Editing a Wave
You can edit a wave in various ways, such as normalizing
its volume or deleting unwanted portions.
Specifying a Wave’s Start and End
(WAVE START/END)
If a sampled wave has unwanted sound or blank space at
its beginning or end, you can specify the start and end of
the portion that will actually be sounded, thus omitting
the unwanted regions.

want to edit (p. 44).

be heard (p. 31).

Press the [ENTER] button.
The setting will be saved, and you’ll be returned to the
KIT PAD screen.
