RESAMPLE

[COMMAND/EXIT] Button
Press Knob 4
Applies time stretch and pitch conversion to samples. Time
stretch changes the length of samples without changing their
pitch, while pitch convert changes the pitch of samples with-
out changing their length.
• The command lengthens or shortens the entire waveform. (Opera-
tion is not restricted to the area between the start and end
addresses.)
• Time conversion may produce unexpected results with some sam-
ples. It is recommended that you limit adjustment to 10% in either
direction, except in cases where you are trying to achieve an
unusual effect.
• Following time conversion, the "start address" and "loop start
address" reset to the wave-start address (=0), and the "end
address" and "loop end address" reset to the wave-end address.
