SAMPLING: Page Menu Commands Time Slice
621
Note: As an alternative to the Time Slice command, the
Time Stretch menu command is another way to change the
tempo of a rhythm loop or similar sample. You may wish to
use this if you don’t need to divide the sample and create
song performance data for the divided samples.
1. Select the sample in the Sample Select (2–1b) for
which you wish to execute Time Slice.
2. Select the Time Slice to open the dialog box.
3. Specify the number of quarter-note beats and tempo
of the currently selected sample. If you know the BPM
of the original waveform, set Source BPM. If you do
not know the BPM, specify Beat and the BPM will be
calculated automatically.
The setting you make here will be used as the reference
value when detecting the attack, when performing Time
Stretch in step 9b, and when saving the sequence data in
step 10.
Beat: Specifies the number of quarter-note beats. When
you specify Beat, the Source BPM will indicate the
playback BPM at the original key. This BPM value will
automatically be calculated from the start address to the
end address (if loop is off) or from the loop start address
to the end address (if loop is on) of the selected sample. If
you know the BPM and it is different than the displayed
value, change Source BPM to the correct value.
For example in the case of a 120 BPM sample of one
measure of 4/4 time, set Beat to 4. The Source BPM will
be calculated automatically. If the Source BPM is not set
to 120.00, due to inaccuracies in the start address (or loop
start address) and end address, change the Source BPM
to 120.00.
Source BPM: Specifies the tempo at the original key of
the source waveform.
4. To execute Time Slice, press the OK button. To cancel
without executing, press the Cancel button.
When you press the OK button, the attacks will be
detected, the sample will automatically be sliced, and a
dialog box will appear.
In the case of a stereo sample in which L and
R have different lengths, silent data will automatically be
added to the end of the shorter sample so that the two
samples will be the same length.
If you want to re-set Beat and Source BPM after
pressing the OK button, you can do so in step 9a).
5. Listen to the samples that were divided by detecting
their attacks.
The sample before slicing is assigned to the C2 note of
the keyboard, and the sliced samples are assigned to notes
D2 and above. When you change the Index, the
corresponding display will be highlighted, allowing you
to view the sliced waveforms.
You can also select an index by holding down the
ENTER button and pressing a note on the keyboard. The
index that is assigned to the note you pressed will be
selected.
To hear the sliced sounds, you can either press the
corresponding note on the keyboard, or change the index
to select the desired sample and then press the
SAMPLING START/STOP button. When you press the
SAMPLING START/STOP button, the sound between
the specified Start and End will be played
at the original
key.
Keyboard: This shows the multisample that is being
used temporarily in this dialog box.
When you play the keyboard, this multisample will
sound. It will behave in the same way as in normal pages
(such as the Recording page). (0–1a)

* You can also use the Time Stretch command to control the compression of
each sample to optimize the “spacing” to match the tempo. step 9
