Creating a Sample Set

Modifying Waveforms (Wave)

Sample Number L (Mono)
Sample Number R
This selects the Samples comprising the sample tone. Along with the
Sample number, the Sample name appears at the lower part of the
display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in
stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.
Value: OFF, 0001–2000
If you want to select a left/right pair of Samples, select the left
(L) Sample number and then press [F3 (Set Stereo)]; the right (R)
(Sample) will be recalled.
* When using a sample in stereo, you must specify the same number for
L and R.
Wave Gain
Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6
dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform's gain.
Value: -6, 0, +6, +12
Tempo Sync (Wave Tempo Sync)
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo),
set this to "ON."
Value: OFF, ON
• If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM
(tempo) parameter of the sample.
• If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require
twice the normal number of voices.
Phrase Loop
Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that's
been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One
technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of
a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example
dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase
used as the basic motif. This is referred to as "Break Beats."
Realtime Time Stretch
If the Wave Tempo Sync parameter is turned "ON," you can
vary the playback speed of the waveform without affecting the
pitch.

Modifying Pitch (Pitch)

Tone Coarse Tune (Sample Tone Coarse Tune)
Selects the pitch at which a sample tone sounds.
Value: -48– +48
Tone Fine Tune (Sample Tone Fine Tune)
Adjusts the pitch of the sample tone's sound up or down in 1-cent
steps (+/-50 cents).
Value: -50– +50
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
