4 • Advanced Operations—Sampling

The points marking the start and the end of the sam- ple must be within 10 seconds of each other, and must be in the same track.

NOTE

If the scratch function (4.9, “Scratch”) is on, you can- not use the sampling function.

4.3.1Sampling

1Make sure the IN and OUT keys U are not lit.

2Erase any existing sample data (4.3.9, “Clear- ing the sampled data”).

3Locate to the location to be used as the start point of the sample (this can be done “on the fly” during playback).

4When you press the IN key, the current location is captured as the sample start point. The OUT and SAMPLE keys starts flashing as sampling starts.

The SAMPLE key will also flash if the unit is in playback mode to show that active sampling is taking place.

5Locate the playback position to the location to be used as the sample end point (or continue playback until the end point is reached).

6When you press the OUT key, the current posi- tion is captured as the loop point. If the start and end locations are different, both the IN and OUT keys turn on.

NOTE

If ten seconds elapse, or if the end of the track is reached without you pressing the OUT key, the end point of the sample will automatically be set at this point.

4.3.3Editing the OUT point

You cannot edit the start point of the sample, but it is possible for you to adjust the end point to a position within 10 seconds of the start point.

1With both the IN and OUT keys lit, “double- click” (i.e. press twice in quick succession) the OUT key.

2The display shows the sampling time from the start point.

3Use the dial to adjust the position of the end point.

4Press the OUT key to store the new position of the end point.

4.3.4Playback of sampled data

When both the IN and OUT keys are lit, press the IN key to replay the sampled data.

If you press the OUT key while the sample is being played, you will stop the sample playback.

If you press the IN key while sampled data is played back, playback restarts from the beginning of the sampling data.

4.3.5Playback of sampled data in reverse

4.3.2Using the A-B loop as a sample source

When you have set up an A-B loop (see 3.4.2, “A-B loop play mode”), you can press and hold the OUT key and press the B key (or the other way round) to set the A point of the loop as the start point of the sample, and the B point of the loop as the end point of the sample (you cannot do this when loop play- back is taking place).

If the A-B loop is over 10 seconds in length the first 10 seconds will be used as the sample.

1Press the PRESET key.

2Select 05 SAMP/P (SAMP_P) using the dial or numeric keys.
