—About Looping—
A sampled sound longer than 0.8 sec will auto-
matically be looped (Autolooping). The looping
function repeats a part of the sampled sound. In
this way, sustained sounds can be performed. For
instance, you can produce a "Paaaa...." sound by a
sampling "Pa".

A Sample
Looping a sample can produce an annoying
ticking or propping noise, but this can be re-
moved later by correcting the Wave
Parameters (explained on page 55).
* If the S-220's built-in computer cannot find an
appropriate start point for the loop, the looping
is not performed.
If the Autoloop function (explained on page 77)
in the Wave Modify section is set to Mode 3
or 4, looping will be more difficult.

2. Changing Sampling Condi-
tions
You can change the following sampling condi-
tions: Key Number, Trigger Modes and Sampling
Clock.
PROCEDURE
@ Push the Record Button, then the Mode
Button, and select the conditions you wish to
change by using the Forward and Backward
Buttons.
®
Make the necessary alterations with the Alpha
Dial.
@ Push the Stand-by Button, and you can move
on to the sampling procedure.
@ Changing Key Numbers in Sampling
When you are sampling a specific pitch, you may
wish to change the key number. It is important to
remember that a pitch higher than the original
sampled sound by more than 21 semi-tones is
substituted by the pitch of the lower octave.
® Changing Trigger Modes
When the Manual mode is selected, the " : " mark
in the Display goes out.
