About the Slice function

The sound of a saved sample can be automatically divided (“time-sliced”) at intervals of the time axis. A sample sound processed this way is called a Slice Sample.

Slice samples are indicated by a “l l” following the sample number in the display. (For example, “01.l l” means that a slice sample has been saved in 01.) Only a slice sample can be assigned to the Slice Sample part. For details refer to p.30 “Slice.”

About the Resample function

Part sounds, patterns, and songs that you create on the ES-1can themselves be sampled to create a new sample sound. This procedure is called Resampling.

This allows sample sounds processed by effects and delay to be used as a new sample, letting you create samples that have even greater tonal variation. For details refer to p.28 “Directly sampling the sound of the ES-1(Resampling).”

Assigning a sample sound to a sample part

Here’s how to assign a sample (“02.” in this example) to the sample part of a pattern. In this example, we will assign the sample to Sample Part 1 of Pattern A10.

1. Enter Pattern mode and select Pattern A10. (☞“Listening to patterns.”)

2.Press the Sample Part 1 key to select Sample Part 1.

3.Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to make the parameter select LED indicate Sample.

4.Rotate the dial to select the desired sample sound. For this example, select sample number “02.”

5.When you press the Sample Part 1 key, you will hear sample “02.”

Start the pattern. The sound of Sample Part 1 has been changed to the sampled sound.

By doing this, you can change the sample assigned to a part simply by

selecting a sample and pressing the Sample Part key to which you want to assign that sample.

If you wish to save the pattern of the part you just changed, use the Write operation (p.20 “Saving a pattern you create (Write).” If you do not wish to save it, simply select a differ- ent pattern.

If the factory preset patterns or songs are rewritten or erased, they cannot be restored to their original state. If you do not want to lose the factory preset patterns or songs, purchase a SmartMedia card and perform the Save operation (☞p.55) to make a backup.
