k loop sampler

A sample can be played back in one of two ways. “One
shot mode” plays the sample once from start to end.
“Loop mode” plays the sample repeatedly from start to
end. In addition, you can choose either “Gate mode” which
plays the sample only while you continue holding down
the pad, or “Trigger mode” which plays the sample all the
way to the end when you press the pad once.
Your pad operations can be recorded in an area of memory
called the Pad Tracks. The pad tracks always operates in
synchronization with the recorder. By recording your pad
operations in the pad tracks while you listen to the song
play back, you can use the pad tracks as supplementary
audio track.
The AW1600 also provides a “Slice function” that divides
a sample into eight to sixteen segments, and adjusts the
playback timing of each segment according to the tempo
of the song.
By using the Slice function you can change only the
tempo of a phrase without affecting its pitch.
For example, a sampled drum pattern can be played back
at the tempo specified by the song’s tempo map. (For
details on using the Slice function
→ p. 124)

• Be aware that the pad tracks do not record the sample or audio
data itself, but merely the pad on/off data. (Each such piece of
data is called a “pad event.”) The playback produced by a pad track
will change if you switch to other samples after recording pad
events, or if you change the playback mode.
NOTE
• The settings of the Quick Loop Sampler and the sample data
assigned to each pad are saved as part of the song.
