Loop Divide - Yamaha A4000 Owner's Manual

LOOP DIVIDE

[COMMAND/EXIT] Button
Press Knob 3
Divides the wave data between the sample loop start and loop
end points into equal segments which become independent
samples.
This command allows multiple copies of the selected sample
to be created and placed in a new sample bank. The actual
wave data, however, is not copied. The wave and loop
addresses of the new samples are equal divisions of the area
between the loop start and end addresses of the original sam-
ple. The loop mode for the new samples is automatically set
to "– – ". The new samples are stored with consecutive
numbers in a sample bank which is automatically named "Div
SmpBank."
* Make sure the sample's loop is properly set up before using
this feature.
• This feature can be used to extract individual beats from a drum
pattern sample, for example, and save them as individual samples.
• The individual samples produced by the Loop Divide feature are
automatically mapped to consecutive notes, so the resultant sam-
ples can be assigned to a program or sample bank and played via
MIDI right away.
[Operation]
1.
Select the sample to be divided.
2.
Set other parameters as required.
3.
Press Knob 1 (EXEC) or Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT), and the loop
divide confirmation display will appear. Press Knob 5 (YES) to exe-
cute the loop divide operation.
• If Knob 1 (EXEC) is used to execute the command, the display pre-
vious to the command menu will be recalled after execution has fin-
ished. If Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) is used to execute the command,
the loop divide display will be retained so you can continue and per-
form further loop divide operations.

[ Turn] Division
Determines the number of segments the sample will be
divided into.
The wave data between the sample loop start and loop
end points is divided into the corresponding number of
equal segments. The address of each segment becomes
the wave start address of each new sample.
[Range] 1/2 — 1/32
Knob 3
[ Turn] Length
Specifies the length of the samples produced by the Loop
Divide command as a percentage.
[Range] 10% — 800%, ToLoopEnd
• 10% — 800% ... The wave length of the resultant
samples will be the specified percentage of
the segments produced by the Loop Divide
command, starting at the new wave start
address of each new sample. With a setting of
100% the length of the samples is the same
as the segments produced by dividing the
loop.
• ToLoopEnd ... The loop end address of the original
sample becomes the wave end address of the
new samples.
