• Edit Sample –
Let’s have some fun with the sample now! Tap ‘Edit Sample’ to reveal something similar
to what is displayed below:
As you can see, we are able to edit each sample’s start and end time, as well as their fade in and out time and trim level.
S
amples may be edited by (1) rotating one of the five quick control knobs associated with it (noticing how the base
of the quick control knobs match the color of each parameter) or (2) tapping-and-dragging the sliders left and right.
• Edit Start –
This parameter adjusts the point to where the sample should start playing. It is measured
in milliseconds from the beginning of the file. It ranges from 0 ms [the default] up to a max of 3000 ms.
• Edit End –
This parameter adjusts the point to where the sample should stop playing. It is measured
in milliseconds from the end of the file. It ranges from 0 ms [the default] up to a max of 3000 ms.
• Fade In –
This parameter sets the duration for the sample to fade in. It is measured in milliseconds
from the start point of the sample. It ranges from 1 ms up to a max of 1000 ms (with 3 ms as the default).
• Fade Out –
This parameter sets the duration for the sample to fade out. It is measured in milliseconds
from the end point of the sample. It ranges from 1 ms up to a max of 1000 ms (with 3 ms as the default).
• Trim –
This final parameter sets the attenuation of the recorded sample. It is measured in dB ranging
from –40 dB up to a max of 0 dB [the default].
The settings listed above are non-destructive. What that means is that the entire sample is still there, still
available. Editing simply “edits” the sample to your liking. If you don’t like it and want the entire sample, just
reset the sliders to their default positions.
Tapping any of these slider’s balls twice quickly will set them to their default (except for fade in/out, which will be set
at 1 ms.
The edits are saved simply by tapping the “X” in the upper-right corner. It will return you to the previous view.
Now that you know how to switch between banks, record and/or load samples, name them, add color, assign them playback
modes and edit the samples, it is time to follow the previous steps for the other unassigned sample pads!
At the top of the chapter, we mentioned and displayed the six factory default samples. Guess what? You don’t
have to keep them! Go ahead and make ’em your own! Did you do that and now want the factory default samples
back? Guess what? They’re stored on local memory, so all you need to do is a factory reset.
