Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Keyboard

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 Keyboard.

•Up to five sampled sounds can be stored in Digital Keyboard memory as tone numbers 571 through 575. Simply select the tone number where the sound you want is located to assign the sound to the keyboard.

To sample a sound

1.Press bp and then use bs (10-key) to enter the tone number (571 to 575) where you want to store the sampled sound.

3.Output the sound from the external device. In the case of a microphone, output the sound in the direction of the microphone.

Sampling will start automatically.

4.After the sound you want to sample is finished, press cs.

Sampling will stop when you release cs.

•Even if you do not press cs, sampling will stop automatically whenever there is no more sound being input from the external device or microphone. Sampling also will stop automatically 10 seconds after it is started.

5.Play something on the Digital Keyboard.

•You may not be able to get 10 seconds of sampling if Digital Keyboard 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-24 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-25.
