Setting and Fine-tuning the Loop Start & End Points

Z4/Z8 User Guide—Version 1.0
3 Press the WINDOW button while the “Mode” parameter is selected.
The Play Mode window appears, enabling you to make detailed settings.
4
Select the parameters and set them as required.
Play mode:
This is the same as the “Mode” parameter on the LOOP page.
Repeat: This parameter specifies the number of repeats for loop playback. With the
“HOLD” option, the Sample continues looping as long as the Note On message is in
effect.
Loop type:
(LOOP IN RELEASE or LOOP UNTIL RELEASE) This parameter deter-
mines how the loop plays when the key is released. When it is set to “LOOP IN
RELEASE,” the Sample continues looping in release even after the Note Off message is
received. When it is set to “LOOP UNTIL RELEASE,” the Sample continues looping
until the Note Off message is received, then the remainder of the Sample is played.
Direction: (FORWARD or ALTERNATING) This determines the loop direction. When
it is set to “FORWARD,” the Sample plays the looped section up to the End point, then
returns to the Start point and continues playing. When it is set to “ALTERNATING,” the
Sample plays the looped section from start to end, end to start, start to end, and so on.
Setting and Fine-tuning the Loop Start & End Points
You can set the Loop Start and Loop End points in the same way as the Start and End
point on the TRIM page.
You can fine-tune the Loop Start and Loop End points in the Loop Fine window.
1
Select the “St” or “LP End” parameter, then press the WINDOW button.
The Loop Fine window appears.
You can view the waveform where the loop points meet. The section of the Sample wave-
form immediately before the Loop End point is shown on the left, while the section
immediately after the Loop Start point is shown on the right. In this way, you can edit the
Loop points while observing the “joint.”
2
Select the “St” or “LP End” parameter, then use the JOG dial to edit the
parameter.
3
Select the “Loop tune” and “Loop lock” parameters, then use the JOG dial
to set the parameters as required.
Loop tune: You can use this parameter to set the pitch of the loop independently of the
Sample’s Tuning parameter. This is useful when you wish to adjust the pitch of a short
loop section from which to build a sustained note.
Loop lock:
When this parameter is set to ON, the loop is locked at the current length, so
that when the “St” parameter is adjusted, the “LP End” parameter is automatically
adjusted in order to maintain the loop length. This is useful when you wish to change the
Loop points without changing the length of the loop.
