Let's trim the loud click off the back of the sample.
1. Highlight the End Point parameter—the display jumps to the back end of the sample. The
dotted line with the E flag at the top shows us the current End Point setting.
2. Start turning the VALUE dial counter-clockwise. As you turn the dial, the End Point line moves
to the left.
3. Keep turning the VALUE dial until the End Point line sits just to the left of the big jump in the
sample's level at the end of the waveform—that's the loud click.
4. Press and hold down VELOCITY PAD 2 to hear your trimmed sample.
5. Adjust the End Point line's position until the click is cleanly lopped off, losing as little of the
groove as possible. You can audition it as many times as you need to by pressing and holding
VELOCITY PAD 2.
6. When you're satisfied, press F4 (Truncate)—the Truncate screen appears.
7. Press F4 (Overwrite) to checkmark it so that the trimmed version of the sample replaces the
original version in the MC-909's live sample memory.
If Overwrite is turned off, the MC-909 creates an edited copy of the sample, taking up
additional live sample memory space. The benefit of this is that you have a separate copy of
the sample at every stage of its editing in case you wish to go back a few steps in time. On
the other hand, your live sample memory fills up more quickly.
8. Press F6 (Execute). The MC-909 asks if you're sure you want to proceed.
9. Press F6 (Execute) to finish truncating the sample.
