Editing a sample

Zooming in/out of the waveform
With the Loop Fine window, you can zoom into a part of the waveform and edit the part in details. Press the [WINDOW] key in the LOOP page, when the cursor is either in the Lp (loop) or End field, and the Loop Fine window will be displayed.

The waveform of the end point is displayed in the left of the waveform display, and the waveform of the loop point in the right, so you can adjust the loop and end points while checking the relationship of the waveform. If you press the [F2] (ZOOM-) key the waveform will be zoomed out, if you press the [F3] (ZOOM+) key, it will be zoomed in.

LINEAR and LOGARITHMIC displays
The vertical axis indicates the waveform�s level. Normally, the waveform display is set to LINEAR, which displays the sample level as it is. However, some parts (fade out part etc�) may not be displayed as the waveform if the level is too low. In this case, you can switch to the LOG (logarithmic) display by pressing the [F5] (LOG) key and you can see the parts whose level is low. When you switch to the LOG mode, the display in the [F5] key will change to LINEAR. To switch back to the LINEAR mode, press the [F5] key again.

Linking the loop point to the start point
When you loop the whole sample (ex: loop the phrase sample to the rhythm), it is better to set the start and loop point to the same value so that you can change both points at the same time. 01. In the LOOP page, select the (start/loop link) field. (locked by the key).

02. Turn the DATA wheel and set the field to changed as well and vice versa.

Loop point is set to the value of the start point. If you change the loop point later, the start point will be If you reset the start/loop link field, you can set the start point and loop point separately.
