Sample Mode
181
■Fraction
Finely adjusts the length of the loop. For example,
when the loop is set to 100, and Loop Fraction is set
to 1, the loop becomes 100 points and 1/64 point in
length.
❏ Settings: 0~63
■Loop End
Sets the End point of the loop playback within the
range of the entire sample. As seen in the next
diagram, the End point can be set to remove
unwanted noise that exists after that point in the
sample.
❏ Settings: Differs depending on the sample length
About the Loop Lock Function
Changing the Start point or Top point may affect the
loop length you have set. Thus, you may
inadvertently change the loop length during editing.
If you don’t want to change the loop length, you can
fix it by pressing the [F4] (LP. LOCK) key. Pressing
it again cancels the Loop Lock function.
[F7]: LOOP
Here you can grasp the over all wave visually. In the
right half of the screen, the Start, End and Top points
are emphasized so that you can accurately set the Start
point, and the Top and End loop playback points.
The parameters here correspond to the ones in the
PARAM (Parameter) display. If you change the values for
some parameters here, the changes are mirrored in the
related parameters in the PARAM, and vice versa.
The following parameters are the same as the ones in
the PARAM display. For more information on the
details of each parameter, see page 179.

■Fraction (Loop Fraction)
Sets the Loop Fraction. This is the same as in the
PARAM display.
❏ Settings: 0~63
■START (Start Point)
Sets the Start point for the sample playback.
■TOP
Sets the Top point of the loop playback (the point
where the loop begins) within the range of the entire
sample.
■LOOP
Displays and sets the length from the Top point to
the End point. As this value moves, the End point
value will increase or decrease accordingly.
■END (End Point)
Sets the End point of the loop playback within the
range of the entire sample.
■Wave Display
Displays an image of the over all sample wave.
Waves for Start/Top/End Points and Magnifying Function
In the right half of the screen, waves for the
Start/Top/End points are displayed. Pressing [F3]
key allows you to magnify the three points for fine
adjustment. Each press changes the magnification
from 8, 4, 2, to 1. Since the End point is followed by
the Top point, you can visually check the point of
loop connection.
