Making fine adjustments to the location at 
which a sample starts/ends
When you arrange samples in a sequence track to create a song, you will sometimes 
need to make fine adjustments to the sample's start/loop points, or to its length. By 
using the {Preview function} or {Scrub function}, you can make precise and detailed 
adjustments while listening to the sound.
Specifying a point while you listen to the sound 
before and after it—Preview
The preview button [TO] means “To Now” (to the point). Each time you press [TO], 
a brief region of sound (one second) ending at that point will be played. By turning 
the TIME/VALUE dial to move the point back and forth while listening to this 
sound, you can easily make accurate adjustments to the point.
When you press the preview button [FROM], the preview function will play “From 
Now” (from the point), allowing you to hear a brief region of sound (one second) 
beginning at that point.
