The wave data can also be deliberately
clipped or the plus or minus sides of the wave-
form can be individually adjusted to change
the sound as required.

• A5000/A4000
• Reverse ... This command reverses the waveform
with respect to time, so that the sound is
reversed.
• The command reverses the entire waveform. Opera-
tion is not restricted to the area between the start
and end addresses.
• When Reverse is executed, the wave start and end
addresses are automatically adjusted so that the
wave sounds over the same region. The same
applies to the loop start and end addresses: they are
automatically adjustyed so that the loop plays over
the same region.
• Fade ... Applies a gradual fade-in from the wave
start address or fade-out to the wave end
address.
• LoopXfade ... produces a smooth transition at the
loop crossover point.
