The Resampling command page gives you access to different commands: Pitch Conver-
sion (described here), and Time Stretch (☞151). Select either of these operations by
turning Knob 2.
You use the Pitch Conversion command to change the pitch of the selected sample
while leaving its playback length unchanged. Knob 3 sets the coarse pitch adjustment
(in semitones), while Knob 4 sets the fine adjustment.
Important
• This command does not operate on sample banks.
• The command operates on the entire waveform. (Operation is not restricted to the
area between the start and end addresses.)
• Following the conversion, the “start address” and “loop start address” reset to the
wave-start address (=0), and the “end address” and “loop end address” reset to the
wave-end address.
Knob 1 Change Page >RESMPL
• Turn the knob to change to a different command page.
• Push the knob to execute the pitch conversion. The A3000 returns a confirmation
screen. Push Knob 5 (>YES) to proceed, or Knob 4 (>NO) to cancel.
Knob 2 Func =TmStrch, PtchCnv >Test
• Turn the knob to select the command you want to execute: Time Stretch or Pitch
Conversion.
• Push the knob to hear how the converted sample will sound. This feature lets you
confirm that results will be appropriate before you execute the actual conversion.
Knob 3 Coarse = -12,...,+12
Use this knob to raise or lower the pitch in semitone increments.
Press the COMMAND key, turn Knob 1 to select >RESMPL,
then turn Knob 2 to select PtchCnv.
