		(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.

		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.
External Source Select	LINE-L-R, LINE-L,	Input source of the external input sound
	DIGI-OPT,	LINE-L-R:INPUT jacks L/R (stereo)
