Chapter 4. Changing the Sampling Settings
4. Turn the CTRL 2 (BPM) knob to change the BPM value.
If you want to halve the displayed value, turn the knob
to the left; turn the knob to the right if you want to
double the value.
5. Press [TIME/BPM] again.
The [TIME/BPM] light goes out, and the BPM setting is

* Note that when [TIME/BPM] is lit, the CTRL 1 (TIME) knob
then changes not only the BPM, but the sample playback time
as well.
Changing the Length of a Sample
Without Changing the Pitch
(Time Modify)
If you wish to consecutively playback samples which have
the same key (pitch) but a different tempo, you can use the
Time Modify function so that the natural tempo will be
preserved.
* When Reverse Playback (p. 37) is selected, the Time Modify
settings are disregarded, and the effect is disabled. When you
want to use Time Modify, turn Reverse Playback off.

1. Confirm that [PATTERN SELECT] is not lit.
If [PATTERN SELECT] is lit, press it so that the button’s
light goes out.
2. Press the pad to which the sample you want to change
is assigned.
The pad will light, and the sample will sound. This pad
becomes the current pad.
3. Press [TIME/BPM], and confirm that the button has lit.
4. Turn the CTRL 1 (TIME) knob.
The BPM value appearing in the display changes as the
length of the sample is changed.
Turn the knob to the left to increase the length, slowing
down the tempo. Turn the knob to the right to shorten
the sample, which increases the tempo.
When the knob is turned completely to the left, Time
Modify is turned off, and the samples are played at the
original length. (“oFF” appears in the display.)
When the knob is turned completely to the right,
samples are played at the tempo set in the pattern.
(“Ptn” appears in the display.)
* The BPM can be changed over a range from one-half to
approximately 1.3 times a sample's original BPM. However,
the BPM cannot be set outside the range of 40–200.
* When Time Modify is set to Ptn, the sample's tempo changes
according to the pattern tempo only when the pattern tempo is
set in a range from one-half to 1.3 times the sample's original
BPM. When the pattern tempo setting is outside this range,
the sample's tempo is restricted to the value for the upper limit
(200) or lower limit (40).
5. Press [TIME/BPM] again.
The [TIME/BPM] light goes out, and the value setting is
recorded.
* Note that when Time Modify is used with a sample, a rapid
tremor or noise may become audible in the sound.
