Auto Loop Find Functions

The Auto Loop Find function can find the optimum loop points automatically.
In the Loop Fine window, press "FIND."
1
The Find Loop Point window appears.
Press "START" to search for an optimum Loop Start point, and press "END"
2
to search for an optimum Loop End point.
The Auto Loop Find function helps you set Loop points. If you cannot find the optimum
Loop points, set the point manually or try to set the crossfade Loop.

Crossfading Loops

The Crossfade function applies a crossfade at the loop point, which can make the transi-
tions at the Loop Start and Loop End points less noticeable. This is especially useful if
you have a loop with audible clicks.
1 On the LOOP page, press "X-FADE."
The X-fade loop window appears, as shown below.
2 Select the "X-fade length" and "X-fade curve" parameters, then use the
JOG dial to set them.
X-fade length:
X-fade curve:
Press "DO IT."

The edit is performed, and the KEEP or RETRY window appears.
You can listen to the Sample without any crossfade by pressing ">ORIGI" and audition
the processed Sample by pressing ">NEW." To discard the processed Sample and return
to the X-fade loop window, press "RETRY." See "Sample Edit" on page 33 for informa-
tion on the "Assign" parameter.
