DR. Sample Adjusting the Start and End Point
After creating a sample, you may decide to change its start and end point�the SP-303 can easily set new start and end points. Use the following procedure: 1. Press PATTERN SELECT so it's not lit. 2. Press the pad you want to edit. The pad lights, and the sample sounds. 3. Press START/END/LEVEL so it's lit. 4. At the location where you wish to set the start point, press MARK. MARK blinks and �---� appears in the display. 5. At the location where you wish to set the end point, press MARK again. MARK lights, indicating that the process is finished. Note: If the setting was not made as desired, press the lit MARK button while the sound is still playing to make it go dark, and re-do the procedure.

Deleting Unwanted Portions (Truncate)
When you specify Start/End Points, unused waveform data may remain, taking up valuable memory space. By deleting this unwanted data, you can make more efficient use of memory. 1. Press PATTERN SELECT so it's not lit. 2. Press the pad you wish to truncate�the pad lights and the sample sounds. If Start and End Points have been set, MARK should be lit. 3. Press DEL so it's lit. Although the pads also blink at this time, don't press the pads. 4. Press MARK. �trC� should appear in the display. 5. Press DEL and it lights. The dots in the display blink. During the truncate process, all pads from 1 -8 light up, and then turn off, starting with Pad 1, indicating the progress of the truncation procedure. When the dots stop blinking and remain off, truncation is complete. Note: Please note that truncation takes some time. Never turn off the power while the dots are blinking. This may result in corruption not only of the sample currently being truncated, but may also damage other samples as well as the memory card.
