The sample may sound slightly different each time it is played.

between the start and end is 40 or less.
Directly sampling the soundof the ES-1 (Resampling)
The sound being played back by the ES-1 can be sampled di-
rectly. This is called “resampling.” By resampling, you can cre-
ate a sample that combines multiple samples, or use the sound
of effects applied to an existing sample as a new sample.
If you have modified the Start, End, or Fade-out values in
Sample mode, or have executed Normalize, Truncate, or
Time Slice, you will not be able to Resample in Pattern
mode until you write the sample or select another sample
to discard the changes.
A newly sampled sample is displayed as “- -.” (or “- -.S”
for a stereo) in Sample mode.
If you sample again without saving the sample, the previ-
ous sample data will be lost.
A sample cannot be used in Pattern mode unless it has
been saved.
It is not possible to record a motion sequence and a
sample at the same time.

Resampling from the beginning of

a pattern or song

1. Make sure that you are in Pattern mode or Song mode.
2. Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.
3. Hold down the Pattern Set key and press the Rec key to enter
sampling-ready mode (the Rec key will light, and the Pattern
Set key and Play/Pause key will blink). The display will blink
to indicate the sampling method (monaural/stereo).
4. Rotate the dial to select monaural (“
n
no”) or stereo (“StE”).
5. When you press the Play/Pause key, the pattern or song will
begin playing, and at the same time sampling will begin. (The
Pattern Set key and the Play/Pause key will light.)
6. When you press the Stop/Cancel key, the pattern or song
playback will stop, and sampling will also stop. (The Pattern
Set key, Rec key, and Play/Pause key will go dark.)
Alternatively if you press the Rec key without pressing the
Stop/Cancel key, sampling will stop but playback will con-
tinue. (The Pattern Set key and Rec key will go dark, and the
Play/Pause key will be lit.)
To cancel sampling-ready mode, press the Stop/Cancel key.
