2. Press Button 8 to perform the selected audio function
→ The audio function will be performed on the selected region in your Sample, as defined by
the START and END parameters of the SELECTION RANGE section on page 2 (see
↑16.3.1, Using the Edit Page).
These audio processing functions are destructive, i.e. they modify the audio material in
the Sample. However, your original Sample will not be modified: For each audio func-
tion that you perform, a new, distinct copy of the Sample will be saved!
The playback settings of the Sample (e.g., tune, amplitude envelope, etc.) can be ad-
justed on the ZONE page. See section ↑16.5.4, Selecting and Editing Zones in the Map
View for more information.
Available functions are:
Parameter
Description
TRUNCATE This deletes the part of the Sample that is outside of the selected
region.
NORMALIZE This adjusts the level of the selected region to the maximum possible
value without clipping.
REVERSE This reverses the selected region of the Sample.
FADE IN This applies a fade in to the selected region of the Sample.
FADE OUT This applies a fade out to the selected region of the Sample.
FIX DC This removes the DC offset. DC offset (“Direct Current offset”) is an
undesirable constant shift in the signal level that might be
introduced by some audio processing units. This offset can notably
waste some of the available headroom.
SILENCE This silences the selected region of the Sample.
CUT This deletes the selected region from the Sample and places it into
the clipboard for later use.
