Chapter 3. Sampling

6.Press [SAMPLING] or [F3] (START) to begin sampling.

[SAMPLING] will change from blinking to lit.

7.At the point where you want to stop sampling, press [SAMPLING] or [F3] (STOP).

Sampling will stop automatically if you exceed the available sampling time.

8.Press the pad to play the sampled sound.

When sampling ends, the BPM (tempo) is automatically calculated from the length of the sample. You can use the BPM Sync function (p. 52) to change this BPM setting.

If the beginning or end of the sample contains unwanted sound or silence, you can make settings so that only the desired portion is played. For details, refer to “Specifying the Start/End Points of a Sample (Omitting Unwanted Portions)” (p. 51).

If you want to delete a sampled sound, refer to “Deleting a Sample” (p. 32).

Resampling

“Resampling” is the process of playing back one or more existing samples and re-recording (re- sampling) the result.

On the SP-606, you can resample only samples within the same pad bank.

You cannot resample using the Roll function (p. 30).

You cannot use the D Beam during resampling.

Note messages from an external MIDI device are not received during resampling.

Applying an Effect While Resampling

If you want to apply an effect while resampling, press [MFX1], [MFX2], or [MASTERING] so the button is lit.

For details on effects, refer to “Chapter 2. Using Effects” (p. 33).
