Compressing/expanding a sample according to the tempo at which playback was stopped
While playback is stopped, you can adjust the length of the sample according to the tempo of the location at which playback was stopped.
This function makes it easy to adjust the sample length to match the tempo of a sequence track. This provides an easy way by which the length of a sample recorded in a sequence track can be made to match the length of a measure in that sequence track.
The tempo at the point that playback is stopped will be one of the following.
• The tempo displayed in “Tempo” of the Rhythm Guide screen.
• If the “Beat” parameter in the Rhythm Guide screen is set to “TEMPO MAP,” the tempo of the Tempo Map.
Compression/expansion requires more processing time than other sample editing operations. Also, the audio quality of the stretched sample may be inferior to that of the original sample.
Since this function needs to accurately calculate the tempo in order to perform a high-quality compression or expansion, you must first perform the procedure of
“Displaying the correct tempo of a sample” (Owner’s Manual; p. 77) to specify the number of beats in the original sample.
In the case of samples for which it is difficult to calculate a tempo, such as a narration, vocal part, or a long sustained sound, set the number of beats to 0.

Making fine adjustments to the location at which a sample starts/ends
When you arrange samples in a sequence track to create a song, you will sometimes need to make fine adjustments to the sample's start/loop points, or to its length. By using the {Preview function} or {Scrub function}, you can make precise and detailed adjustments while listening to the sound.
Specifying a point while you listen to the sound before and after it—Preview
The preview button [TO] means “To Now” (to the point). Each time you press [TO], a brief region of sound (one second) ending at that point will be played. By turning the TIME/VALUE dial to move the point back and forth while listening to this sound, you can easily make accurate adjustments to the point.
When you press the preview button [FROM], the preview function will play “From
Now” (from the point), allowing you to hear a brief region of sound (one second) beginning at that point.

Using Pads/Sequences while you mix down
You can play sequence tracks and pads while mixing down. This can be done in any combination: for example, you can mix down sequence tracks and pads together with audio tracks, or mix down only pads and/or sequences.
Even if a CD-RW disc is not inserted, you can mix down just pads/sequences if internal memory contains pads/sequences.
* When you mix down using pads/sequences, the time available for the mixdown will be the remaining amount of sampling memory.
For this reason, if you need to perform lengthy mixdowns, we recommend that you expand the memory. The time available for mixdown can be checked in the Song Information screen (Owner's Manual; p. 39).
When CD recorder screen or
CD player screen is appearing, you cannot switch to mix down eves pressing [MIX DOWN].
If you mix down without a
CD-RW disc, the “Data Type” will be “Standard.”
1. Press AUDIO TRACK RECORD [MIX DOWN].
If the pads/sequences contained in the CDX-1’s internal memory, a message of
“Also use PAD/SEQ for Mixdown?” appears, [MIX DOWN] blinks.
If you press [YES/ENTER], you will be able to use pads/sequences, and
[MIX DOWN] will light.
If you do not want to use pads/sequences, press [NO/EXIT]. For the subsequent steps, refer to step 1 of “Mixing down” (Owner's Manual; p. 133).

7. When mixdown is finished, press STOP [ ].
The screen will ask “Do you want to burn a CD? “
If you want to create an audio CD, press [YES/ENTER] and continue with the procedure “Writing to a CD-R disc” (Owner’s Manual; p. 135).

If you mix down without a
CD-RW disc, step 3 will not be necessary.
A sequence track and its corresponding audio track cannot be played back simultaneously. If you are unable in step 3 to select an audio track that you want to mix down, you must first exchange sequence tracks so that the desired tracks can be played back simultaneously.

Mastering Tools
The mastering tools are a convenient set of tools that divide the sound into highfrequency, mid-frequency, and low-frequency ranges, and make the volume consistent so that the audio CD can be created with the optimal levels.
You can also edit the mastering tool settings in the
CD Burning screen or CD
Recorder screen. However, it will not be possible to audition the results of the mastering tool before writing to the CD-R disc.

This parameter sets the overall volume before entering expander/compressor.
This parameter sets the length of delay to add to the direct sound input.
This parameter sets the frequency at which the direct sound is split into three bands (on the low frequency band side).
This parameter sets the frequency at which the direct sound is split into three bands (on the High frequency band side).
Effect of “Input Delay” under Input
With ordinary compressors, a moment of delay occurs to suppress a level over instance after it has been detected. With Mastering Tool, this problem is bypassed by using the input sound only for level detection and adding a specified length of delay to the sound for processing and output. “Input Delay” under Input is the setting of the delay time for this purpose. Note that supplying Delay Time causes time difference between input and output of audio signals.
Splitting into frequency bands
To split into High, middle and low frequency bands, “Low
Split Freq” (Low Split Frequency) and “High Split Freq”
(High Split Frequency) under Input are used to specify frequencies.

*1 If “Low Type” or “High Type” is set to “SHELV” (Shelving Type), the setting for “Lo Q “or “High Q” is invalid.
*2 With Compressor (COMP), the level is automatically adjusted to the optimal with the settings for “Threshold” and “Ratio”. Setting
“Attack” to a relatively long time may cause distortion. For this reason, a margin of -6 dB is provided. Adjust the Mixer (MIX) level as required.
