S-50 & S-550 REVERSE SAMPLE LOOPING
A Tip For Roland Sampler Owners

     Setting Loop Mode [Reverse] - The sample plays in a reverse direction (from the End point to the Start point) only once

• Press the EDIT button and then press the F3 button (13 TONE PRM)
• Press the SHIFT button and turn the Alpha-Dial to select the sample number you want to edit (11 through 48)
• Press the PATCH button and then press the F3 button (23 COPY)
• Press the -PAGE button
• Use the ARROW buttons and turn the Alpha-Dial to choose the SOURCE & DESTINATION sample numbers (See Figure 1)
• Press the +PAGE button to SET the sample mode (See Figure 2)
• Turn the Alpha-Dial to change the mode to REVERSE
• Press the SHIFT button then press the ENTER button to execute the copy (will briefly display "WORKING")
  • Note: If there is no more room in sampler memory, you may need to delete one or more samples to make room
• Press the PATCH button to return to the Edit Menu to display parameters 11 through 18
• Press the F4 button to select the Loop Mode
• Turn the Alpha-Dial to choose FWD loop
• The new sample will now play back in a continuous‑looping reverse pattern
  • Note: To enable continuous playback, you may need to adjust the envelope settings for RATE & LEVEL so the envelope release will
    gradually taper off at a slower rate. Press the F6 button to edit these settings (See Figure 3). Also, the Loop Point may need to be
    set to a lower value for a longer continuous playback. To adjust the Loop Point, press the F4 button in EDIT mode (See Figure 4)

• For Reference:
  • EDIT button - Calls up choices 11 PATCH PRM, 12 SPLIT, 13 TONE PRM, 14 LOOP, etc...
    • While in Edit Mode, the PATCH button acts as a toggle and calls up choices 21 DELETE, 22 TRUNCATE, 23 COPY, etc...
  • +PAGE or -PAGE button - Will either go forward a page menu or back a page menu
  • SHIFT button followed by the ENTER button - Executes the current command
