Sample Recorder
259
Record Folder
Allows you to specify the destination folder for the recorded sample files. If the
Project button is activated, you can define a subfolder or path inside the project
folder.
Naming Scheme
Allows you to set up a naming scheme for the recorded samples. The file name
can be a combination of a text and a selection of predefined elements.
• You can enter the text for the file name in the text field.
• To add one of the predefined elements to the naming scheme, click the
triangle to the left and select it from the pop-up menu.
• You can modify the naming scheme by cutting, copying, and pasting in the
text field.
The resulting name is displayed as an example above the text field.
NOTE
To avoid duplicate file names, a continuous counter is automatically added to the
file name.
Zone Settings
Zone Template
Allows you to select a zone template that is used to create new sample zones.
Playback Mode
Specifies how the zone is played back.
• In Normal mode, the sample starts playing when a key is triggered and
stops when the key is released.
• In One Shot mode, the sample is played back in its entirety, any note-off
events are ignored.
• In Loop mode, the sample is played back in a loop. The loop is set up so
that loop start and end correspond to the start and end of the sample.
Auto Trim
Zero Crossing moves the sample start and end markers automatically to the
nearest zero crossing before the start and after the end of the recording.
Silence automatically removes any silence before the audio starts and after it
ends. The sample start and end markers are set accordingly.
EXAMPLE
Manual Recording
If you set Auto Trim to Off, manually start recording, and play a note on your instrument, the
recording contains silence before and after the recorded audio. This means that you must
adjust the sample start and end markers manually.
