Here’s how a region of an already-recorded track of the current song can be imported into a sam-

ple bank for pads 1–4.

region that you want to import.

edly press the [SAMPLE EDIT] key or hold

down the [SAMPLE EDIT] key and use the

CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to access the TR

be imported.

GNAME

this will indicate [-NO REC-]. This item is for display

• If you import monaural audio from a track 1–16, the same

sample will be assigned to the left and right channels.

HINT

•The imported sample will be assigned the same name as the

track from which the data was imported. You are free to edit

this name later (

→

p. 121).

• The imported sample is saved together with the current song.

HINT

•A total of up to approximately 47 seconds (approximately 29

seconds in 24-bit songs) of samples can be imported into the

Quick Loop Sampler. If you specify a region that exceeds this

amount, an error message will be displayed, and the import

operation cannot be executed.

•If you import once again into the same pad and sample bank,

that sample will be overwritten by the newly imported data. If

you want to keep the previously-imported sample, you must

import the new data into a different pad or sample bank.

• It is not possible to import samples while the AW1600 is run-

ning.
