Editing Samples

Sample Edit Mode lets you apply various editing processes to sample on a connected SD
card.
Important: You must have an SD card inserted into the SD Card Slot to enter Sample Edit
Mode.
To enter or exit Sample Edit Mode, select the pad with the sample you want to edit, and
then press the Sample Edit button.
To select a different pad, press the Sample Edit button to exit Sample Edit Mode, and then
repeat the process above.
This is an overview of MPX16's display on its Sample Edit screen.
Use the Select +/– buttons to move the cursor between the
different fields, and use the Value Dial to change the currently
selected field's setting or value.
•
Sample Name: Displays the name of the selected sample
from an inserted SD card.
•
Edit Process: Displays the current edit process:
Set Start/End: This process sets the sample's start point and end point. This
o
process affects all pads that have this sample assigned to it. The sample file will
remain unchanged, but the sample will not play any audio before its start point or
after its end point.
Normalize: This process measures amplitude across the sample and adjusts its
o
overall volume so the sample's peak is at 0 dB.
Reverse: This process causes the sample to play backwards.
o
Discard: This process crops the sample, deleting any audio before its start point
o
and after its end point.
Fade In: This process gradually fades in the sample's audio using a logarithmic
o
curve, starting from –∞ dB at the start point and up to full volume at the end point.
Fade Out: This process gradually fades out the sample's audio using a logarithmic
o
curve, starting from full volume at the start point and down to –∞ dB at the end
point.
Stereo>Mono: This process converts a stereo sample into a mono sample. When
o
Left is the source, only the left channel will be used. When Right is the source, only
the right channel will be used. When Sum is the source, the left and right channels
will be summed.
Extract to New: This process uses the sample audio between the start point and
o
end point to create a new sample file. The new sample will have a subsequent
number in its name to distinguish it from the original.
Copy to New: This process copies the sample audio to a new sample file. The new
o
sample will have a subsequent number in its name to distinguish it from the original.
Rename: This process lets you edit the sample's name. If you enter a name of a
o
sample that is already stored on your SD card, you will be asked if you want to
overwrite that sample or return to the previous screen.
Delete: This process lets you delete the sample from the SD card. You will be asked
o
to confirm the deletion or to cancel and return to the previous screen.
