EDIT SAMPLE
S3000XL Operator’s Manual Page 125
EDIT SAMPLE
Assuming you have made a few recordings, let’s move on to see how we can edit these.
To edit a sample, press EDIT (of course, you must first be in SAMPLE mode). You will see
this screen:
Here we see one of the default sample waveforms, a pulse wave called, not surprisingly,
PULSE. Also on this screen is information regarding the current state of your memory and
you can see the size of the selected sample, how much memory is free and how many
samples are currently in memory.
In EDIT SAMPLE, there is an alternative, temporary style of display that allows you to see
sample length, etc., in milliseconds and you may toggle between the two types of display
by pressing and holding down any of the page keys again. You may also press the page
key again to toggle between displaying MIDI notes as numbers or as names. In this page,
pressing SLCT will switch between sample point and millisecond displays and will display
this screen:
NOTE: The millisecond display is purely for reference - you cannot actually edit in
milliseconds.
Only two fields are available in the SLCT page
allows you to monitor a sample you are making or have made
or are editing referenced to the program it is placed in. For example, let us say you have
made a snare drum sample and this is placed into a program DRUMS 1. By selecting
DRUMS 1 in this field, you will be able to edit it in EDIT SAMPLE whilst listening to the
other drums in the program. For example, to trim the start of the snare so that it ‘feels’ just
right, you may want to monitor the other drums as well, maybe even sequence them as
you are editing. The field allows you to select whether your editing will be in MONO
or STEREO. This may be set here and in other pages if you wish.
