ZONE mode
The ZONE mode allows you to divide a sample into a number of equal parts (from 1 to 16). This
could be useful, for example, if a 2 bar sample has 4 beats to a bar: dividing the sample into 8
would give you 8 zones of 1 beat each.
Hold SHIFT and press TRIM (or 5 on the numeric pad), then press
ZONE
[F3].
Select the
Zone:
field with the CURSOR keys and press OPEN WINDOW.
Set the number of zones with the DATA wheel.
Press
DO IT
[F5] to return to the ZONE screen.
You can select each zone by turning the DATA wheel while in the
Zone:
field of the ZONE
screen.
Each individual zone can be edited from the EDIT mode (see the EDIT mode section).
Fine Adjustment of the Start Point of a Zone
Select the
St:
field in the ZONE mode screen and press OPEN WINDOW to open the Zone start
fine window.
