American Audio Pro-Scratch 2 manual Using the Built In Sampler, To create a sample

BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)

12. Using the Built In Sampler:

Your Pro-Scratch 2™ comes with an advanced built in sampler. You may store up to three samples on the three FLASH BUTTON (8) (Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT or a SAMPLE into a FLASH BUTTON (8), 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 384 (128 x 3) samples in a drives memory (depending on available memory). The MEMORY BUCKET (55) on the LCD DISPLAY (19) will approximate the remaining memory.

To create a sample:

1)Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 17). If your loop is longer than 6.5 seconds it can not be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.
