About the Sampling
Controls and Parameters
All the parameters available in the sampling programs
are listed below, in alphabetical order. No single pro-
gram has all parameters. Refer to the program des-
criptions for parameter availability.
CAP Key
CAP interacts with the MARK and CAPTURE MODE
parameters. When CAP MODE is set all the way up,
CAP triggers the capture event described by MARK. In
the SME samplers, CAP may also be used to switch
monitoring from playback to source.
Capture MODE
Capture MODE selects the capture mode and trigger
level. When the slider is at the bottom of its range,
MODE is set to IMMEDIATE, which means that captur-
ing is triggered as soon as recording starts. Moving the
slider up selects the audio level for level triggering.
When incoming audio exceeds this preset level, cap-
turing begins.
With Capture MODE all the way up at USE CAP KEY.
Only the CAP key triggers capturing.
CHK Key
CHK is used to audition the entire sample immediately
after it is recorded. The effects of the editing controls
(HEAD TRIM, TAIL TRIM, etc.) are not heard when
CHK is pressed.
CUE Key
CUE is used to audition edits as they are made.

DUB Key
DUB is essentially a CHK play key that also switches on
recording when it starts, permitting overdub (sound-
on-sound) recording.
EDIT Key
Making minute adjustments of HEAD TRIM and FOR-
WARD TIME to get a sample sounding just right can be
tedious. This is especially true with the longer samples
possible with the SME. EDIT speeds up the process by
allowing you to listen to just the relevant portions of a
sample when editing.
EDIT functions as a CUE key, with one important
difference—it only plays two seconds of audio. If HEAD
TRIM was the last control used, EDIT plays the first two
seconds of the sample. If TAIL TRIM was last, EDIT
plays the last two seconds of the sample.
FADE TYPE
FADE TYPE selects between Fast Fade Up and Per-
cussion. Use Fast Fade Up for most sampled material
except percussion. Use Percussion for drum sounds
and percussion.
The SME samplers have a third mode, SCRUB, to
eliminate the fade down that occurs at the end of every
play. In SCRUB mode audio begins at the selected
point, then plays the entire sample memory continu-
ously, This allows rocking the audio back and forth with
the RATE slider without any fade down.
FORWARD TIME
FORWARD TIME selects how much of the recorded
sample to play back (in forward play).
