3. Press the sequencer button to playback the LOOP 1 and LOOP 2 tracks, and use the dial to try various note value settings.

Notice how the groove changes.

For this example, let’s set this parameter to an 8th note ( ) .

●Aligning the left and right channels of a stereo sample

In the case of a stereo sample, skewed timing between the left and right channels may impair the groove.

→This can be solved by converting the stereo sample to a mono sample. (SAMPLE PROCESS/STEREO TO MONO. p.270)

Here we will end our work on the LOOP 1 and LOOP 2 tracks.

Next let’s proceed to the COMPOSED LOOP tracks.

2.3.3 Setting Up The First COMPOSED LOOP track (“CL1”)

■Recording the Sample

Now record the next sample onto the first COMPOSED LOOP track (“COMPOSED LOOP 1”, or “CL1”). This time please record Track 81 from the sampling CD.

Record the sample in the same manner that you recorded samples for the two LOOP tracks. Set the recording parameters to 22K, 8BIT, and MONO L.

■Setting the Loop Length

Using the same procedure as you used to set the LOOP 2 track, set the loop length of the sample for the CL1 track to “LOOP LENGTH=016.”
