Step-by-Step
LOOPING
Looping lets you specify all or a portion of the sample as a "loop" which will repeat during playback,
depending on the selected "Loop Mode." Looping can be used to simply make a sound repeat, or to make it
possible to play sustained tones of virtually any length using a short sample.
If you have a violin sample, for example, it will have an attack, a relatively uniform middle section, and a
release. If you loop a carefully selected section of the middle portion you can sustain the violin sound as
long as you hold a note, then the release portion would play when the note is released.
1.
Go To the TRIM/LOOP Display
If you are not already there, press the [EDIT] button and then the [TRIM/LOOP] function key to go to
the "EDIT-Waveform" display.
2.
Select a Sample To Edit
If the sample you want to edit isn't already selected (the sample name appears at the bottom of the
window in the upper left corner of the display), press Knob 1 (TREE) to see a list of the available sam-
ples, use Knob 2 to select the desired sample, then press Knob 1 (PARAM) again to return to the
"EDIT-Waveform" display.
You can play the selected sample by pressing the [AUDITION] button.
