EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual Section 6 — Wave Parameters
Note: When using the MAKE LOOP LONGER, SYNTHESIZE LOOP, or CONVERT
SAMPLE RATE commands, you should select only the layer that contains the
Wavesample you want to work on. If there are copies of the Wavesample you are
editing elsewhere in the instrument, the EPS-16 PLUS will display the COPIES
WILL CHANGE-OK? message.
For instance, if you try to execute the convert sample rate command and the
COPIES WELL CHANGE-OK? message appears, it is possible the conversion
may produce apparent pitch problems. This is because the pitch parameters
haven't been converted yet. However, they will be converted once you decide to
choose KEEP=NEW. With the MAKE LOOP LONGER and SYNTHESIZE
LOOP commands, the loops may sound odd until you choose KEEP=NEW.
If you are having a hard time getting a satisfactory loop—after you've tried the
other looping commands—try making the loop longer. This process physically
enlarges the loop, making the periodicity of the loop less noticeable. However,
there is a trade-off: longer loops use more memory. The default and manual
values are the same as the cross fade. This is not recommended for bidirectional
loops.
• Select MAKE LOOP LONGER. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads USE DEFAULT VALUES? Press Enter•Yes.
• Pressing Cancel•No displays the manual values: SCALE DEPTH=## DB,
FADE ZONE (PERCENT)=##. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads KEEP=OLD NEW. Press Enter•Yes to complete the
command (or Cancel•No to keep the original).
