k loop sampler

A sample can be played back in one of two ways. “One 
shot mode” plays the sample once from start to end. 
“Loop mode” plays the sample repeatedly from start to 
end.

In addition, you can choose either “Gate mode” which 
plays the sample only while you continue holding down 
the pad, or “Trigger mode” which plays the sample all the 
way to the end when you press the pad once.

Your pad operations can be recorded in an area of memory 
called the Pad Tracks. The pad tracks always operates in 
synchronization with the recorder. By recording your pad 
operations in the pad tracks while you listen to the song 
play back, you can use the pad tracks as supplementary 
audio track.

The AW1600 also provides a “Slice function” that divides 
a sample into eight to sixteen segments, and adjusts the 
playback timing of each segment according to the tempo 
of the song.
By using the Slice function you can change only the 
tempo of a phrase without affecting its pitch.
For example, a sampled drum pattern can be played back 
at the tempo specified by the song’s tempo map. (For
