Three methods of Sample Recording Start

You can start sample recording with one of three methods. This section covers the Sample Recording Start methods corresponding to the available Trigger modes. For information on setting the Trigger mode, see page 237.

■When Trigger mode is set to “Manual”:

Regardless of the selected mode, sampling starts soon after you press the[F6] (REC) button in the Sampling Setup display (page 236). Sampling also starts regardless of the playback/stop status of the Song/Pattern.

■When Trigger mode is set to “Level”:

After pressing the [F6] (REC) button in the Sampling Setup display (in any mode), sampling starts as soon as a strong enough audio signal is received. The threshold for this audio-triggered start is called the Trigger Level (explained in the illustration below).

As you can see, the higher the Trigger Level setting, the louder the input audio needs to be in order to start sampling. On the other hand, if the Trigger Level is set too low, a soft noise may be enough to inadvertently start sampling. Sampling also starts regardless of the playback/stop status of the Song/ Pattern.

■When Trigger mode is set to “Meas”:

After pressing the [F6] (REC) button in the Sampling Setup display (page 236), start and stop of sampling is linked to playback of the Song/Pattern. This setting is available only when the Song/Pattern mode and recording type (Rec Type) are set to “Slice + Seq” or “Sample + Note.”
