Sampling will stop.

Even if you do not press cr and 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.

7.Press the keyboard key.

You can repeat steps 3 through 6 to change other sounds that make up the currently selected drum set. There are eight sounds per drum set.

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-26 for more information.

Sampling a sound will delete any sound data currently assigned to the same keyboard key. 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-26.
