Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Piano

Sampling and Playing a Melody Sound (Melody Sampling)

Use the procedures in this section to sample a sound and play it as the melody part on the Digital Piano.

Up to five sampled sounds can be stored in Digital Piano memory as tone numbers 671 through 675. Simply select the tone number where the sound you want is located to assign the sound to the keyboard.

To sample a sound

5.Play something on the Digital Piano.

You may not be able to get 10 seconds of sampling if Digital Piano memory is low due to storage of other data. If this happens, deleting other memory data you no longer need will free up memory space and you should be able to sample for 10 seconds. See “Deleting a Sampled Sound” on page E-23 for more information.

Sampling sound and storing it will delete any sound data currently stored under the same tone number. To help ensure that you do not accidentally delete important data, be sure to read “Protecting Against Accidental Deletion of Sampled Sounds” on page E-23.
