Works on:

LOOP tracks

This function lets you dynamically adjust the length of a LOOP-track sample. The adjustment is available only if BPM TRACKING (in the TRACK SET SETUP job) is set to SLICE (→ p.237), and only on LOOP tracks. Positive values increase the length, while negative values reduce the length. Note, however, that SU700 cannot lengthen the sample past the actual end of the waveform: once you have reached the end of the waveform, additional lengthening has no effect.

The purpose of this function is to allow you to adjust for loop problems that may occur when you change the BPM setting. When BPM TRACKING is set to SLICE, the SU700 slices the loop into a number of pieces (as determined by the groove resolu- tion) and adjusts the start timing of each piece so as to match the BPM. As you reduce the BPM you will begin to get a gap between adjacent pieces. You can use the LENGTH function to remove the gap and adjust the groove.
