Copying A Sample To Another Pad; Converting To A Sample That Has A Modified Playback Region - Roland SP-555 Owner's Manual

Copying a sample to another pad

You can copy a sample from one pad to another pad. This
lets you create another sample based on an existing sample.
If you decide to cancel this operation during the procedure,
press [CANCEL].
1.
While holding down [DEL], press [RESAMPLE].
2.
The display will indicate "CPY."
3.
Press the pad for the copy-source sample.
4.
Press the copy-destination pad.
When the two pads have been pressed, [SAMPLING]
will blink.
5.
When you press [SAMPLING], the copy will begin.
6.
When the indication of "CPY" in the display has
disappeared, the copy is complete.
If there is not enough free memory to perform the copy, the
display will indicate "FuL" and the copy cannot be performed.
Never turn off the power before the copy has been completed.
Doing so will destroy not only the samples being copied, but
may also destroy other samples or the CompactFlash card.
Converting to a sample that has
a modified playback region
When you adjust the start point or end point, the unused
portions of the sample will be unnecessarily occupying
memory. By deleting (truncating) these unused portions, you
can make efficient use of memory.
