About SAMPLING GAIN

When you sample or resample, the sound may be distorted depending on the effect or mastering settings. If this occurs, you can prevent distortion by adjusting the sampling gain to reduce the volume at which the sound is being sampled.

The SAMPLING GAIN setting will appear.

*You can't access SAMPLING GAIN if the screen indicates “Select Pad.”

2.Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to adjust the “Sampling Gain” to a value from -12dB to 0dB.

3.Press [F3] (CLOSE) or [EXIT] to return to the Standby screen.
