Section 6—Wave Parameters EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual 
EDIT/Wave Page 
These parameters control all the Wavesample pointers such as sample start, 
sample end, loop points, etc. Also on this page, you can choose the playback 
mode and set up modulation of the sample start and/or loop position. 
This page allows you to select one of five possible Wavesample playback modes. 
• FORWARD—NO LOOP. The EPS-16 PLUS plays through the Wavesample 
once (also known as "one shot" mode). 
• BACKWARD—NO LOOP. The EPS-16 PLUS plays through Wavesample 
once, only in reverse, from sample end to sample start. 
• LOOP FORWARD. The EPS-16 PLUS will play forward from sample start 
and will continue playing the loop while the key is depressed. Once the key is 
released the loop continues playing as the Wavesample envelopes away. 
• LOOP BIDIRECTION. The EPS-16 PLUS will play forward from sample 
start. At loop end, the EPS-16 PLUS will play the Wavesample in reverse to 
the loop start, playing the loop section back and forth until the key is released. 
• LOOP AND RELEASE. The EPS-16 PLUS will play forward from sample 
start and will continue playing the loop while the key is depressed. As soon as 
the key is released the EPS-16 PLUS will go into "one shot" mode from 
wherever it is and will keep playing until the end of the Wavesample, playing 
data after the loop. 
This page allows you to set the sample start point. To conserve memory, it's a 
good idea to move the Sample Start and Sample End to eliminate any "dead 
space" at beginning or end of the sample, and then truncate the Wavesample using 
the TRUNCATE WAVESAMPLE command on the COMMAND/Wave page (see 
discussion later this section). 
When the SAMPLE START or SAMPLE END parameters are displayed on the 
EDIT/Wave page there are two ways to adjust them—you can move in large 
steps by adjusting the percent setting, or move one sample at a time by choosing 
the fine adjust
