Compressing/Expanding A Sample According To The Tempo At Which Playback Was Stopped - Roland DiscLab CDX-1 Owner's Manual

Compressing/expanding a sample according
to the tempo at which playback was stopped
While playback is stopped, you can adjust the length of the sample according to the
tempo of the location at which playback was stopped.
This function makes it easy to adjust the sample length to match the tempo of a
sequence track. This provides an easy way by which the length of a sample recorded
in a sequence track can be made to match the length of a measure in that sequence
track.
The tempo at the point that playback is stopped will be one of the following.
• The tempo displayed in "Tempo" of the Rhythm Guide screen.
• If the "Beat" parameter in the Rhythm Guide screen is set to "TEMPO MAP," the
tempo of the Tempo Map.
Since this function needs to accurately calculate the tempo in order to perform a
high-quality compression or expansion, you must first perform the procedure of
"Displaying the correct tempo of a sample" (Owner's Manual; p. 77) to specify
the number of beats in the original sample.
In the case of samples for which it is difficult to calculate a tempo, such as a
narration, vocal part, or a long sustained sound, set the number of beats to 0.
