Creating and Editing Samples (Sample Mode)

Input Source

Select the input from which the sound will be sampled.

Value

ANALOG: INPUT jacks

OPTICAL: OPTICAL IN connector

COAXIAL: COAXIAL IN connector

RESAMPL: Select this when you wish to resample. The sound that is output to MAIN OUT L(MONO) and R will be sampled.

Trigger Mode

Specifies how sampling will be started.

Value

MANUAL: Sampling will begin when you touch <START>.

MIDI: Sampling will begin when an external sequencer start message

(system realtime message: FA) is received.

LEVEL: Sampling will start when the input signal exceeds the level specified by the Trigger Level setting.

NOTE: Sampling will begin when you play the keyboard or note message is received.

Trigger Level

Specifies the input level at which sampling will begin when the Trigger Mode is set to “LEVEL.” The trigger level is shown by the “ ” and “ ” in the level meter located at the right of the screen. Value: -∞ –00 dB

If Trigger Mode is set to other than “LEVEL,” this parameter has no effect.

Pre Trigger

After the selected trigger to start sampling has been received, previously received data for the length of time specified here will be included in the sampled data. When the Trigger Mode is set to “LEVEL” and the early portion of the sample is being lost, you can use this setting to include the early portion.

Value: 0–1000 msec

Pre Gain

Adjusts the input gain. This will apply to the sound that is received from all input jacks. It will also be applied to the sound being resampled. With positive (+) values, the gain will be higher than originally, and with negative (-) values the gain will be lower than originally.

Value: -12– +36 dB

Pre-Effect Settings

SAMPLING Pre-Effect

fig.04-07_50

There are three pre-effects: compressor, limiter, and noise suppressor. By using these you can adjust the level of the sound being sampled.

Compressor:

By reducing high levels and raising low levels, this effect smoothes out unevenness in volume.

Limiter:

By compressing sounds that exceed a specified volume level, this effect prevents the sound from distorting.

Noise suppressor:

This effect leaves the original sound untouched, but mutes the noise that is heard during periods of silence.

Type (Pre-Effect Type)

Value

OFF: No pre-effect will be used.

COMP+NS: Compressor and noise suppressor settings can be made.

LMT+NS: Limiter and noise suppressor settings can be made.

NS: Noise suppressor settings can be made.

■Compressor

Sustain

Specifies the time over which a low-level signal is raised until it reaches a fixed volume.

Value: 0–127

Attack (Attack Time)

Specifies the attack time of the input sound.

Value: 0–127

Tone

Adjusts the tone quality of the compressor.

Value: -50– +50

Level (Output Level)

Adjusts the output volume.

Value: 0– +24 dB
