

<Edit>: Edit the sample of the specified region (p. 66)

<Loop FWD>: Specify the loop region for forward playback (p. 68)

<Loop BWD>: Specify the loop region for backward playback (p. 68)

Functions Common to All Editing Screens

“Start,” “End,” and “Current” Settings

The V-Synth uses seven terms to indicate locations within a sample. Sample Start: Beginning of the sample

Sample End: End of the sample

Loop Start, Loop End: When the Loop Play is ON, the region between these two points will be played repeatedly.

Edit Start, Edit End: Editing will affect the region between these two points.

Current: This is the currently selected location of the sample. Move the cursor to “Start,” “End,” or “Current” to select the point that you want to specify. Then specify the location by turning the VALUE dial, by using [INC/+][DEC/-], or by dragging your finger over the sample in the screen.

•The region of the sample between Edit Start and Edit End is displayed with the color inverted.

•When Current = Loop/Edit Start, moving Loop/Edit Start will cause Current to change as well.

It is not possible to move Loop/Edit Start to the right of Loop/ Edit End.

(LENGTH LOCK)

This locks the length of the region between the start point (Start) and end point (End) of the sample. It is convenient to use this when you already know the length of the sample that you need, and want to find the right region to use.

After the length has been locked, you can turn the VALUE dial, use [INC/+] [DEC/-], or drag your finger over the sample in the screen to adjust the Start and End locations while maintaining the distance between these two points.

You can also use Adjust (p. 65) or Zero Cross Search (p. 66) while the length of the sample is locked.

(LOOP)

This switches loop playback on/off. Turn this on if you want the loop region specified in the Loop FWD/BWD screen to play repeatedly.

(PREVIEW)

This plays the sample. During playback, you can touch this once again to stop playback.

(Adjust)

In the Loop FWD/BWD screen, the Adjust function moves the Loop Start, Loop End, or Current locations to the nearest of the following locations 1–5.

In edit screens, the Adjust function moves the Edit Start, Edit End, or Current locations to the nearest of the following locations 1–7.

1Sample Start location

2Sample End location

3Loop Start location

4Loop End location

5Current location

6Edit Start location

7Edit End location

Move the cursor to the point that you want to adjust (“Start,” “End,”

or “Current”), and touch or .

Touching will move the point toward the left, and touching will move it toward the right.

In the SAMPLE Encode screen (p. 69), this will move the Current location to the closest event.

For example, if you wish to touch <PREVIEW> to check whether the results of your editing were satisfactory, you can jump the current location.

In some cases nothing may happen, due to the relation between points or the Length Lock setting.
