Sample mode
D End margin field
When creating the new samples, this specifies how much of the waveform data following
the region end point will be included in each new sample.
E [F1] key (CANCEL)
Cancels the slice command and closes the popup window.
F [F6] key (DO IT)
Executes the slice command and closes the popup window.
3. Move the cursor to the Generate sequence field, and select YES.
If you select YES, a program to which the new samples are assigned and a sequence that
consecutively plays the samples of that program will be automatically created when you
execute SLICE SAMPLE to write the samples.
4. Move the cursor to the Sq field, and select a sequence.
5. Move the cursor to the Tr field, and select a track number.
The new sequence data will be created in the selected track of the selected sequence.
6. Move the cursor to the End margin field, and specify the end margin.
If you set this to 0, the end point of each divided sample will match the region end point.
As you increase this value, the end point of each sample will be moved later than the
region end point. (The start point of the next sample will not change.)
Hint: By holding down the [SHIFT] key and using the CURSOR [ √ ]/[ ® ] keys, you can change the
numerical place that is modified by the [JOG] dial.
By increasing the value of the End margin field, you can prevent unnatural-sounding silence from
occurring between samples if you play the sequence at a slower tempo.
7. Press the [F6] key (DO IT).
The SLICE SAMPLE command will be executed, and a program of the same name as
the previously-selected sample will be created. A track of the same name as the sample
will also be created within the selected sequence.
