Sample (waveform data) editing
Editing the waveform data of the sample is done in 2.1:
Sample Edit. You can use commands such as cut, copy,
and normalize to edit the waveform data.
1 Select the sample that you wish to edit.
Use "SMPL (Sample Select) or "Index" in the 2.1:
Sample Edit, Edit 1 page or the 1.1: Recording, Sam-
ple page to select the sample. ( p.70)
If you use "SMPL Sample Select)" to select the
sample, be aware that the index assignment will
also change.
2 Select the 2.1: Sample Edit, Edit2 page.
The waveform data of the currently selected sample
will be displayed.
The waveform display of a sample that was sam-
pled with a "Mode (Sample Mode)" setting of Ste-
reo can be switched between the L and R
waveforms by pressing the [F3] ("L/R") key. When
you do so, [L] or [R] will be displayed alternately
in the upper right.
3 Use "Edit S (Edit Range Start)" and "Edit E (Edit
Range End)" to specify the range that you wish to
edit.
The selected range will be highlighted.
If you wish to hear the sound of the selected range,
press the [AUDITION] key. The selected range will
play back at the pitch of the base key (the key shown
in gray on the keyboard display). You can select the
base key by holding down the [ENTER] key and
playing a note on your keyboard.
On your connected MIDI instrument, play a key to
which the sample is assigned (the highlighted range
of the keyboard displayed in "Keyboard & Index"),
and the sample will be played back according to its
loop settings.
The procedure for using the ZOOM and "Zero
(Use Zero)" check boxes is the same as for 3.1:
Loop Edit.
4 From the list of Utility menu, select the desired
editing command. Make the appropriate settings
in the dialog box, and press the [F8] ("OK") key to
execute.
For details on each command ( PG p.84).
A note on saving samples
In the dialog boxes of some Utility menu, there is a
"Save to No." setting that lets you specify the sample
number to which the edited sample will be saved. At
this time, a vacant sample number will be selected
automatically, so you will change the setting only if
you want to specify the save destination number.
If you check "Overwrite" in the dialog box of the com-
mand, the data prior to editing will be deleted, and will
be overwritten by the edited data. Normally, you will
execute the Write operation without checking this, so
that the unedited data is preserved. When you are com-
pletely finished with your editing, you can use the
"Delete SMPL" utility to delete unneeded samples.
In Sampling mode, there is no Compare function
that lets you compare the data before and after
editing.
If you wish to preserve the unedited state of the
multisample or sample, use "Copy SMPL" or
"Copy MS" ( PG p.80, 81) to copy the multisam-
ple or sample before you begin editing it.
For some Utility menu commands in 2.1: Sample
Edit or 3.1: Loop Edit, you can execute without
checking the "Overwrite" setting in the dialog
box, so that the sample data previous to editing
will be preserved.
