About the COMMANDS Knob 4 [ Turn] Map From Sets the original note for the divided samples. The samples are mapped with the first sample at the specified note and the following samples at successively higher notes. [Range] C-2 - G8, off [ Press] MIDI When this knob is pressed the parameter can be directly set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external MIDI device. See page 82. Knob 5 [ Turn] Map Key Determines whether samples will or will not be assigned to black keys. [Range] white, all • white ... Samples will be assigned only to white keys. • all ... samples will be assigned to all keys (white and black). [ Press] EXEC&CONT Press this knob to call the loop divide confirmation display. Press Knob 5 (YES) to actually execute the loop divide operation. RESAMPLE [COMMAND/EXIT] Button → Knob 1 to highlight display line 3 → Press Knob 4 Applies time stretch and pitch conversion to samples. Time stretch changes the length of samples without changing their pitch, while pitch convert changes the pitch of samples without changing their length. • The command lengthens or shortens the entire waveform. (Operation is not restricted to the area between the start and end addresses.) • Time conversion may produce unexpected results with some samples. It is recommended that you limit adjustment to 10% in either direction, except in cases where you are trying to achieve an unusual effect. • Following time conversion, the "start address" and "loop start address" reset to the wave-start address (=0), and the "end address" and "loop end address" reset to the wave-end address. [Operation] 1. Select the Resample Type. 2. Select the sample to be resampled. 3. Set other parameters as required. 4. Press Knob 1 (EXEC) or Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT), and the resam- ple confirmation display will appear. Press Knob 5 (YES) to execute the resample operation. • The content of this display will vary according to the selected Resample Type. • If Knob 1 (EXEC) is used to execute the command, the display previous to the command menu will be recalled after execution has finished. If Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) is used to execute the command, the resample display will be retained so you can continue and perform further resample operations.

Knob 2 [ Turn] Resample Type Determines the type of resample processing to be applied to the selected sample. [Range] TimeStretch(tempo), TimeStretch(length), TimeStretch(beat), TimeStretch(time), PitchConvert • TimeStretch(tempo) ... Time stretch with the resultant sample length being based on a specified tempo. • TimeStretch(length) ... Time stretch with the resultant sample length being based on a specified wave-data length. • TimeStretch(beat) ... Time stretch with the resultant sample length being based on a specified beat (beats per playback time). • TimeStretch(time) ... Time stretch with the resultant sample length being based on a specified playback time. • PitchConvert ... Conversion to a specified pitch.
