point. If the Loop Switch is set to Off, the Loop
End parameter changes to "Sample End".
LOOP SWITCH: This parameter toggles between
the On and Off status of the Loop. If set to ON,
the sample loops continually from Loop Start to
Loop End until the keys are released. If OFF, the
sample plays from Loop Start to Sample End and
stops.
GENERAL NOTES ON SAMPLE EDITING
When you trim samples by changing the values
of Loop Start and Loop End, you'll hear the effect
with the next note you play. However, the Sam-
ple is not actually changed in the PS/GPS
memory until you save it.
THE SAMPLE EDIT OPTIONS
Entering the Sample Edit page activates several
options.
TUNING (F1)
The Tuning option provides a reference for the
sample pitch, producing the exact note with a si-
nusoidal, superimposed on the sample. This is
useful in situations where the original sample pitch
is required when assigning a sample to a key
range.
Press the soft button F1 to activate the Tuning
function (shown in negative highlight) and play a
note on the keyboard.
Press F1 to deactivate Tuning.
NORMALIZE (2)
If the volume of the selected sample seems to
be too low, it is quite probable that the original
sample Gain (Volume) has a setting that needs
to be adjusted. Normalize takes the sample gain
to its maximum setting in a single step.
1. Press F2 to select NORMALIZE.

The display shows the current status of the
sample Gain.
In this display situation, the Gain setting is
not programmable.
2. Press ENTER to set the sample Gain to its
maximum setting (100%).
GAIN (F3)
This option allows you to modify the volume of
the sample with respect to the other samples of
the Waveform. One of the primary uses of Gain
is to equalize the volume levels between differ-
ent key ranges.
1. Press F3 to select GAIN.
