The green/S marker and red/E marker are the start point and end point (respectively). These two points define the

region of the sample that will be played.

To move the start point or end point, do any of the following:

• Tap and drag the S or E marker left or right.

• Use the Start or End fields shown below the waveform.

• Use the first bank of Q-Link knobs to adjust the start point or the second bank of Q-Link knobs to adjust

the end point. The top-most Q-Link knob provides coarse adjustment. The bottom-most Q-Link knob

provides fine adjustment.

Note: When Loop Lock is on, the loop position (as determined by the Loop field, if enabled) is the same as the

sample’s start point. When off, the loop position is independent from the start point.

Use the Loop field to determine the position where the sample’s playback will repeat when Pad Loop is activated.

Alternatively, use the third bank of Q-Link knobs to adjust the loop point. The top-most Q-Link knob provides

coarse adjustment. The bottom-most Q-Link knob provides fine adjustment.

Note: When Loop Lock is on, the loop position is the same as the sample’s start point. When off, the loop position is

independent from the start point.

Use the Tail Length and Tail Loop fields to add adding extra audio tail to any chopped sample. This is useful for

things like making an abrupt end to a sample sound more natural or adding experimental looping effects to a sample.

The Tail Length parameter enables the sample tail and set its total length, and the Tail Loop parameter sets the

starting point within the tail for looping.

Use the Slice field to select what part/parts of the sample will play:

All: The entire sample will play.

Pad: The sample will play from the Pad Start position to the Pad End position, described earlier. This also lets

you activate Pad Loop (if the Sample Play field in the LFO Modulation tab is set to Note On).

Slice 1, 2, 3, etc.: If you have sliced the sample in Chop Mode, you can select which slice will play when you

trigger the pad.

Semi lets you transpose the selected layer 36 up to semitones up or down. This will affect the length of the sample (if

Warp is off). This is the same as the Semi knob on the second Samples tab. The analyzed Key of the sample is

displayed next to the Semi field and will adjust based on this value.

Fine provides fine-tuning of each layer by cents. This will affect the length of the sample (if Warp is off). This is the

same as the Fine knob on the second Samples tab.
