Setting the Sample Playback Position

After assigning a sample to a pad, the following three parameters can be changed to specify the playback position.

•Start point

Normal playback start point. When the pad is pressed, playback starts from this point.

•End point

Normal playback end point. During one-shot playback, playback ends when this point is reached. During loop playback, playback returns to the start point when this point is reached.

•Offset

By selecting this value, the playback start position can be shifted forwards. During one-shot playback, playback starts at the offset point and stops at the end point. During loop playback, playback starts at the offset point and returns to the start point when the end point is reached.
