Getting chopped samples out of "MARK" mode

Post by Andean »

I want to know if there is a way to save a sample I've chopped, and get rid of the MARK light cause it seems to revert my looping samples back to the original entire sample when I press it or somehow trigger it otherwise. It is very annoying to get a good loop going and then it gets ruined and I have to find the exact point of looping again. I dont really see anyway to resample it and get the loop the first time without chopping it and thus being "on the edge of the MARK BUTTON LOOP DESTRUCTION"....

Thanks

Press sample pad, DEL, mark and DEL. It deletes everything on the pad other than the marked section so be careful.

I'm quite surprised people don't know this. I discovered it by accident on the 303 and now rediscovered it in the 404SX manual.

Sure! Even the 202 can do this :-)
