Automatically Detecting Events

By specifying the Depth, you can automatically detect and “▼”mark locations where there is a strong attack (i.e., locations where the volume changes abruptly). Such marked locations are called events.

Depth (Encode Depth)

In the SAMPLE Encode screen, move the cursor to “Depth” and set the value. The higher the value you set, the more events will be assigned.

fig.04-23_50

Value: 0–127

If the Playback Mode (p. 43) is “STEP,” the sample will play to the next event, and then stop each time you play the key. When the Playback Mode is set to “EVENT,” the sample will be divided at event locations, and assigned to each key.

•If you set Depth to a high value, a large number of events may be detected. If you encode in such a state, the interval between events will be too short, and the expected result will not be obtained when you play back in event units.

•If you change the location of an event after encoding, you must re-encode the sample. When you encode, the newly detected event locations will take effect.

Deleting and Adding Events

Setting the Encode Depth and automatically detecting events does not guarantee that the events will be added at the locations that you expect. If necessary, you can delete or add events as you like.

In the SAMPLE Encode screen, you can touch <PREVIEW> to play the sample from the current location until the next event. By touching <PREVIEW>, you can play the sample to see whether events have been assigned to the locations that you expect.

•Be aware that if you change the encode depth after deleting or adding events, the events that were modified manually will be discarded, and the events that were detected by depth will be displayed.

•If you modify the location of events after encoding, you must re- encode. The modified location of the events will take effect when you encode.

Deleting an Event

1.Move the cursor to “Current.”

2.By turning the VALUE dial, pressing [INC/+][DEC/-], or dragging your finger over the sample in the screen, set Current to the location of the event that you want to delete.

3.Touch either or .

The Current location will move to the location of the next event toward the left or right.

4.Repeat step 3 to move Current to the location of the event that you wish to delete.

5.Touch to delete the event.

The events at the beginning and end of a sample cannot be

deleted.

Adding an Event

1.Move the cursor to “Current.”

2.By turning the VALUE dial, pressing [INC/+][DEC/-], or dragging your finger over the sample in the screen, move Current to the location at which you want to add the event.

3.Touch to add the event.
