[F6 (Zoom In/Out)] Change the magnification of the sample
display (p. 114).
Panel buttons
[CHOP] Divide the sample (p. 118).
[EMPHASIS] Emphasize the sample's upper range
(p. 120).
[COMBINE] Combine multiple samples into a single
sample (p. 120).
[TIME STRETCH] Stretch or shrink the sample to change
the length or tempo (p. 121).
[NORMALIZE/AMP] Boosts the level of the sample as high as
possible (Normalize, p. 121), or boosts/

Sample edit operations (Chop, Normalize, etc.) apply to the entire
sample. Even if you specify a start point or end point, they will be
ignored.
If you want to apply the operation only to the region between the
start point and end point, use Truncate to delete unwanted portions
of the sample, and then perform the sample editing operation.

Zoom In/Out

Here's how to change the magnification of the sample display.
1. In the Sample Edit screen, press [F6 (Zoom In/Out)].
The Zoom In/Out sub-window will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to change the magnification of the
display.
• Horizontal axis (time axis): 1/1--1/65536
Press [CURSOR (left)] to increase the display magnification.
Press [CURSOR (right)] to decrease the display magnification.
* You can also use [VALUE] or [INC/DEC] to adjust this setting.
• Vertical axis (waveform amplitude axis): x1--x128
Press [CURSOR (left)] to increase the display magnification.
Press [CURSOR (right)] to decrease the display magnification.
3. Press [F6 (Close)] to close the sub-window.
Even without displaying the Zoom In/Out sub-window, you can
press [CURSOR (right/left) to expand/shrink the horizontal axis, or
hold down [SHIFT] and press [CURSOR (up/down)] to expand/
shrink the vertical axis.
