RECORDING SEGMENTS

2L SWAPPING DRUM SOUNDS

After recording the segment, you might come to the realization that a part would sound better with, say, the Electric Snare than the regular Snare. No problem! Just swap sounds...

1.Activate the SET-UP module and key in 23 (SPECIAL) then 18 (special function “swap sound”). The display will ask which original sound you want to swap. Press the appropriate play button.

2.The display now asks you for the sound you want swapped in place of the original sound; again, press the appropriate Play button. If the display confirms your choice, press YES. Otherwise, press NO to stop the swapping process. Note that if the original sound has pitch or other changes, the swapped sound will acquire the same characteristics.

Swapping is particularly useful when sampling. Suppose you record a part with one snare drum sound, and then six months later you sample a new, mind-boggling snare sound. Simply record the new sample into one of the User sounds, and swap the existing snare sound for the User sound.

2M COPYING SOUNDS

You may copy any sound into any other sound, thus replacing the original sound with the copy. Generally this function is used to replace existing sounds with sampled sounds; it will be described further in Section 4A.

1.Activate the SET-UP module and key in 23 (SPECIAL) then 17 (special function “copy sound”). The display will ask which sound you want to copy. Press the appropriate Play button.

2.The display now asks you for the destination (where the sound will be copied to); again, press the appropriate Play button. If the display confirms your choice, press YES. Otherwise, press NO to stop the copying process.

Hint: Copying sounds is also useful if you want one sound to go to several outputs. This lets you do such things as create harmonies.
