Sampling and editing in Sampling mode

In Sampling mode, you can record samples, and edit sam- ple data that you sampled or loaded from media (includ- ing WAVE and AIFF formats). You can also assign the edited samples to indexes (zones) to create a multisample.

For an example of sampling, refer to p.37–.

Here we will explain sampling operations that are specific to Sampling mode, and how to edit a multisample or sam- ple.

Creating multisample indexes and sampling

Here’s how to create indexes for a multisample, and how to assign a sample to each index.

1Select the P0: Recording, Recording page.

The index that is created when you press the Create button will be created according to the P0: Recording, Pregerence page Create Zone Preference settings. (These settings can also be made in P3: Multisample, Preference page Create Zone Preference. ☞PG p.99, 119)

Immediately after the power is turned on, “Position” will be Right (to selected index), “Zone Range” will be 12 Keys, and “Original Key Position” will be Bot- tom, so that indexes will be created as shown below.

If you set “Zone Range” to 1 Key, an index will be created for each note of the keyboard. It is convenient to use 1 Key when you wish to sample numerous takes in succession, such as when recording phrases or rhythm loops.

2Select “MS (Multisample Select),” and create a multi- sample.

To create a new multisample, press the “MS (Multi- sample Select)” popup button. Then press a Multisam- ple No. in the list for which no name has been entered, or use the numeric keys [0]–[9] to input a number and then press the [ENTER] key.

A dialog box will appear.

If you want to create a stereo multisample, check the “Stereo” box, and press the OK button.

If you want to create a monaural multisample, uncheck the “Stereo” box, and press the OK button.

3Press the Create button to create an index.

Immediately after the power is turned on, the “Index” will be indicated as 001/001. This means that there is only one index.

The range that is highlighted in the keyboard & Index is the range of the selected index.

Press the Create button several times. Each time you press it, an index will be created. The keyboard display will indicate the zone and original key location of each index.

4Select “Index.”

“Index” can also be selected by holding down the [ENTER] key and playing a note on keyboard. For this example, select 001.

5Assign a sample to the “Index.”

If sample memory (RAM) already contains samples, use “Sample Select” to select the sample and assign it.

If you want to record a new sample, you can sample it now.

The sample you record will be automatically assigned to the index you selected in step 4.

The assigned sample will sound when you play the keyboard in the range of the index to which the sample is assigned.

6Repeat steps 4 and 5 to assign a sample to each index.

The number and order of the indexes in a multisam- ple, the range of each index, and the original key position can be freely changed later if desired. (“Mul- tisample editing” ☞p.111)

Creating multiple samples

In the example procedure described above, several indexes were created (by pressing the Create button sev- eral times), and then samples were assigned to each “Index.”

As an alternative method, it is also possible to create one index, sample into it, and then repeat these two steps.

1Press the Create button once to create an index.
