Phrase editing (Scope Editor)
The scope editor lets you edit the performance data within a frame. By using the scope editor you can
visually edit pitch, time, and formant data for any location within a phrase.
The scope editor will be either the Phrase Scope or the Groove Scope, depending on the keyboard map
(p. 60) setting in the sample list.
Since you can edit while listening to the playback loop, you can hear the results of your editing while
you work. In addition, it’s easy to restore a phrase to its previous state, so you can repeat cycles of trial
and error as many times as you like.
■ Phrase scope
The Phrase Scope will appear when you edit a frame that was pasted with the sample’s “Keyboard
Map” set to (Phrase Map). As its name suggests, the Phrase Scope interprets the performance data
within the frame as a phrase, and is used mainly to edit melodic elements of the phrase. For example,
in the case of a vocal sample, you can change the melody line or even add harmony to turn the sound
into a chord. This technique is particularly powerful when applied to single-line samples such as
vocals.

■ Groove scope
The Groove Scope will appear when you edit a frame that was pasted with the sample’s “Keyboard
Map” set to (Groove Map). The Groove Scope interprets the performance data within the frame
as a rhythm pattern, and is used mainly to edit rhythmic elements.
For example, in the case of a drum pattern sample, each slice (a waveform region divided by events)
will be a drum sound such as bass drum, snare, etc., and you can re-configure the drum pattern by
changing the time location of these slices.
This is particularly useful when used on rhythm part samples such as drum patterns.
