Basic functions
Sampling mode
The following dialog box will appear.
Check
 “Grid,” set “Resolution” as desired, and 
press the [F8] (“OK”) key. The dotted grid lines will 
appear.
Set “
 (Grid Tempo)” to the desired BPM tempo 
value.
Set the end address so that it coincides with a dot-
ted line of the grid.
This will cause the loop interval to be the same 
length as the BPM value.
The grid display will be based at “LpS (Loop Start)” 
if looping is on. If looping is off, the grid will be 
based at “S (Start).”
To hide the grid display, select the Utility menu 
command “Grid”, uncheck “Grid,” and press the 
[F8] (“OK”) key.
The grid is displayed according to the playback

“Keyboard & Index” area).
You can select the base key by holding down the 
[ENTER] key and playing a note on the keyboard.
Sample (waveform data) editing
Editing the waveform data of the sample is done in 2.1: 
Sample Edit. You can use commands such as cut, copy, 
and normalize to edit the waveform data.
Select the sample that you wish to edit.
Use “SMPL (Sample Select)” or “Index” in the 2.1: 
Sample Edit, Edit 1 page or the 1.1: Recording, Sam-
ple page to select the sample. (
If you use “SMPL (Sample Select)” to select the

also change.
Select the 2.1: Sample Edit, Edit2 page.
The waveform data of the currently selected sample 
will be displayed.
The waveform display of a sample that was sam-
pled with a “Mode (Sample Mode)” setting of 
Stereo
 can be switched between the L and R wave-
forms by pressing the [F3] (“L/R”) key. When you 
do so, [L] or [R] will be displayed alternately in the 
upper right.
Use “S (EditRangeStart)” and “E (EditRangeEnd)” 
to specify the range that you wish to edit.
The selected range will be highlighted.
If you wish to hear the sound of the selected range, 
press the [START/STOP] key. The selected range

A note on saving samples
In the dialog boxes of some Utility menu, there is a 
Save to No.” setting that lets you specify the sample 
number to which the edited sample will be saved. At 
this time, a vacant sample number will be selected 
automatically, so you will change the setting only if 
you want to specify the save destination number.
If you check “Overwrite” in the dialog box of the com-
mand, the data prior to editing will be deleted, and 
will be overwritten by the edited data. Normally, you 
will execute the Write operation without checking this, 
so that the unedited data is preserved. When you are 
completely finished with your editing, you can use the 
Utility menu command “Delete SMPL” to delete 
unneeded samples.
In Sampling mode, there is no Compare function 
that lets you compare the data before and after 
editing.
If you wish to preserve the unedited state of the 
multisample or sample, use “Copy SMPL” or 
“Copy MS”

ple or sample before you begin editing it.
For some Utility menu commands in 2.1: Sample 
Edit or 3.1: Loop Edit, you can execute without 
checking
 the “Overwrite” setting in the dialog 
box, so that the sample data previous to editing 
will be preserved.
