Knob 4
[ Turn] Step
This knob selects the increment used for address adjust-
ments made with Knobs 2 and 3. Specifically, the value
that you set here determines the amount that the address
value changes when you turn Knob 2 or Knob 3 by a sin-
gle click.
[Range] x1, x10, x100, x1000, x10000
• The step setting does not appear on the display as
actual numbers, but rather as an underline below the
appropriate digits of the Wave Start Address and
Wave End Address values. Only digits higher than
the underline will be edited.
[ Press] S-CATCH
If you push this knob while playing the sample with the
[AUDITION] button or an external keyboard, the wave
start address (Loop Start Address for Cursor w) auto-
matically resets to the current playback location.
Knob 5
[ Turn] Shortcut Command
Positions the cursor within the pop-up window to select
one of the available shortcut commands.
[Range] EXTRACT..., NORM..., VIEW, E-CATCH
(See "Cursor
q Shortcut Commands" for
details on the commands)
[ Press] EXECUTE
Executes the shortcut command at the current cursor
position.
• EXTRACT...
Push this knob to "trim" the waveform, deleting all waveform data
ahead of the start address and all waveform data located after the
end address. This operation reduces the size of the sample and
frees up additional waveform memory.
When you push the knob, the A5000/A4000 returns a confirmation
screen. Push Knob 5 (>YES) to proceed. Note that the deleted
waveform area cannot be recovered (unless you have already saved
the data to disk.)
• NORM...
This command adjusts the waveform to its optimal level. Adjustment
is made by proportionately raising all levels such that the highest
level comes to just below the clip point, as illustrated below. (The
"clip point" is the maximum level appropriate for digital processing.)
Push Knob 5 (>YES) to proceed.
• VIEW
Alternately switches the waveform display address between the
Wave Start Address and Wave End Address.
• The waveform display will automatically move to the start address
area when Knob 2 is used to adjust the start address, and to the
end address area when Knob 3 is used to adjust the end address.
• E-CATCH
If this knob is pressed during playback triggered either from an
external MIDI device or the [AUDITION] button, the wave address at
that precise point (Loop End Address for Cursor w) will be entered
as the Wave End Address.
[DISPLAY]
q Waveform Display
w VIEWED..... Displays the number of words shown in the expanded
waveform display.
TOTAL........ Shows the total number of words in the sample.
Knob 1 / Knob 4
Same function as Cursor q (page 120).
Knob 2
[ Turn] Loop Start Address
Sets the start point of the loop on the waveform. The con-
cept is illustrated below.
Note that actual loop handling depends on the loop-mode
setting
