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.

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.

The index that is created when you press the Create

button will be created according to the P0: Recording,

Preference page Create Zone Preference settings. (These

settings can also be made in P3: Multisample, Prefer-

ence page Create Zone Preference. ☞PG p.116, 137)

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.

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.77)

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.

2Record a sample.

The recorded sample will automatically be assigned to

the index you created in step 1.

3Repeat steps 1 and 2.

This is an efﬁcient way to record multiple samples.
