Emphasis; Combine - Roland MC-909 Owner's Manual

Sample Edit

Emphasis

In some cases, the audio quality will be improved if you boost the
high-frequency range of an imported sample. Also, the high-
frequency range of the sample may be emphasized when you use a
sampler made by another manufacturer. In this case, you can
minimize the change in tonal character by attenuating the high-
frequency range.
1. Press [EMPHASIS].
Alternatively, hold down [SHIFT] and press [F2 (Emphasis)].
2. Press [F1 (Sample List)] and select a sample.
3. Use [VALUE] or [INC/DEC] to select the emphasis
type.
PreEmphasis: Emphasizes the high-frequency range.
DeEmphasis: Attenuates the high-frequency range.

emphasized sample, press [F4 (Over Write)] to
display the "✔" symbol.
