This is not related to the setting of the REALTIME
CONTROLS C-mode [TEMPO] knob.
3.1–2c: L/R
This is valid only if a stereo sample is selected.
It switches the display between the L channel and R channel
of a stereo sample. ( 2.1–2c)
3.1–2d: ZOOM
These buttons let you zoom-in and zoom-out the "sample
waveform display" in the horizontal axis (sample addresses)
or vertical axis (sample level). ( 2.1–2d)
3.1–2e: UTILITY
For details on selecting utility commands, refer to "2.1–2e:
UTILITY."
"Grid" (2.1–2e)
Truncate
This command deletes unwanted data that lies outside of
the "S (Start)," "LpS (Loop Start )," and "E (End )" (3.1–2d).
After setting the start address, loop start address, and end
address of the sample, use this command to delete
unwanted sample data.
1 Use "SMPL" (3.1–1b) to select the sample that you wish
to edit, and use "S (Start)" or "LpS (Loop Start)" and "E
(End)" (3.1–2b) to specify the editing range.
You can press the [AUDITION] key to hear the portion
that will be left by the "Truncate" command.
2 In the Edit2 page "UTILITY," choose "Truncate" to open
the following dialog box.
3 Range "Start" and "End" will show the range of data that
will be edited.
4 Use "Trancate" to select the portion that will be deleted.
Front & End: The sample data that lies before the "Start"
and after the "End" will be deleted.
Front: The sample data that lies before the "Start" (start
address) will be deleted.
End: The sample data that lies after the "End" (end
address) will be deleted.
5 In "Save to No.," specify the save destination sample
number. By default, an unused sample number will be
selected.
For a stereo sample, "Save to No.(L), (R)" will be
displayed. Specify the save destination sample number
for the L channel and R channel respectively.
6 If you wish to delete the original sample data and over-
write it with the edited sample data, check "Overwrite".
Normally, you will leave "Save to No." at its default set-
ting, and execute without checking "Overwrite." ( p.85
"*": About "Overwrite")
7 To execute the Truncate command, press the [F8] ("OK")
key. To cancel, press the [F7] ("Cancel") key.
Time Slice
Time Slice detects the attacks (e.g., kick and snare) within a
rhythm loop sample (a sample that loops a drum pattern,
etc.), and automatically divides the sample into individual
percussion instrument notes. The divided percussion instru-
ment notes will be created as individual samples, and auto-
matically assigned as a multisample and program. Song
performance data corresponding to the divided samples will
also be created, so that in Multi mode you can adjust the
tempo of the song to change only the tempo of the rhythm
loop without affecting the pitch. Pattern data and RPPR
assignments for the sliced samples can also be created auto-
matically. The performance data that is created will use
notes D2 and above, corresponding to the newly created
samples of individual percussion instruments.
By means of this function in Multi mode RPPR, multiple
rhythm loop samples of differing tempo can be matched to
the desired tempo without changing their pitch ( BG p.74,
75). You can also use the keyboard of a connected MIDI
device to start/stop multiple rhythm loop samples, or use
the REALTIME CONTROLS C-mode [TEMPO] knob to
modify the tempo in realtime.
In addition to changing only the tempo of the rhythm loop
without affecting the pitch, this makes it possible for you to
exchange note numbers, to change the timing, or to edit the
sequence data to freely recreate the original rhythm loop.
The pattern data you create can also be written as SMF data,
allowing you to send note data from an external MIDI
sequencer etc. to the TRITON-Rack to play it.
This command can also be executed on stereo samples.
As an alternative to Utility "Time Slice," the Utility
"Time Stretch" (3.1–2e) command can also be used to
change the tempo without affecting the pitch of a
rhythm loop sample etc. "Time Stretch" is suitable
when you do not need to divide the sample or to create
multi playback data for the divided sample.
