12. Using the Built In Sampler:

Your CDI-500™ comes with an advanced built in sampler. You may store up to four samples in the four BANK

BUTTONS (12). Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT or a SAMPLE into a BANK

BUTTON (12), not both. Your sample can be a maximum of 6.5 seconds in length. A sample can be recalled

while a CD is playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, you may even play a sample when the CD has

been removed. You may play your sample at anytime without music interruption. If you play your sample when

the unit is already in playback mode you sample will over lap the current music source. You can also play your

sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approximately 508 (127 x 4) samples in

a drives memory (depending on available memory). The MEMORY BUCKET (39) on the LCD DISPLAY (30) will

approximate the remaining memory.

1) Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 18 and 19). If your loop is longer than 6.5 sec-

onds it can not be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.

4) The yellow MEMORY BUTTON (16) LED will turn off, when your sample is

locked into memory.

5) At this point your sample has been stored into memory. The original loop you

used to create the sample will remain playing until the OUT BUTTON (24) is

pressed (Figure 25).
