Multisample editing
Editingamultisampleisaccomplishedwithanumber
ofoperationsi.e.creatingindexesforthemultisample
andassigningasampletoeachindex,editing
operationssuchasdeleting,copying,andinserting
indexes,anddetailedsettingssuchassampleleveland
pitchforeachindex.
MultisampleeditingisperformedinP3:Multisample.

Editing the indexes
Tochangethenumberororderoftheindexes,usethe
Insert,Cut,Copy,andCreatebuttons.
1. SelecttheP3:MultisampleEditpage.
2. Use“Multisample(MS)”toselectthemultisample
thatyouwishtoedit.
3. Selectthe“Index.”
Youcanalsoselectanindexbyholdingdownthe
VALUEcontrollerorENTERswitchandplayinga
noteonthekeyboard.
4. Pressthebuttonstomodifythenumberororderof
theindexes,andeditthem.
Todeletetheselectedindex,presstheCutbutton.
TheInsertbuttonisusedinconjunctionwiththe
CutandCopybuttons.Thecontentsoftheindex
thatwasCutorCopiedwillbeinse

TheCreatebuttonhasthesamefunctionasthe
