Sampling procedure

1.Press [SAMPLING/RESAMPLING] to access the

Sampling Menu screen.

fig.5-01

The upper part of the screen will show the amount of free memory. If the free memory reaches 0%, no further sampling is possible.

2.Press [F1 (Sampling)]–[F5 (Solo)] to select the sampling mode. The sampling-standby screen will appear.

[F1	(Sampling)]	Sample a sound from an external input source.
		* Operating the velocity pads or D Beam con-
		trollers will not play the internal sound gen-
		erator.
[F2	(Re-Sampling)]	Resample the sound of the internal sound gen-
		erator.
		* The sound of the external input will not be
		heard.
[F3	(Mix)]	Sample the combined sounds of the internal
(Mix sampling)		sound generator and an external input source.
[F4	(Auto Divide)]	Sample an extended source, and automatically
(Auto divide sam-		divide it into several samples at silent regions.
pling)		* Operating the velocity pads or D Beam con-
		trollers will not play the internal sound gen-
		erator.
[F5	(Solo)]	While playing the internal sound generator as
(Solo sampling)		usual, sample only the sound from the external
		input.
		* Effects cannot be applied to the external in-
		put sound.
[F6	(Cancel)]	Return to the previous screen.

3.Make the settings for things such as the input source of the sound to be sampled, and triggering.

Function buttons

[F1	(Input Setting)]	Make settings for the external input (p. 34).
[F2	(Auto Trig)]	If this is on, sampling will begin automati-
(Auto Trigger)		cally when the input sound is detected.
[F3	(Trim Sw)]	If this is turned on, the Start point and End
		point settings (p. 115) will be automatically
		adjusted after sampling is performed, so
		any silent portions at the beginning or end
		of the sampled sound are excluded.
[F4	(BPM/Click)]	Set the tempo, and turn the metronome on/
		off (p. 25).

Parameters

Parameter	Range	Explanation
Input Select	LINE IN L/R,	Input source to be sampled
	LINE IN L,	LINE IN L/R: INPUT
	DIGITAL(OPT),	jacks L/R (stereo)
	DIGITAL(CO-AX),	LINE IN L: INPUT jack L
	MICROPHONE	(mono)
		DIGITAL(OPT): Digital
		input (optical)
		DIGITAL(CO-AX): Digi-
		tal input (coaxial)
		MICROPHONE: INPUT
		jack L (mono, mic level)
		* This cannot be set when
		resampling.
Stereo	MONO, STEREO	Stereo/mono setting for
Switch		sampling
		MONO: The sound will
		be sampled as one wave.
		If the sound is stereo, the
		left and right signals will
		be mixed.
		STEREO: The sound
		will be sampled as two
		waves, L and R.
		* Mono sampling uses
		half as much memory
		space.
Pre Sample	0–1000 ms	The length of sound pre-
Time		ceding the moment at
		which sampling was man-
		ually or automatically initi-
		ated that will be captured
		in the sample
		This lets you prevent the
		attack portion of the
		sound from being omit-
		ted from the sample.
Stop Trigger	MANUAL, BEAT,	How sampling will end
	TIME	MANUAL: Continue
		sampling until you press
		[F5 (STOP)].
		BEAT: Sample the spec-
		ified number of beats at
		the current tempo
		(BPM).
		TIME: Sample the speci-
		fied length of time.
