Editing Samples
To enter the Sample Editor, first select the program you wish to edit in Program mode. With the
program selected, press the
Edit
button to enter the Program Editor. In the program editor the
KEYMAP page will be selected (if not press the
KEYMAP
soft button.) With the KeyMap
parameter selected on the KEYMAP page, press the
Edit
button again to enter the Keymap
Editor. On the EditKeymap page, select the KeyRange parameter and use the Alpha Wheel or -/+
buttons to choose one of the available key ranges (if there is more than one keyrange.) You can
edit the existing sample of a keyrange, or choose a new sample for the keyrange and edit that.
When the Keymap parameter is selected you can hold the
Enter
button and trigger notes to select
different key ranges.
If you want to select a different sample, use the cursor buttons to select the Sample parameter.
Use the Alpha Wheel to select a sample. Press the
Edit
button once more, and you’ll enter the
Sample Editor. The sample will play through the effects of the current program. The name of
stereo samples end with an
S
. To use a stereo sample, the
Stereo
parameter must be set to
On
in
the Program Editor, and two keymaps must be selected, see
The KEYMAP Page
on page 6-14
for
details.
There are two sample editing pages—MISC (Miscellaneous) and TRIM. The soft buttons for these
pages are visible when you enter the Sample Editor. You can trigger notes at any time while
you’re editing, to hear your changes as you make them. When you have finished editing your
sample or samples, see the preview function on
page 11-18
for a way to automatically create a
program and keymap using a sample or group of sample roots.
The Miscellaneous (MISC) Page
On the MISC page, you’ll set several parameters that affect the behavior of the current sample.
These parameters affect the entire sample. The right side of the top line displays the root number
and RootKey of the sample. For stereo samples,
L
or
R
is displayed after the Root# parameter to
indicate that you are viewing parameters for the left or right channel of the sample. Use the
Chan/Layer
buttons to move between channels of stereo samples. Although you can edit
parameters for the left and right channels of a sample, both channels can only be heard if the
Stereo
Stereo
parameter is set to
On
in the Program Editor, and the same keymap is selected for the
Keymap1 and Keymap2 parameters in the Program Editor. If the
StereoStereo
parameter is set to
Off
in the Program Editor, only the left channel of stereo samples will be heard in mono. If the
sample is part of a group of sample roots, you can also use the
Chan/Layer
buttons to scroll
through each sample in the group. A representative MISC page is shown below:
