Toplaythesample,pressthekeytowhichthe
sampleisassigned(thekeyrangethatishighlighted
in“Keyboard&Pad”).
Asamplewaveformthatwassampledwith
“SampleMode”settoStereowillbedisplayedin
twolevels.TheupperlevelistheLchannel,andthe
lower
levelistheRchannel.
3. Specifythestartaddressin“Start,”theloopstart
addressin“LoopStart,”andtheendaddressin
“End.”
Select“Start”(highlighted),andusethe[VALUE]
dialorotherVALUEcontrollerstomodifythe
value.Thecorrespondingverticallinewillmove.Set
“LoopStart”and“End”in
thesameway.Inthe
exampleshownbelow, “Start”issetimmediately
beforethefirstwaveform,“LoopS(LoopStart)”is
setimmediatelybeforethesecondwaveform,and
“End”issetasdesired.
ZOOM
4. ByusingtheZOOMbuttonyoucanchangethe
rangethatisdisplayed.When“Start”is
highlighted,zoomwillbeperformedfromthe
startaddress.
Area“a”shownintheillustrationdisplaysthe
entiresample.Area“b”indicatestheregionwithin
theentiresamplethatisshowninarea“c.”As
you
zoom‐inonthetimeaxis,thisshowsyouwherethe
zoomedregionislocatedwithintheentiresample.
UsetheZoombuttonstospecifyhowarea“c”will
showamagnified(zoom‐in)orreduced(zoom‐out)
viewofthewaveform.
Use Zero
Ifthe“UseZero”checkboxischecked,onlythose
addresseswherethewaveformdatacrossesthezero
levelwillbefoundautomaticallywhensearching,
andcanbeset.Thisletsyoueasilymakeaddress
settingswherenoiseislesslikelytooccurwhen
looping.
Truncate
5. Ifnecessary,usethepagemenucommand
“Truncate”todeleteunwanteddatathatfalls
outsidethestart(orloopstart)andendaddresses.
SelecttheFront&Endradiobutton.
Inthisexample,wewillnotchangethesettingsof
the“SavetoNo.”and“Overwrite”checkboxes,so
presstheOKbuttontoexecute.
Whenyouexecutethisoperation,thetruncated
sampledatawillautomaticallybeassignedtothe
index.
Inthedialogboxesofsomepagemenu,thereisa
“SavetoNo.”settingthatletsyouspecifythe
samplenumbertowhichtheeditedsamplewillbe
saved.Atthis
time,avacantsamplenumberwillbe
selectedautomatically,soyouwillchangethe
settingonlyifyouwanttospecifythesave
destinationnumber.Ifyoucheck“Overwrite”inthe
dialogboxofthecommand,thedatapriortoediting
willbedeleted,andwillbeoverwrittenbythe

data.Normally,youwillexecutetheWrite
operationwithoutcheckingthis,sothatthe
unediteddataispreserved.Whenyouare
completelyfinishedwithyourediting,youcanuse
thepagemenu command“DeleteSample”todelete
unneededsamples.
Using the grid to make loop settings
“Grid”overlaysagridonthewaveformdisplayto
indicatethetempoBPM.Thishelpsyoumakeloop
settingsthatmatchthetempo.
YoucanalsoviewthegridintheP1:SampleEditpage,
andusethegridtoeditthewaveformtomatchthe
tempo.
1. Check“Grid.”
