■External Sampling Sources
The Sampling mode can be used to sample external audio sources as well as internal voice data.
The external source can be either a line-level source such as a CD player or other audio playback
device, or a microphone for direct sampling of live sound. Line and microphone sources should be
connected to the AD INPUT jacks. Line or microphone input sensitivity is switched via the
“line/mic” parameter in the Sample mode REC display (page 176), and fine input sensitivity
adjustment can be carried out via the A/D GAIN control on the control panel. See page 70 for
details.
SCSI Interface (Option)
When the optional ASIB1 SCSI Interface Board is installed (see page 278) the EX5, EX5R, or EX7 can
be connected directly to an external SCSI data storage device for high-speed, high-volume data storage
and retrieval, and/or to a personal computer to allow data transfer between the EX and the Yamaha
Wave Editor application (separately available) running on the computer.
When connected to an appropriate external storage device — hard disk, ZIP, or JAZZ drive (see
“NOTES,” below) — the storage device can be formatted by the EX5, EX5R, or EX7 via the Disk
mode Device Format display (page 269). Voice, performance, song, pattern, arpeggio, wave and other
data can then be saved to and loaded from the hard disk as required via the Disk mode functions
described on page 259.
