6) Editing a Seamless Loop
Once a Seamless loop has been created you can edit the ‘OUT’ point to make the loop longer or shorter. To edit the loops
length, follow these instructions:
1) Shortening the Loop – To shorten a loop you will need to exit loop mode first by pressing the ‘OUT’ button near the
beginning of the loop (watching the time display on the LCD will give an indication of the start of the loop) you will
then need to press the ‘OUT’ button once more to set a new end point, the play will return into loop mode with the
new end point set.
2) Lengthening the Loop – To lengthen a loop you will also need to exit loop mode first by pressing the ‘OUT’ button.
You will then need to press the ‘OUT’ button once more to set a new end point, the play will return into loop mode
with the new end point set.
Once the loop has been set a loop can be re-entered at any time during the same disc by pressing the Reloop button (5) in
the seamless loop section. Pressing the Reloop button rapidly will create a stuttering effect.
7) Recording a Sample
The CD-S6 Ultima has a built in sampler which will store up to four 6.5 second samples to the Memory Bank buttons (15)
(note: the memory bank buttons can be assigned as either a sample or a cue point not both, although when a sample is
saved the beginning of the sample will also now become a cue point) the sample can be recalled while the CD is playing,
while the player is in pause mode via the remote start, or when the CD has been removed. The sample will also play
continuously in a loop with out music interruption. If the sample is activated when a current track is playing, the sample will
overlap that track. To record a sample, follow these instructions:
1) Firstly you must create a loop, see the creating a seamless loop section. (Note: If your loop is longer than 6.5
seconds it cannot be stored as a sample and will automatically store as a Cue point).
2) Press the Memory Button (15) this will glow blue on activation.
3) Press the desired Bank button 1, 2, 3, or 4 (15) you wish to save the loop in.
4) The Memory Button (8) will turn off when your sample has saved to memory (Note: the original loop used to create
the sample will remain playing until the ‘OUT’ button is pressed (4))
5) Your sample can now be recalled at any time. To recall the sample press the Sampler Button (7) this will glow
green to indicate it is active.
6) Pressing the Bank Button (15) where the sample is saved will start the sample playing. The sample will now play in
a continuous loop until the Sample Button (7) is pressed again to de-activate the sample.
8) Using the Sampler Program Play (Bank.P (22))
The sampler program play allows the user to program the order in which the programmed samples will play for instance if
banks 1-4 all have a sample programmed, using this function will allow the user to decide which order they will play in
creating a seamless loop of up to 12 programs. To program the samples, follow these instructions:
1) Once you have saved your samples, see 7) recording a sample press and hold the BANK.P button (22) for a few
seconds until +1 flashes on the LCD screen (35)
2) Next press the desired bank button 1-4 (15) with the sample you want to play first. The LCD will then flash +2
3) Follow in the order desired up to +12 by pressing the bank button 1-4 (15) in any order.
9) Changing the Sample Parameters
The CD-S6 Ultima offers the facility to change the volume (SR) and pitch (SP) your recorded sample. These changes can
either be a momentary change or a set adjustment. Follow these instructions to edit the samples parameters:
1) To change the samples volume (SR) – while the sample is playing push the Parameter Ratio Control (21) once.
The LCD display (35) will display SR 00 00 the volumes default value. Turning the knob in a counter – clockwise
direction will decrease the volume of the sample, clockwise will increase the volume.
2) To change the samples pitch (SP) - while the sample is playing push the Parameter Time Control (20) once. The
LCD display (35) will display SP 00 00 the pitch default setting (normal playback) Turning the knob in a counter –
clockwise direction will decrease the pitch of the sample, clockwise will increase the pitch.
3) To set the adjustments permanently you will need to use the ‘HOLD’ function (27) if the hold function is not
activated all the parameter adjustments will be momentary. If the ‘HOLD’ function is activated the parameter
settings will remain in the units memory until they are changed again or the main power is turned off, unless of
course they are stored to the IMS (See section ‘Saving to the Intelligent Memory System).
