Regions are sections into which a Sample is divided. The Start and End points of each region appears as markers in the upper part of the waveform. The selected region is highlighted as shown below.

The Number of Regions window appears, as shown below.

In the Number of Regions window, you can change the number of regions and adjust for the Regions setting.

you want to divide into Regions. When the parameter is set to �LOOP,� the section between the speci�ed Loop Start and Loop End points is used to create Regions.When it is set to �TRIM,� the section between the speci�ed Start and End points is used to create Regions. And when it is set to �SAMPLE,� the entire Sample is used to create Regions. Number of regions: (1�32) This determines the number of Regions.

The Number of Regions window closes.

Adjusting Region Start & End Points
You can adjust the Region Start and End points in the same way as the Start and End points on the TRIM and LOOP pages. However, since the Start point of each Region is the same as the End point of the previous Region, adjusting the Start point of the current Region also adjusts the End point of the previous Region. Likewise, adjusting the End point of a Region also adjusts the Start point of the subsequent Region.
