Sampling and Sample Editing
Editing Samples
15-13
Loop Switch
This parameter activates or deactivates the looping of the currently selected sample. When set
to On, the sample will loop according to the settings on the LOOP page. When set to Off, the
sample will play through to its End point and stop.
Playback Mode (Playback)
This parameter lets you modify the direction in which the sample is played. Set it to a value of
Reverse if you want the sample to play from its End point to its Start (S) point. Choose a value
of Bidirectional to cause the sample to play from Start to End, then reverse direction and play
again from End to Loop and back, repeating until the note trigger is released (this works only
when the Loop Switch parameter is set to On).
Alternative Sample Sense (AltSense)
This provides a convenient way to activate the alternative start of a sample. When set to
Normal, the alternative start will be used when the Alt Switch control is On (this is set on the
KEYMAP page), or when the control source assigned to it is above its midpoint. When set to
Reverse, the alternative start will be used when the Alt Switch control is Off, or when the
control source assigned to it is below its midpoint.
Ignore Release (IgnRelease)
When set to a value of Off, the sample will release normally when the note trigger is released.
When set to On, the note will not release, even when the note trigger is released. This setting
should be used only with samples that normally decay to silence; non-decaying samples will
play forever at this setting. This parameter is equivalent to the IgnRelease parameter on the
LAYER page, but affects only the currently selected sample.
Sample Size and Sample Rate
These are not editing parameters. TheyÕre put on this page to give you a convenient place to
check the size in Kilobytes of the current sample, and the rate at which it was sampled.
TRIM
The TRIM page lets you set the Start, Alt, Loop, and End points of the current sample. The top
line tells you whether youÕre editing a ROM or RAM sample, and indicates the zoom setting. At
the left of the display is the Gain (display magniÞcation) setting. This Gain setting doesnÕt
affect the amplitude of the sample, just the view in the display.
In the diagram below, the sample points are expressed in individual sample elements. Pressing
the Units soft button (or the Quick Access mode button) will display them in seconds.
