I unchecked the unit from receiving a bunch of useless midi data, like program changes, and then it worked perfectly no matter what I threw at it.
Then I saw someone claim the beginning of notes were chopped off when sampling. I've seen that one repeated a lot, too. If you manually set the unit to start sampling before you sample a drum hit, that never happens-- in fact, it can't happen... so much disinformation.
Roland did rather quickly offer a Turbo upgrade. Mine has that. Maybe some units out there don't have it. I've been inside about six or seven of these, and they all had that upgrade.
I think I get what you mean.. Like never start on 0 (like you can on akai) roll it back a few digits cutting.
I think when continue working a level higher it needs to compute that "space" as it were. I always roll a start to get the peak... Not by viewing.. But listening.. If you viewed it it would probably look like you're halfway through a sample. On drums as an example.. Depends on the sound.
I think the start point kind of needs to correlate with the cycle speed. Like to get a good loop. You need the loop set to the same speed (oscillation) as the waveform. I think the same principle for the start time.
