Creating and Editing Samples (Sample Mode)

Sample Editing Functions

 

Zero Insert

 

fig.04-18

 

This operation inserts silent space at the current location. It can also

 

 

 

be used to lengthen a sample to a precise number of measures and

 

 

 

beats.

 

 

 

In the SAMPLE Edit Zero Insert window, specify the length of the

 

 

 

silent region that you want to insert. This setting is made in terms of

 

 

 

a number of samples. Data in the V-Synth is handled as 44.1 kHz

 

 

 

data, meaning that one second contains 44,100 data samples.

 

 

 

 

For example, if you wish to insert one second of silence, you

 

 

 

 

would specify “44100” and execute Zero Insert.

 

 

 

 

If the amount of remaining memory is small, it may not be

 

 

 

 

possible to execute Copy, Paste, Insert, or Zero Insert. In such

 

 

 

 

cases, delete unneeded samples from memory (p. 60).

 

 

 

LR-Mix

 

 

 

The stereo sample will be mixed to L, converting it into a monaural

 

 

 

sample. If this is set to monaural, less wave memory will be used.

Cut

 

This will also decrease the number of voices.

The region of the sample between Edit Start and Edit End will be cut.

 

Trim (Trimming)

Truncate

 

If the beginning and end of the sample are values other than zero,

In the SAMPLE Edit Normalize window, specify the degree of

 

normalization that you want to use. The value is specified in terms of

You can cut, paste, and insert between different samples. After
