Loop On: Start →End→Loop Start→End→ (Loop
Start →End is repeated)
Loop Off: Start →End
To play the sample, press the key to which the sample
is assigned (the key range that is highlighted in
“Keyboard & Index”).
A sample waveform that was sampled with “Sample
Mode” set to Stereo will be displayed in two levels.
The upper level is the L channel, and the lower level is
the R channel.
3. Specify the start address in “Start,” the loop start
address in “Loop Start,” and the end address in
“End.”
Select Start (highlighted), and use the VALUE dial or
other VALUE controllers to modify the value. The
corresponding vertical line will move. Set Loop Start
and End in the same way. In the example shown below,
Start
is set immediately before the first waveform,
LoopS (Loop Start) is set immediately before the
second waveform, and End is set as desired.
ZOOM
4. By using the ZOOM button you can change the
range that is displayed. When “Start” is
highlighted, zoom will be performed from the
start address.
Area “a” indicates the region within the entire sample
that is shown in area “b.” As you zoom-in on the time
axis, this shows you where the zoomed region is
located within the entire sample. Use the Zoom
buttons to specify how area “b” will show a magnified
(zoom-in) or reduced (zoom-out) view of the
waveform.
Use Zero
If the Use Zero check box is checked, only those
addresses where the waveform data crosses the zero
level will be found automatically when searching, and
can be set. This lets you easily make address settings
where noise is less likely to occur when looping.
Truncate
5. If necessary, use the menu command “Truncate” to
delete unwanted data that falls outside the start
(or loop start) and end addresses.
Select the Front & End radio button.
In this example, we will not change the settings of the
Save to No.
and Overwrite check boxes, so press the
OK button to execute.
When you execute this operation, the truncated sample
data will automatically be assigned to the index.
In the dialog boxes of some menu, there is a Save
to No.
setting that lets you specify the sample
number to which the edited sample will be saved.
At this time, a vacant sample number will be
selected automatically, so you will change the
setting only if you want to specify the save
destination number. If you check Overwrite in the
dialog box of the command, the data prior to
editing will be deleted, and will be overwritten by
the edited data. Normally, you will execute the
Write operation without checking this, so that the
unedited data is preserved. When you are
completely finished with your editing, you can use
the menu command Delete Sample to delete
unneeded samples.
Using the grid to make loop settings
Grid overlays a grid on the waveform display to
indicate the tempo BPM. This helps you make loop
settings that match the tempo.
You can also view the grid in the P1: Sample Edit page,
and use the grid to edit the waveform to match the
tempo.
1. Choose the Grid menu command.
Select the On. Set Resolution as desired.
Press the OK button.
