Press the pad that plays the sample whose Gate/Trigger setting you want to change. [GATE] lit: Gate Playback [GATE] unlit: Trigger Playback 2. Omitting Unwanted Portions of the Sample (Marker/Start Point/End Point) For each sample in the JUPITER-6, you can specify the portion of that sample's waveform data that will actually play. The point at which the waveform data will start being played is called the Start Point, and the point at which playback will end is called the End Point. If the beginning of a sample you recorded contains unwanted noise or silence, you can set the Start Point to omit this portion. Similarly, you can set the End Point to omit an unwanted portion at the end. Beginning of the sample End of the sample 3. If [LOOP] is not lighted, and the sample plays to the end, playback will stop automatically and the pad will go dark even if you continue holding down the pad. Playing a Sample Backward (Reverse Playback) Reverse Playback plays a sample backward, creating an effect similar to playing a tape in the opposite direction. Normal unwanted Start point unwanted End point the portion which is played back Reverse playback You can't use Time Modify (p. If you've specified Reverse Playback, the Time Modify setting is ignored. Press the pad that plays the sample whose Reverse Playback setting you want to change. [REVERSE] lit: Reverse Playback Each time you press [REVERSE], the setting will alternate between Reverse Playback and Normal Playback ([REVERSE] unlit). When you set the Start Point and End Point, the BPM (tempo) will automatically be calculated and displayed according to the newly specified duration. Verify that you've set the Start Point and/or End Point ([MARK] is lit). Press [DEL] so it's lit. 2. If the End Point is set at the end of the sample, turning the knob toward the right won't move the End Point. If you decide to discard the change you made, return the CTRL 2 (END) knob to the center position so that the display indicates "0. " 6. Performing this procedure once allows you to move the Start Point or End Point a maximum of approximately 130 ms forward or backward. If you need to move a point farther than this, simply repeat steps 3­6 as many times as necessary. 4. The pad will also blink at this time, but don't press the pad. [DEL] changes from lit to blinking, and "trC" appears in the display. The dot in the display will blink while the operation is being executed. 6. You can't set the Start Point and End Point closer than approximately 100 ms from each other. If the Start Point and End Point both return to the beginning and end of the sample (respectively) as a result of this operation, [MARK] will go dark. Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so may destroy not only the sample being truncated, but also the other samples or the memory card itself. If you move the Start Point or End Point of a sample for which [MARK] is not lighted, [MARK] will light. When you move the Start Point or End Point, the BPM (tempo) of the sample will automatically change accordingly. However, there will be a slight inaccuracy in this BPM value. 32 Chapter 4. Changing the Settings of a Sample Changing a Sample's BPM The BPM (tempo) of a sample is determined automatically by the length of the interval between the sample's Start Point and End Point.
