1. Recording Samples (Sampling) • If the result has a weak attack or the release portions of the phrase seem to overlap, try again using the PHRASE2 type. Adjust the SUB DIVID parameter for broad control of the slice fineness, and use SENS (Slice Sensitivity) for final adjustment. • If after using PHRASE2 the points at which the slices join sound rough, try again using PHRASE3 and set the SUB DIVID parameter for a finer slice. Adjust the SUB DIVID parameter for broad control of the slice fineness, and use SENS (Slice Sensitivity) for final adjustment. • PHRASE4 is best for sustained strings or brass type sounds with vibrato, as well as vocal phrases. • If after using PHRASE1 the points at which the slices join sound rough, try again using PHRASE4 and set the SUB DIVID parameter for a coarser slice. Adjust the SUB DIVID parameter for broad control of the slice fineness, and use SENS (Slice Sensitivity) for final adjustment. 9 SENS (Slice Sensitivity Knob 4] [Settings] 1 ~ 5 Further adjusts the sub-divisions specified by the SUB DIVID parameter. Higher values result in higher resolution, allowing even finer notes and smaller sounds to be detected and sliced. Use [AUDITION] to hear the results, and if they aren't satisfactory change the setting and try again. NOTE This parameter has no effect when the QUICK slice type is selected. NOTE • The results of a slice operation can be checked by using the [TAP] button to change the BPM and then holding [F2] (AUDITION) to hear looped playback of the sequence. If you need to change the coarseness or fineness of the slices, adjust the SUB DIVID envelope sensitivity and press [F4] (DO!) to re-slice the sample. • If the sliced sample does not connect smoothly, try setting a longer AEG release time. Further if the sample sounds "doubled" try a smaller play effect gate time rate setting. • If the slice operation produces the desired results, execute CREATE (below) to actually create the sequence and Sample Kit Voice. Wave Memory Required for Slice Operations Individual wave data slices created through slice operations required approximately 1.5 times the original memory because a tail section is automatically added and fade-in and fade-out sections are automatically created at the beginning and end of the wave data. This helps to maintain maximum sound quality when the BPM is increased, and results in smoother connections between slices (no tail section is created when the QUICK slice type is selected). Original waveform Fade section 5 Sliced waveform Tail section The Sampling Mode 5 DO F4] Executes the slice operation. The settings can be changed as many times as necessary before pressing [F3] (CREATE). 6 VOICE (Sample Voice Number) The sample voice number to which the sample will be saved. 001 ~ 128 are local sample voices; C001 ~ C128 are common sample voices. 7 AUDITION F2] Hold to hear looped playback of the sequence created by the slice operation. 8 CREATE F3] Creates a Sample Kit Voice from the sliced sample, creates the corresponding sequence in the current track, and then returns to the main display. A memory work area is required for the synthesis calculations carried out for each slice operation, as well as sufficient memory to hold the completed waveforms. When the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz, the approximate amount of memory required for each slice type is listed below.
