105 Prophet X User’s Guide Using Sampled Instruments
Manipulating Samples and Loops
Another way to create something new from an existing instrument is to
edit the sample itself, by changing its sample start, end, loop attributes,
or reversing it. This applies the changes to all samples in the instrument.
Not all samples in the internal library are looped. But you can activate a
sustain loop in any sample/instrument by pressing the
loop
button (if it’s
not already on) and adjusting loop attributes as necessary. In a sustain
loop, the loop repeats as long as you hold down a key.
Reversing a sample
One simple way to change the sound of a sample is to reverse it.
To reverse a sample:
1. Recall the Basic Program and turn Oscillator 1 level down to 0.
2. In the Sample Playback section, use the
type
knob to select
percussion
.
3. Use the
instrument
knob to select
assorted bongos
and play a few
notes.
4. Press the
reverse
button. Play and hold a few notes again to hear the
difference.
Because most of the samples have long “tails” (which are now the start
of the sample) you have to hold down the keys long enough to hear the
samples now that they are reversed. You can adjust the beginning and
end points of the samples if you want to accommodate for this. You’ll
learn how in the next example.
