Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital Keyboard

To change the pitch of a sampled sound

While holding down the keyboard key of the sampled sound whose pitch you want to change, use the bs (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to change the pitch.

You can change the pitch within a range of –64 to 63 semitones.

To delete a keyboard key’s sampled sound

While holding down the keyboard key whose sound you want to delete, press bq. In response to the “DelSure?” message that appears, press the bs (10-key) [+] button to delete, or [–] to cancel the delete operation.

Deleting a sampled sound will return the key to its initial default built-in sound.

Example: To delete the sound assigned to key D4

Using a Drum Sampling Tone in Auto Accompaniment

Use the following procedure to change the rhythm part of an Auto Accompaniment pattern to a drum set sound that you sampled.

1.Press bq and then use bs (10-key) to enter the rhythm number of the Auto Accompaniment pattern you want.

You cannot use a Drum Sampling Tone in a user rhythm, so do not select a user rhythm in the above step.

2.Press bp and then use bs (10-key) to enter the tone number of the sampling drum set that contains the sound you want to use.

3.Press bp.

This changes the rhythm part of the Auto Accompaniment pattern you selected in step 1 to the sampled sound you selected in step 2.

To change the Auto Accompaniment rhythm part back to its original sound, press bp again.

Some rhythm part drum sounds cannot be replaced by sampled sounds.

Other Sampling Functions

Changing to a Manual Sampling Start

Normally when the Digital Keyboard is in sampling standby, it will start sampling automatically whenever it detects sound input. You can use the following procedure to enable manual sampling start, which will cause sampling to wait until you press a button to start it. You can use this to insert silence before the sampled sound.

1.Press ct and then use the bs (10-key) [4] ( ) and [6] ( ) keys to display “SAMPLING” (page E-6).

3.Press the bs (10-key) [–] key to turn off automatic sampling start.

This enables manual sampling start, which operates as described below.

Melody sampling (page E-18):

Sampling starts when you release cs, which you press in step 2 of the sampling procedure.

Drum sampling (page E-20):

Sampling starts when you release the Digital Keyboard key you press in step 4 of the sampling procedure.

When manual sampling start is enabled, sampling starts when you release cs or the keyboard key, not when you press it. Sampling does not start if you hold down the button or key.
