3. Set the start address in "Start," the loop start address
in "Loop Start," and the end address in "End."
Select Loop Start (highlighted), and use the [VALUE]
dial or other VALUE controllers to modify the value. The
corresponding vertical line will move. Set Start and End
in the same way. In the example shown below, Start is set
immediately before the first waveform, Loop Start is set
immediately before the second waveform, and End is set
as desired.

ZOOM
4. By using the ZOOM button you can change the range
that is displayed. When "Start" is highlighted, zoom
will be performed from the start address.
b
a
Area "a" shown in the illustration displays the entire
sample. Area "b" indicates the region within the entire
sample that is shown in area "c." As you zoom-in on the
time axis, this shows you where the zoomed region is
located within the entire sample. Use the Zoom buttons to
specify how area "c" will show a magnified (zoom-in) or
reduced (zoom-out) view of the waveform.
Use Zero
If the Use Zero check box is checked, only those
addresses where the waveform data crosses the zero level
will be found automatically when searching, and can be
set. This lets you easily make address settings where
noise is less likely to occur when looping.
Truncate
5. If necessary, use the page menu command "Truncate"
to delete unwanted data that falls outside the start (or
loop start) and end addresses.
Select the Front & End radio button.
In this example, we will not change the settings of the
Save to No. and Overwrite check boxes, so press the OK
button to execute.
When you execute this operation, the truncated sample
data will automatically be assigned to the index.
Sampling and editing in SAMPLING mode Editing loops
In the dialog boxes of some page menu items, there is a
Save to No. setting that lets you specify the sample
number to which the edited sample will be saved. At this
time, a vacant sample number will be selected
automatically, so you will change the setting only if you
End
want to specify the save destination number.
If you check Overwrite in the dialog box of the
command, the data prior to editing will be deleted and
overwritten by the edited data. Normally, you will
execute the Write operation without checking this, so that
the unedited data is preserved. When you are completely
c
finished with your editing, you can use the page menu
command Delete Sample to delete unneeded samples.
Using the grid to make loop settings
Grid overlays a grid on the waveform display to indicate the
tempo BPM. This helps you make loop settings that match
the tempo.
You can also view the grid in the Sample Edit page, and use
the grid to edit the waveform to match the tempo.
1. Check "Grid."
The grid will appear in the waveform display.
Set Resolution as desired, and specify the tempo BPM
value.
The grid is displayed according to the playback pitch at
the base key (the key shown in green for "Keyboard").
You can select the base key by holding down the ENTER
button and playing a key.
Press the base key to play the sample, and press the TAP
button at quarter-note intervals along with the phrase.
This will enable Tap Tempo and specify the tempo.
2. Set the end address "End" so that it coincides with a
grid line.
This will make the loop length match the BPM.
If looping is on, the grid is displayed beginning at the
Loop Start. If looping is off, the grid is displayed
beginning at the Start.
3. If you want to hide the grid display, uncheck the
"Grid" option.
