1. Recording Samples (Sampling) 2 METER F1] → [Knob 1] [Settings] 1/16 ~ 16/16, 1/8 ~ 16/8, 1/4 ~ 8/4 Specifies the meter (time signature) of the sample. NOTE • The time signature specified here defines the basic number of slices per measure for sample slicing. • The maximum slice resolution for stereo samples is 64 slices, and for mono samples 128 slices. • When the number of slices exceeds 100, the 101st and higher samples will be assigned to the keyboard beginning at C-2. 3 SUB DIVID (Sub Divide Knob 2] [Settings] When METER = 1 ~ 8/4 ........ quarter note (1/1), 8th note (1/2), 8th note triplet (1/3), 16th note (1/4), 16th note triplet (1/6), 32nd note (1/8), 32nd note triplet (1/12) When METER = 1 ~ 16/8 ........ 8th note (1/1), 16th note (1/2), 16th note triplet (1/3), 32nd note (1/4), 32nd note triplet (1/6) When METER = 1 ~ 16/16 ........ 16th note (1/1), 32nd note (1/2), 32nd note triplet (1/3) The METER parameter sets the basic slice unit, and SUB DIVID specifies even finer resolution for phrases containing regions with shorter notes In the example below METER = 4/4 and SUB DIVID = 1/2. NOTE The maximum slice resolution for stereo samples is 64 slices, and for mono samples 128 slices. 4 SLICE TYPE Knob 3] [Settings] BEAT 1~3, PHRASE 1~4, QUICK BEAT 1~3 .........This slice type is suited for percussive phrases such as drums or bass with a fast attack and short decay. 3 variations are provided. PHRASE 1~4 ...Ideal for phrases containing cymbals or other instruments with a long decay. 4 variations are provided. QUICK Regardless of the phrase content, the sample is divided at the specified note sub divisions. The number of slices per measure = (the METER numerator) × (the SUB DIVID denominator). Specifies how the sample is sliced, and to some extent the resulting sound quality. Select the type that best suits the original phrase. See below for tips on selecting the appropriate slice type. [Slice Type Selection Tips] G When slicing percussive phrases with short decay • First try slicing using the BEAT1 type. Try adjusting the slice sensitivity for finer control. • If the result has a weak attack or the release portions of the phrase seem to overlap, try again using the BEAT2 type. Try adjusting the slice sensitivity for finer control. • If after using BEAT1 the attack portions overlap or the rhythmic feel is degraded, try again using BEAT3. Adjust the SUB DIVID parameter for broad control of the slice fineness, and use Sens for final adjustment. G When slicing phrases with a long decay. • First try slicing using the PHRASE1 type. Adjust the SUB DIVID parameter for broad control of the slice fineness, and use Sens for final adjustment. METER = 4/4, SUB DIVID = 1/2 results in 8 slices. 1 measure This parameter is not available when the slice type is BEAT 1~2, and the sample will be sliced on the transients, as shown below. 236 RS7000 1 measure
