4. Sample mode

In this mode you can record (sample) a sound to create a new sample, modify samples in various ways, or delete an unwanted sample.

Sampling procedure on the ESX-1

Here’s the procedure from sampling a new sound to assigning the new sample to a part.

1. Audition the existing samples (☞ p.20)

Listen to the samples that are already saved in the ESX-1; one of them may already be what you want.

2. Record a new sample (☞ p.21)

Sample (record) your new sound. You can either sample an external input sound (☞p.21) or directly resample the sound from the ESX-1 (☞p.25).

3. Edit a sample (☞ p.23)

You can specify the loop points for your sample, and adjust its pitch. You can also adjust the overall level, remove unneeded portions at the beginning and end of the sample, or perform operations such as Slice Sample or Stretch Sample.

4. Save a sample (☞ p.32)

Save the edited sample into the ESX-1’s internal memory. If you want to save the sample on SmartMedia, refer to “Using SmartMediaTM” (☞p.84).

5. Assign the sample to a part

The saved sample can be assigned to one of the parts in a pattern. This is done in Part Edit mode “SAMPLE.” (☞p.44)
