Sample mode
SLICE SAMPLE
Writes each divided region into memory as a separate sample. In addition, this command
automatically creates a program to which the written samples are assigned, and generates
a sequence that will use that program to recreate the original phrase.
A Generate sequence field
Specifies whether program/sequence data will be created at the same time (YES), or
whether only a new program will be created (NO).
B Sq field
Specifies the sequence number that will be generated automatically if the Generate
sequence field is set to YES.
C Tr field
Specifies the track number that will be generated automatically if the Generate sequence
field is set to YES.
D End margin field
Specifies how much of the waveform data following the end point will be included when
creating each new sample.
Hint: If the Generate sequence field is set to NO, a Create new program field will be added to the popup
window. This field selects whether to create a new program to which each sample is assigned (YES),
or to only write the sliced samples (NO).
SHUFFLE REGION
Changes the order of the regions.
A Step number
These numbers indicate the playback order. The maximum step number will be the num-
ber of regions that were divided.
B Region number field
These are the region numbers that will be played at each step.
Move the cursor to the region number field, and change the region number to modify the
order in which the regions will play. If there are more divided regions than can be dis-
played in the screen at once, use the CURSOR [
