The End parameter sets the point at which the current sample will stop playback. Typically
you'll use this parameter to trim unwanted silence off the end of a sample, although you can
use it to shorten a sample as much as you want.
Note On Saving Samples: Trimmed portions of a sample are not saved. Trimmed
portions before the Start, or Alternative Start points. Trimmed portions of a sample
saved to a user ID will be deleted. Trimmed portions before the Start or Alternative Start
points (whichever has a lower value) will be lost upon saving to a user ID, and whichever
parameter had a lower value will have a value of zero the next time it is loaded (values for
all other sample point parameters will be adjusted relatively). Trimmed portions after the
Alternative Start or End points (whichever has a higher value) will be lost upon saving
to a user ID. The original untrimmed sample is always available by selecting the sample's
original factory ID number. Saving trimmed factory samples to user IDs will not change
the sound of factory samples, keymaps, or Programs.
Zero- and Zero+
Pressing the Zero- or Zero+ buttons will search left or right respectively for the sample's next
zero-crossing. A zero-crossing is a point where the sample waveform is neither positive or
negative (crossing the horizontal line in the middle of the waveform display). The currently
selected parameter (Start, Alternative Start, Loop, or End) will be set to this point in the
sample. Setting these parameters to zero-crossings can help minimize clicks at the start, end,
or loop point of a sample. It's best to have each of these points set first by adjusting each
parameter and listening to the sample, then if needed search for a nearby zero-crossing.
