4.5.2BPM Synchronized Sampling

Press the SAMPLER button Figure 4.27 (1). This puts you into SAMPLER mode and allows you to play back any samples you already have stored in the sample slots. Set the Record mode to AUTO by pressing the MAN/AUT button (2). The red AUTO LED will light up to let you know you are in the right mode.

To enter Recording, press the RECORD button. It will flash to tell you it is ready to record. Using the FXGlide™ button area, select one of the 5 beat divisions (from 16 beats to 1 beat). (Figure 4.28)

The selected beat division will flash briefly on the LCD screen. You are now ready to create a sample. Press any of the 5 button areas and a sample will record to that particular slot. Considering that recording is still armed, feel free to record more samples at the same beat division. To change beat divisions, exit and re-enter Record mode. Like in Manual mode, if you try to record a sample in a slot that already has one, the LCD will let you know by flashing the words NO ERASE.

If a sample is not the correct length, you might want to erase that sample and try again. If the automatically generated BPM is not generating perfect loops (this can be true for rhythmically complex music), you might try tapping the BPM manually or via Manual Sampling.
