Setting The Sample Playback Position - Zoom Sampletrak ST-224 Operation Manual

Setting the Sample Playback Position

After assigning a sample to a pad, the following three parameters can be changed to specify the playback
position.
• Start point
Normal playback start point. When the pad is pressed,
playback starts from this point.
• End point
Normal playback end point. During one-shot playback,
playback ends when this point is reached. During loop
playback, playback returns to the start point when this
point is reached.
• Offset
By selecting this value, the playback start position can be
shifted forwards. During one-shot playback, playback
starts at the offset point and stops at the end point.
During loop playback, playback starts at the offset point
and returns to the start point when the end point is
reached.
When there is a blank at the beginning and end of the sample, it can be eliminated by
