Marking and Splitting Samples (MARK)
You can split a sample up into multiple smaller samples. To split a sample, you must first mark the locations where the sample is to
be split using markers.
Here we explain about the different ways to add markers.
Adding a marker at the desired location
You can choose where to place a marker (the location where the sample is to be split) while looking at the sample’s waveform.
1. Press pads [1]–[16] to select the sample to which you want to add markers.
2. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [START/END] button.
The marker setting screen appears.
3. Decide on where to add the marker by using the [CTRL 1] knob, and then press the [MARK] button.
This adds the marker to the sample.
You can use the following controllers when the edit screen is shown.

[DEL] button

[RESAMPLE] button
Moves the cursor to the zero cross-point (*) that’s closest to the cursor time (SNAP to Zero-Cross
function).
This function is enabled when the [RESAMPLE] button is lit.
* The “zero cross-point” is the time at which the value of the sample waveform crosses from zero
into a positive or negative number.
You can press pads [1]–[16] to preview the audio at the corresponding marker.
Adding markers while previewing a sample
You can choose where to place a marker (the location where the sample is to be split) while previewing (listening to) the sample.
1. Press pads [1]–[16] to select the sample to which you want to add markers.
2. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [START/END] button.
The marker setting screen appears.
