Sample waveform editing
In the P1: Sample Edit screen you can do the following
things.
• You can set the Edit Range Start and End while
watching the waveform. You can use functions such as
Zoom In/Out, Use Zero, and Grid to edit the waveform
efficiently.
• You can edit the sample waveform using a variety of
commands such as cut, copy, mix, insert, normalize,
volume ramp, and reverse.
• A Rate Convert function lets you lower the sampling
frequency of the sample data in a range of 2/3 to 1/6,
producing “down-sampled” effects.
• The Link function (Link: with crossfade) lets you
connect two samples into one. When doing so, you can
apply a crossfade so that the sustained portion of the
samples will change gradually to create a natural
transition between the two samples.
1. Select the sample that you wish to edit.
Use Sample Select or Index in the P1: Sample Edit page
or the P0: Recording, Recording page to select the
sample.
If you use Sample Select to select the sample, be aware
that the index assignment will also change.
2. Select the P1: Sample Edit page.
The waveform data of the currently selected sample will
be displayed.
Sample waveforms recorded with Sampling Mode set to
Stereo will be shown in two lines. The upper line is the
Left channel waveform, and the lower line is the Right
channel waveform.
3. Use “Edit Range Start” and “End” to specify the
range that you wish to edit.
The selected range will be highlighted.
If you want to audition the selected region, press the Play
button in the LCD or the SAMPLING START/STOP
switch. The selected region will play at the pitch of the
base key (the blue key in the keyboard display). You can
specify the base key by holding down the ENTER switch
and playing a note on the keyboard.
When you play a key to which the sample is assigned (the
highlighted range of the keyboard displayed in
“Keyboard & Pad”), the sample will be played back
according to its loop settings.
The procedure for using the ZOOM and “Use Zero”
check boxes is the same as for P2: Loop Edit.
4. From the list of page menu, select the desired editing
command. Make the appropriate settings in the dialog
box, and press the OK button to execute.
For details on the many sample editing features, see
“Sampling: Page Menu Commands” on page 737 of the
Parameter Guide.
