Chapter 3 Sampling

Parameters for sampling
When Type is set to PHRASE, set the following parameters.
Parameter Value Descriptions
StartLvl
(Start Level)
OFF,
1–14
Sampling starts when there is an input signal at a level equivalent to, or higher than the value
specified in this parameter. The initial value is
2
. The right-hand side of the screen has a level
meter. Press [-]/[+] to move the cursor and to specify the value.
A wave created by sampling a sound, especially a percussion sound, may involve a slight
loss (for about 0.3 millisecond) at the beginning. To prevent this loss, it is advisable to
sample the sound with StartLvl set to OFF and then to monitor the sampled sound for
defining a start point (p. 48).
Mode MONO,
STEREO
Select MONO or STEREO for the wave. If you select stereo, the wave uses two voices. The ini-
tial value is
MONO
.
Grade LONG,
STANDARD,
FINE
Specify the Grade (quality) of the wave. The initial value is
STANDARD
.
LONG: Lower sound quality than STANDARD, but uses half the memory space of STAN-
DARD.
STANDARD: Great quality sound.
FINE: Highest sound quality but consumes double the memory space used by STAN-
DARD. Two voices are utilized in this grade.
Type SINGLE,
PHRASE
Set the wave type to SINGLE or PHRASE. (p. 45) The initial value is
SINGLE
.
Select SINGLE for ordinary sampling. Producing clicking sounds, PHRASE is useful when
sampling the performance of musical instruments. When sampling a tune the tempo of which
is known to you, preset the tempo and the beat to terminate sampling at a bar near the position
where you press [START/STOP].
Parameter Value Descriptions
Tempo 20–260 Set the tempo of the wave. The initial value is
120
.
Beat 1–13 Set the beat (time signature) of the wave. The initial value is
4
.
Click Level OFF, 1–4 Set the volume of clicking sounds to be produced. The initial value is
3
.
Other Descriptions
Remain Displays the remaining time in memory you can use for sampling. The duration varies depending on the Mode and
the Grade. This value is for indication only.
* The duration is indicated in units of minutes (m) and seconds (s) while [FUNC] is depressed in the parameter
setting.
If you hold down [SHIFT] and press [FUNC], the parameter is reset to its initial value.
