Resampling Your Pad Performance

1.Go to the Play screen (p. 15).

2.Press [SAMPLING] to get the SAMPLING MENU screen.

[SAMPLING] will blink.

3.Press [F2] (RESMPL) to get the RESAMPLING STANDBY screen.

In the lower line of the screen, REMAIN indicates the length (remaining time) available for resampling. This time will change depending on the Stereo Sw (p. 47) and Sampling Grade (p. 43) setting. It is shown in minutes and seconds.

From the screen of step 2, you can press [ ] to move the cursor to “Resampling” and then press [ENTER] or [SAMPLING] to obtain the same result.

4.The display will indicate “Select Pad”; press the desired pad to select it as the resampling destination.

Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to switch pad banks. At this time, pads that do not contain samples will blink.

If the selected pad already contains a sample, the message “A Sample Already Exists! Overwrite?” will appear. If you are sure you want to resample into that pad, press [F3] (EXEC). If you decide to cancel, press [F2] (CANCEL).

Resampling can be performed only within the same pad bank. You cannot resample within a pad bank that contains no samples. If you press a pad in an empty pad bank, the screen will indicate “Empty Pad Bank,” and the pad cannot be selected.

If the Pad Bank Protect setting is turned on for a bank, a lock symbol is displayed at the right of the pad bank number shown in the upper left of the screen. If you press a pad of such a bank, the screen will indicate “Protected Pad Bank!”, and the pad cannot be selected. If you want to sample into a pad of this bank, you will have to turn off the Protect setting (p. 31).

5.Use [ ][ ] to select the parameter you want to edit.

Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to edit the value of the parameter.
