Truncation shortens a sample's length by trimming off individual
samples from the beginning and/or end. Truncation is most often used to
remove unneeded portions of a sample to conserve memory, but it can
also be used to change instrument characteristics such as removing the
attack from a plucked string note or isolating a particular section of a
sample.
1. Activate Digital Processing module.
2. Select Submodule 3.
3. Truncate the desired amount of samples from the start on line
two and/or the end on line three, then press ENTER.

Start:

Size:
The sample size equals the difference in samples between the start and
end points. Because of this, these settings interact with the size value on
line four in these ways:
• Truncating the Start will cause the size to change to maintain a
constant End Point.
• Truncating the End will cause the size to change to maintain a
constant Start Point.
4. If you are not satisfied with the resulting truncation, or want to
compare before and after, proceed to Digital Processing, 9.
Undo.
Portions of a sample can be cut, copied, and pasted to other samples, or
the samples from which they came. The Copy function allows you to
duplicate a section of a sample, and store that duplicate in a special part
of memory called the clipboard. For more information see the section
Background: Cut, Copy, Paste, and Undo.
