As the screen warns, pressing <Execute> will permanently delete the
unused ends of the sound. To cancel the deletion, press <Cancel>.
NOTE: If a sound is currently loaded into more than one drum (for
example, a tom-tom is loaded into both TOM3 and TOM4 at two different
tunings) and you press the <Cutoff Ends> soft key, the truncation will not
occur. This is because the other drum which is also using this sound may
need the ends of the sound which you want to cut off. If this occurs and
you are still certain you want to cut off the ends, you must first delete the
sound from the other drums) which are using it.
• SOFT KEY 2- <Reverse>:
This function allows a sound to be reversed in memory, front to back.
Pressing this soft key causes the following screen to be displayed:
Pressing <Execute> will cause the sound to be reversed, front to back.
When complete, the previous screen is re-displayed. This is not an
irreversible operation- if you decide that you do not like the reversed
sound, you can re-reverse it back to the original sound.
NOTE: The reverse function does not change any of the other settings in
the EDIT A SOUND screen. For example, the contents of the START and
END fields are not exchanged after a <Reverse> operation.
NOTE 2: As the screen warns, a reverse operation will affect all drums
which are currently using this sound. This is because the actually sample
memory is being reversed. For example, if a single "tom tom" sound is
simultaneously loaded into TOM1, TOM2, TOMS, and TOM4 (at different
tunings) and you reverse the sound in the drum TOM1, then the reversed
sound will play in all four
