How to set the tempo of the Sample
If you do not know the tempo of the Sample containing
the rhythm pattern, follow the instructions below.
1
While holding the [SF1] Audition button, adjust
the Start Point and End Point so that looped
playback of the Sample is smooth and matches
the beat timing.
Make sure to also use the Extract operation to delete
unnecessary parts from the Sample.
2
Set the time signature and measure.
Press the [F1] Trim button to call up the Trim display
(below) then set the time signature ( ) and measure
( ).
3
Increase or decrease the Tempo ( ) as
necessary so that the End Point ( ) becomes
equivalent to the end point applied to the
original Sample.
Set the Tempo ( ) to a large value then decrease it
gradually so that the End Point ( ) increases
gradually. Once you reach a certain value, the End
Point no longer increases, even when you decrease
the Tempo. The resulting value is the End Point
applied to the original Sample. The final Tempo value
is the most appropriate tempo for Sample playback.
