Specifies whether the preset samples will be loaded into memory at power-on (ON) or not

 

 

 

(OFF).

 

Sample Default Load

OFF, ON

Specifies whether the samples of the user area and memory card will be loaded into mem-

 

 

 

ory at power-on (ON) or not (OFF).

 

Pre Sample Time

0–1000 ms

The length of sound preceding the moment at which sampling was manually or automati-

 

 

 

cally initiated that will be captured in the sample

 

 

 

This lets you prevent the attack portion of the sound from being omitted from the sample.

 

Trigger Level

0–7

Volume level at which sampling will begin when Auto Trig is ON

 

 

 

A setting of 0 is the minimum.

 

Gap Time

500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ms

Length of silence at which the sample will be divided

 

 

 

Whenever there is a silent region longer than the specified time, the sample will be divid-

 

 

 

ed at that point, and the next sample number will be assigned to the sound that follows.

 

 

 

* This parameter is valid only when you are using Auto Divide Sampling.
