MEMO
• You can press the pad to produce sound even while
making adjustments.
• For both the [CTRL 1] and [CTRL 2] knobs, turning the knob
toward the left will move the start point/end point toward
the beginning of the sound, and turning the knob toward
the right will move the point toward the end of the sound.
• You can't adjust the playback region beyond the begin-
ning or end of the sample.
• If you decide to cancel the adjustment, return the [CTRL
1] and [CTRL 2] knobs to the center position so that the
indication is "0. "
• The range of movement for a single operation is ap-
proximately 130 milliseconds before or after the current
start point or end point. If you want to adjust the point by
a greater amount, repeat the same procedure.
• You can't set the start point and end point closer than
approximately 100 milliseconds.
• If your adjustment results in the start point and end point
being respectively at the beginning and end of the sample,
the [MARK] button will go out.
• If the [MARK] button is extinguished (i.e., if the playback
region has not been adjusted), adjusting the sample's start
point or end point will cause the [MARK] button to light.
• When you move the start point or end point, the sample's
BPM (tempo) will automatically change accordingly.
However, there will be a small discrepancy in the BPM.
