By pressing [TRACK] + [BANK] the sample assigned to the machine of the track will be
opened in the audio editor. Note that the track must contain a Flex or Static machine for this

AUDIO EDITOR FUNCTIONALITY
The audio editor contains five subpages. While in the audio editor the [TRACK PARAME-
TER] keys function as soft keys for selecting the subpages. At the top of the menu window
the name of the sample being edited is shown.
TRIM
This is the default page when opening the audio editor. Otherwise, access by pressing
[PLAYBACK] while in the audio editor. In this subpage samples are trimmed and loop
points set.
