Recording a sound to a pad—Sampling
Sampling to a pad

Sampling an external sound

As an example, we will explain how to connect a synthesizer and sample it.
1. Connect your synthesizer to the CDX-1 as described in “Connecting peripheral
equipment” (p. 32), and then press INPUT SELECT [LINE L/R].
INPUT SELECT [LINE L/R] will light.
2. Turn the INPUT SENS knob to adjust the input sensitivity.
Adjust the INPUT SENS knob as high as possible without causing the peak indicator
to light when you play your synthesizer strongly.
3. Press PAD RECORDING [PAD REC].
fig.31-05
[PAD REC] indicator begins flashing, and the
Sampling screen appears.
The lowest-numbered unused pad will automatically be selected as the sampling
destination, and will blink.
4. Turn the INPUT REC LEVEL knob to adjust the level so that level meter moves
as far as possible without exceeding the dotted line in the upper portion.
fig.41-11
* If you use the INPUT REC LEVEL knob to turn
down the volume of the input source, the sound will
be sampled to the pad at a low volume. This means
that when you raise the volume of the pad for
playback, noise may be more obtrusive.
5. If necessary, press a pad to change the sampling destination.
*If the specified pad already contains a sample, you will be asked “Overwrite?” If it is OK to delete
the existing sample, press [YES/ENTER]. If you wish to keep that sample, specify a different pad
that is unused. If necessary, press [PAD BANKS] to change the pad bank. (➔ “Switching pad
banks”; p. 54)
6. At the appropriate moment of the performance, press [PAD REC].
The display will indicate “Now recording...” and sampling will begin.
7. When sampling is completed, press [PAD REC].
When sampling is completed, the Basic screen reappears.
• For details on the jack to use
for connections and on the
INPUT SELECT buttons,
refer to “Panel Descriptions:
Rear Panel” (p. 30), and
“panel descriptions: INPUT
section” (p. 21).
• At the factory settings, the
CDX-1 cannot record the
output of a digital audio
device via the OPTICAL IN
or COAXIAL IN connectors.
You must change the
settings as described in “In
order to make a Digital
recording with CD player”
(p. 148).
• Use the MASTER fader to
adjust the monitoring
volume of the synthesizer. If
you are monitoring through
headphones, use the
MASTER fader and the
PHONES knob to adjust the
volume to a comfortable
level.
For details on settings in the
Sampling screen, refer to
“Making Settings in the
sampling screen” (p. 60).
The meter moves high level as possible without
exceeding the limit shown as dotted line.
↓
With the CDX-1’s internal
effects, you can perform
sampling while adding any of
the internal effects to the input
source. ➔ “Using the insert
effects”(p. 141), “Using the
loop effects”(p. 145).
If you wish to do it over again,
press [UNDO/REDO] (p. 138)
after step 6.
