Explanation
ORIGINAL
KEY
C-1–G9
Species the note number that plays the
sample at the pitch at which it was imported.
LOOP SWITCH OFF, ON Turns loop playback on/o.
START *1
Playback start point (Start Point)
This lets you skip an unwanted portion of the
waveform at the beginning of the sample so
that the sample plays with the desired timing.
LOOP *1
Point at which the repeated portion starts on
the second and subsequent plays (Loop Point)
Specify this if you want to loop from a location
other than START.
After the Sample played back from START to
END, it will then be repeatedly played back in
the forward direction, from the LOOP to END.
START
LOOP END
END *1
Playback end point (End Point)
This lets you omit an unwanted portion of the
waveform at the end of the sample.
LEVEL 0–127 Adjusts the volume of the sample.
*1 The length of the imported sample is calculated, and the position of
each point is shown as a time (units: milliseconds).
Use the VALUE [-] [+] buttons to adjust the value in steps of one
millisecond.
You can use the [SHIFT] + VALUE [-] [+] buttons to adjust the value in
steps of 100 milliseconds.
The displayed value (time) is the value when the sample is played at
the key specied by Original Key. The playback time is shorter than
displayed if you play a key that is higher than the Original Key, and
longer than displayed if you play a key that is lower.
TIPS
When reproducing the sound of a sustained instrument (such as organ
or ute), turn the LOOP switch ON, and adjust the LOOP and END
points. You can play the keyboard to audition the adjusted sound.
Depending on the position of the LOOP and END points, you might
hear a “pop” noise when looping. In some cases you can reduce this
noise by making ne adjustments to the LOOP and END points in
one-millisecond steps.
6. Press the [EXIT] button.
MEMO
When you press the [EXIT] button after editing a value, the save
conrmation screen appears.
. Press the [ENTER] button to overwrite-save and exit the sample edit
screen.
. Press the [EXIT] button to discard your changes and exit the sample
edit screen.
