After recording your Sample on the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII you will want to take advantage of the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII's Sample editing capabilities.

During the sampling process, unwanted sound often gets recorded at the beginning or end of a Sample. The Truncate function allows you to erase these sections and restore memory to your DJ-70/DJ-70MKII. The easiest way to truncate a Sample is to use the graphic window and set the area to be erased by using markers. Use the following procedure to truncate a Sample:


1. Press JUMP MENU so it is lit.
2. Press F3 to access the Truncate display.
3. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Sample" and press S1.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the Sample you wish to truncate and press S1.
5. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Key On Mode" and use the VALUE dial to select "FromTo."
6. Press GRAPHIC so it is lit. A graphic representation of your Sample will now be displayed.
7. Play the keyboard to hear your Sample.
8. Press F2 and use the VALUE dial to adjust the beginning (FROM) of your Sample as desired. The darkened bar above the waveform represents the portion of your Sample that will playback.
9. Press F3 and use the VALUE dial to adjust the end (TO) point of your Sample as desired. Any portion of your Sample that is not underneath the darkened bar above the waveform will be erased when the Truncate procedure is executed.
10. Press F1 to execute the Truncate procedure. After "Complete" is displayed, play the keyboard to hear the results.
NOTE: You can control how quickly the VALUE dial scrolls through your Sample by pressing F5 (the X parameter). As you press the F5 button, the display will indicate the current resolution of the VALUE dial (1-10,000). A larger resolution number will allow you to scroll through the Sample faster than a smaller resolution.
