Files Usable with SampleEdit

You can use three types of files with SampleEdit: .WAV, .OPL, and .OMP. Of these three,

.WAV and .OPL files can be read for waveform editing. After waveform editing, the files are

saved as .OPL files. The .OMP files are created by assigning .OPL files in the Mapping window

as a list. Creating these .OMP files enables you to use various wave data as instrument sounds.

Waveform Editing Window

The waveform editing window displays the waveform of a read wave file. In this window, you

can edit the waveform—for example, by magnifying and editing it as if you were using a word

processor with commands such as [Cut], [Copy], or [Paste]. You can audition or play the wave

data being edited in various ways—for example, you can produce sounds using the MIDI soft

keyboard, or by pressing the play button in the toolbar.

Parameters Dialog Box

During editing, you can use the Parameters dialog box to set various parameters of the wave

data. For example, you can change the instrument voice by setting the envelope parameters,

or you can add vibrato or tremolo effects by setting the effect parameters. Also, SampleEdit

provides parameters to control tuning and volume so that you can finely tailor the wave data as

an instrument sound.

Mapping Window

In the Mapping window, you can assign edited wave data to a program change number and

download the data (i.e., send the data) to the sound card RAM. This enables the wave data to

be used as instrument sounds by a sequencer such as the MIDI Orchestrator Plus.

About Sample Files

The sample files that will be installed automatically when installing the Sound Edge software

contain various types of .OPL files and .OMP files. By examining these sample files, you

can understand the various possibilities and methods for using SampleEdit. You can

reference these sample files and then make your own original file from scratch or, if there

is a sample file that is close to what you want, you can edit the file to make your own

original file. For details, see page 61.
