TUNE
The tempo of the phrase will be changed by changing the pitch of the sample.
A New tempo field: Specifies the desired
result tempo.
B Tune field: Indicates how much the pitch has
been changed by the setting you made for the
New tempo field. You can also change this
value to adjust the New tempo.
STRETCH
The tempo of the phrase will be adjusted using the Time Stretch function.
6. Move the cursor to the New tempo field, and specify the desired tempo. If you selected TUNE,
the value of the Tune field will change according to the tempo you specify in the New tempo
field.
7. Set the Preset field and the Adjust field.
For details on the Preset field and the Adjust field, see the PDF reference manual.
8. To execute the tempo change, press the [F6] key (DO IT).
The Keep or Retry popup window will appear.
9. Use the [F3] key (P
®ORIGIN) and [F4] key (P®NEW) to compare the sample before and after
editing.
10. If you are satisfied with the edited result, assign a new name to the sample as necessary, and
press either the [F2] key, [F5] key, or [F6] key to save the new sample.
However if you press the [F2] key (OVER WR), the new sample name will be ignored, and the edited sample
will be overwritten onto the original file, replacing it.
Saving and loading samples
The following pages explain how to save or load samples to or from a storage device.
Saving samples
Samples in memory can be saved on an internal or external storage device. Since all samples in memory
will be lost when you turn off the power of the MPC4000, you must save your samples as described below
if you want to keep them.
1. Press the [SAVE] key.
The Save page will appear.
2. Move the cursor to the Type field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select SAVE SAMPLEs.
Note: Tempo change is destructive editing. Be aware that if you press the [F2] key to overwrite the original
data, you will not be able to undo this operation.
