Notice the difference between this job and the TRACK COPY job. For a TRACK COPY job, the SU700 simply copies the sample waveform and the various knob settings from one track into another. For a resample job, however, the SU700 records a new sample, using as its sound source the existing sample as modified by the existing sample’s knob settings.

Notice that the copy operation replicates the waveform, while the resample operation changes the waveform so as to incorporate the source track’s knob set- tings. Following the resampling, the destination track (with its knob settings set to their defaults) will produce the same sound as the source track under its original, user-adjusted knob settings.

Note that you can use resampling to magnify knob effects to any desired de- gree. Suppose, for example, that you want to apply an extremely high resonance to a sample recorded on track A. To do this, you can set the track A resonance to its maxi- mum, then resample the sound onto track B. You can then set the resonance on track B to its maximum and resample the sound back onto track A. You can repeat resampling as many times as you like so as to build the desired changes directly into the waveform.
