Sampler functions
You can adjust the relative volumes of A and B by +25dB, using the "scale" parameters.
However, if you put these too high, you may get a distorted sound, so use these with care.
When you've set up the start and end points for both samples, you can
MIX
them together
or splice them
(SPLI
), press the appropriate button. If sample J already contains data, you
will be asked if you want to overwrite it (GO or ABORT). Now wait, as the process will
take a few seconds (depending on the length of the samples, and the amount of
crossfading). When the operation is complete, you can listen to the new sound by pressing
the
ENT/PLAY
button. If you're happy with the new sound, save it to disk, otherwise carry on
joining and mixing till you get the sound you want.
Of course, any loops which were present in the original samples (A and B) will not be
played back when you play back J. You must reset loops in J if you want them.
Though the process of creating the sound you want may take sometime, it's possible you
may discover some new sounds along the way which weren't quite what you were
expecting, but could find a place in later compositions.
ED.2
The ED.2 page (accessed from the EDIT SAMPLE SLCT or JOIN page) allows you to
perform some further sophisticated editing functions. On the PARAMETERS page (the
first one you access when you press the
ED.2
button), the first parameter is the name of the
sample you want to edit. This may be changed with the DATA knob or the
+ / <
and
- / >
buttons.
