How can I tell the specific version of it?
and for the slicing thing, I read on another thread here that the samples can't be longer that 20 char. or it will freeze. I am going to test this. The sample may have been longer than that.
If you go to U.S. homepage download the version on the first page 1.51 the others 1.51t and 1.51v are beta verison that are being tested now so they should have bugs until the official version comes out. The others on the board using the newer O.S. are testers. If you want the stable O.S use just the 1.51 that our machine came with. Plus Using the divided samples to create a sequence/program
You can write the divided regions into memory as independent samples. Then you can
create a new program to which these samples are assigned, and create a sequence that
plays that program.
1. In the Region page, press the [F5] key (EDIT).
The Sample Edit popup window will appear, in which you can use editing commands to
edit the waveform.
2. In the Edit field, select SLICE SAMPLE.
The SLICE SAMPLE editing command cuts the waveform into the divided regions, creating
a corresponding number of new samples.
A Edit field
Selects the editing command.
B Generate sequence field
Specifies whether program/sequence data will automatically be created when you execute
the SAMPLE command (YES), or whether only the new samples will be created
(NO).
C Create new program field
If the Generate sequence field is NO, this specifies whether a program will be created
simultaneously (YES), or whether only the new samples will be created (NO).
Hint: By holding down the [SHIFT] key and pressing the BLOCK CURSOR [†] key, you can zoom-in
on the waveform near the region start point in the waveform display field (lower).
Hint: When you edit the region start point of the second or subsequent region, the region end point of
the preceding region will change simultaneously.
When you edit the region end point, the region start point of the following region will change simultaneously.
1
2
3
4 5
Sample mode
180
D End margin field
When creating the new samples, this specifies how much of the waveform data following
the region end point will be included in each new sample.
E [F1] key (CANCEL)
Cancels the slice command and closes the popup window.
F [F6] key (DO IT)
Executes the slice command and closes the popup window.
3. Move the cursor to the Generate sequence field, and select YES.
If you select YES, a program to which the new samples are assigned and a sequence that
consecutively plays the samples of that program will be automatically created when you
execute SLICE SAMPLE to write the samples.
4. Move the cursor to the Sq field, and select a sequence.
5. Move the cursor to the Tr field, and select a track number.
The new sequence data will be created in the selected track of the selected sequence.
6. Move the cursor to the End margin field, and specify the end margin.
If you set this to 0, the end point of each divided sample will match the region end point.
As you increase this value, the end point of each sample will be moved later than the
region end point. (The start point of the next sample will not change.)
7. Press the [F6] key (DO IT).
The SLICE SAMPLE command will be executed, and a program of the same name as
the previously-selected sample will be created. A track of the same name as the sample
will also be created within the selected sequence.
Hint: By holding down the [SHIFT] key and using the CURSOR [?]/[®] keys, you can change the
numerical place that is modified by the [JOG] dial.
By increasing the value of the End margin field, you can prevent unnatural-sounding silence from
occurring between samples if you play the sequence at a slower tempo.
