The Extend procedure
Re

A MIDI Groove with the original pattern will also be
generated. The screen will change, to show slices sepa-
rated by vertical lines:
4.
Test the generated sliced drum kit on the keyboard.
• To test the full pattern at different speed, play a note from
C2 (half speed) to C3 (original speed). See table above.
• To test the single sliced samples, play notes from C#3 and
above. If you play a full chromatic scale, the original pat-
tern will be sounded.
Hint:
If too many samples have been generated, and the key-
board can’t fit them all, use the OCTAVE buttons to trans-
pose the keyboard, and listen to samples exceeding the upper
limit.
5.
If the Slice didn’t produce satisfactory results, adjust the
Release parameter. If this does not produces good results,
try adjusting the Threshold parameter, too. After adjusting
the Release parameter, you must execute the Time Slice
again.
6. Since a tempo value rounding happens when making a
Time Slice operation, and the loop may not be accurate,
you may need to adjust both the “Start” and “End” parame-
ters of the “Sample Edit > Edit” page, to make the groove
loop flawlessly. After editing these parameters, you must
execute the Time Slice again.
Go on experimenting different settings! Editing an audio
groove is a pure matter of experimentation.
7. When the Slice is completed, you can save the sliced sam-
ples and the MIDI Groove, or use the Extend function to
improve the quality of the slices.
Select the Write command from the page menu. The Write
Slice dialog box will appear (see “Write Slice dialog box” on
page 249). Assign a name to the new Sound, and save it to
an User Sound location.
A MIDI Groove with the same name will also be saved to
the internal memory. Be warned, that this area will be
deleted when turning the instrument off. Convert it to an
internal Style pattern, by using the Import function of the
Style or Pad Record mode, before turning the instrument
off.
• To improve the quality of the slices, use the Extend func-
tion (see “Extend” below).
8.
After saving, you may press RECORD to exit the Sampling
mode.
9.
After exiting the Sampling mode, you may load the gener-
ated MIDI Groove by using the Import function of the
Style Record mode (see “Import > Import Groove” on
page 161 for more information).
The Extend procedure
1.
Set the
By
parameter, according to the tempo of the groove
you will use. If you will slow down the groove very much,
assign higher values to this parameter, otherwise you may
assign lower values.
2. Select the Extend Mode . “Long” is more suitable for cym-
bals.
3. Select the Extend command.
4. After the Extend operation is complete, test the full pattern
at different speed, by playing notes from C2 (half speed) to
C3 (original speed). See table on page 244.
5. If the Extend didn’t produce satisfactory results, change the
settings. Any previously made change will be deleted.
6. When the Extend is completed, you can save the sliced and
extended samples and the resulting MIDI Groove to the
internal memory.
Select the Write command from the page menu. The Write
Slice dialog box will appear (see “Write Slice dialog box” on
page 249). Assign a name to the new Sound, and save it to
an User Sound location.
A MIDI Groove with the same name will also be saved to a
reserved area of the internal memory. Be warned, that this
area will be deleted when turning the instrument off. Con-
vert it to an internal Style pattern, by using the Import
function of the Style Record mode, before turning the
instrument off.
7. After saving, you may press RECORD to exit the Sampling
mode.
8. After exiting the Sampling mode, you may load the gener-
ated MIDI Groove by using the Import function of the
Style or Pad Record mode (see “Import > Import Groove”
on page 161 for more information).
