Link
This command connects the currently selected sample with
another sample.
SOUND A

The volume of the two samples can be changed gradually at
the transition to gradually mix the samples with each other.
This is called crossfade, and can be used to produce a
natural-sounding transition between the two sounds.

Link will be executed for all of the selected sample data,
regardless of the Start and End settings.
1. Use Sample Select (1–1b) to select the sample that will
be placed in front by the Link command.
2. Select Link to open the dialog box.

3. The sample number selected for Front Sample No.
will be displayed. When the command is executed, this
sample will be placed in front.
If you select one side of a stereo sample, it
will automatically be detected as a stereo sample, and the
other side of the sample will also be processed by the
Link command.
If the Front Sample is mono and the Rear Sample is
stereo, the L and R of the Rear Sample will be mixed to
mono before linking.
If the Front Sample is stereo and the Rear Sample is
mono, the identical sample will be placed in L and R of
the Rear Sample before linking.
4. Use Rear Sample No. to select the sample number that
will be linked.
When the command is executed, this sample will be
placed in back.
5. In Crossfade Length, specify the length over which
the crossfade will occur.
If you specify a % value, the proportion in relation to the
entire Front Sample will be calculated automatically. If
you specify 50%, the last half of the Front Sample will
crossfaded.
If the rear sample is short, the Crossfade Length cannot
be set any longer than the length of the Rear sample. In
this case, it will not be possible to specify a value up to
100%.
After selecting a sample in step 1, you can set Start and
specify the beginning of the crossfade while viewing the
waveform. Set End to the end of the sample. If you
specify these, Crossfade Length will indicate the length
determined by Start and End.
6. In "Curve," specify how you want the volume to
change in the crossfaded portion.
Linear: The volume will change linearly.
Power: The volume will change non-linearly. In some
cases, Linear may sound as though the volume
diminishes in the middle of the curve. If this occurs, use
Power.
7. In Save to No., specify the save destination sample
number.
An unused sample number will be selected by default.
If Overwrite is checked, the sample number will be fixed
to the current sample, and cannot be changed. See "About
Overwrite" on page 605.
For stereo samples, use "Save to No.(L)" and
"(R)" to specify the save-destination of the L and R
channels.
