Sampling (Open Sampling System)
timing of the phrase in the sequencer to transform
the original rhythm loop into an entirely different
rhythm loop. (Stereo samples are supported.)
• You can use the Time Stretch function to modify the
tempo without changing the sample's pitch. When
executing Time Stretch, you can choose either
"Sustaining" (suitable for loops of sustained sounds
such as strings or vocal) or "Slice" (suitable for
loops of decay‐type sounds such as drums). (Stereo
samples are supported.)
• Sometimes when looping a sample of pitched
instruments such as strings or winds, the looped
portion may play back in an unnatural way. By
executing the Crossfade Loop function you can
eliminate this problem so that the loop sounds
right.
Loop settings
1. Select the sample for which you wish to make loop
settings.
To select the sample, use the Sample Select or Index
parameters of P2: Loop Edit page or of the P0:
Recording, Recording page.
If you use Sample Select to select the sample, be
aware that the assignment to the index will also
change.
2. In the P2: Loop Edit page, use the "Loop" check
box to turn loop playback on/off for the sample.
Looping will be turned on if the box is checked.
This will operate between the addresses you specify
in step 3.
Loop On: Start→End→Loop Start→End→ (Loop
Start→End is repeated)
Loop Off: Start→End
To play the sample, press the key to which the
sample is assigned (the key range that is highlighted
in Keyboard & Pad).
A sample waveform that was sampled with Sample
Mode set to Stereo will be displayed in two levels.
The upper level is the L channel, and the lower level
is the R channel.
3. Set the start address in "Start," the loop start
address in "Loop Start," and the end address in
"End."

Select Loop Start (highlighted), and use the
[VALUE] dial or other VALUE controllers to modify
the value. The corresponding vertical line will
move. Set Start and End in the same way. In the
example shown below, Start is set immediately
before the first waveform, Loop Start is set
immediately before the second waveform, and End
is set as desired.

ZOOM
4. By using the ZOOM button you can change the
range that is displayed. When "Start" is
highlighted, zoom will be performed from the
start address.
c a b
Area "a" shown in the illustration displays the
entire sample. Area "b" indicates the region within
the entire sample that is shown in area "c." As you
zoom‐in on the time axis, this shows you where the
zoomed region is located within the entire sample.
Use the Zoom buttons to specify how area "c" will
show a magnified (zoom‐in) or reduced (zoom‐out)
view of the waveform.
Use Zero
If the Use Zero check box is checked, only those
addresses where the waveform data crosses the zero
level will be found automatically when searching,
and can be set. This lets you easily make address
settings where noise is less likely to occur when
looping.
Truncate
5. If necessary, use the page menu command
"Truncate" to delete unwanted data that falls
outside the start (or loop start) and end addresses.
Select the Front & End radio button.
In this example, we will not change the settings of
the Save to No. and Overwrite check boxes, so
press the OK button to execute.
