Sample Mode
■Source
Selects the recording source. When sampling, for
example, with a microphone connected to the A/D
INPUT jack(s), select “A/D” (Analog/Digital).
When “A/D” is selected, the input level bars for each
channel will be displayed according to the selected
record mode.
If you plan to re-sample a sample from internal
memory, select “Internal.” When “Internal” is
selected, the level bars are not displayed.
❏ Settings: A/D, Internal
■Mic/Line Level
Set the input level for the A/D INPUT jack(s) (only
when “A/D” is selected above). When a microphone
is connected, select Mic (Mic Level) and when an
audio device such as a CD player is connected, select
Line (Line Level).
❏ Settings: Line, Mic
■Input Level Bar
When A/D is selected as the recording source, the
input level bars for each channel will be displayed
according to the selected record mode. As you watch
the movement of the bars, you can confirm the input
levels of an external devise, and you can use it as a
guide when adjusting the levels.
■Trigger
Sets the trigger method (how sampling will be
triggered) for sampling. The type of trigger method
that is available will differ depending on the
currently selected record source.
When “A/D” is set as the record source, you can
select either “manual” or “level.” When “manual” is
selected, you can start sampling whenever you like
by pressing the [F8: START] key. When “level” is
selected, sampling automatically begins when the
input level passes the designated value (trigger level).
If you select “level” here, the value parameter is
added to the screen, and a specified trigger level can
be set with this parameter.
When “Internal” is set as the record source, you can
select either “key” or “seq” (sequencer). When “key”
is selected, you can start sampling by pressing a key
on the keyboard. When “seq” is selected, sampling
automatically begins simultaneously when a
song/pattern playback is begun.
❏ Settings:
When “A/D” is selected as the Source: manual, level
When “Internal” is selected as the Source: key, seq
Sample Record Mode
Sampling takes place in the Sample Record mode.
Connect an external microphone to the EX5/5R/7 to
record (sample) a sound, then that sound can be
performed as an instrument. In addition, the sampled
sound can be re-sampled after processing the sound
with applying various effects (re-sampling function).
You can play the sampled sounds by assigning them to
any note on the keyboard (keymap). In addition, you
can use the Wave Edit function (page 150) to make up
a wave and play it as an AWM voice. (It is necessary to
use an external MIDI keyboard to perform the sample
with the EX5R.) Also, for organizing your samples
after they have been recorded, they can be stored to
floppy disk so that you can make use of them whenever
you like.
The recorded samples can be saved in the EX original file
format to floppy disk or an external SCSI device, such as a
hard disk drive. For more information on saving files, see
page 263.
How to Enter the Sample

When in the Sample Play mode, press [F8] (REC) to

will change to “STANDBY” and the following screen
will be displayed.
Press [EXIT] to return to Sample Play mode.
■Rec Mode (Record Mode)
Sets the Sample Record mode. There are the
following selections: L (left channel record mode), R
(right channel record mode), mono (monaural record
mode), and stereo (stereo record mode [only
available for the EX5/5R]).
❏ Settings: L, R, mono, stereo(EX5/5R only)
On the EX7, when “A/D” is selected in the Source(next
explained), “mono” is automatically set as the recording
mode.
