Tap From BPM to open the Edit Tuning window, which lets
you tune a sample to the current sequence.
Use the Number of Beats field to match the number of beats
in the sequence.
To tune the sample to the sequence, tap Match. The
Tune field will adjust automatically and close the window.
The sample is now tuned to the sequence.
To tune the sample to the sequence and adjust the
sequence tempo, tap To Seq. This is the same as tapping
Match but it also changes the sequence's tempo to the
BPM shown in the Tempo field on the right.
To close the window, tap Close.
Use the Root Note field to set the root note of the sample. This defines which note will play the sample at its original
pitch when in a keygroup program.
Use the Slice field to display either the sample as it has been edited (Pad) or the entire sample (All).
If the Slice field is set to All, you can display the sample as it has been edited but keep the start point and end point.
To do this, press and hold Shift, and then tap To Pad at the bottom of the touchscreen. The Slice field will change
to Pad, but the start point and end point will remain in their current locations.
The Link Slices button does not have a function in Program Mode.
0 Snap forces start points, end points, and loop points to occur only at the waveform's "zero-crossings." This can
help to avoid clicks and glitches when playing a sample.
To enable or disable 0 Snap, press and hold Shift, and then tap 0 Snap at the bottom of the touchscreen.
To enable or disable the loop function, press and hold Shift, and then tap Loop at the bottom of the touchscreen.
This switches the loop function between Forward and off. The loop function is described earlier.
