Sampling
1Press the [PATTERN] button to enter the
Pattern Play mode, then select a Pattern and
Section to be recorded.
2Press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button to
enter the Sampling mode.
3Press the [F6] button to call up the Setup
display.
4Set the following parameters as required in the
Setup display.
1 Set the Recording Type to “slice+seq.”
2 Set the Input Source to “A/D Input.”
3 Set the Stereo/Mono parameter to “stereo.”
4 Set the Record Next to “off.”
5 Set the Frequency to “44.1 kHz.”
6 Select the destination track.
5Press the [F6] button to call up the Standby
display.
6Set the Trigger Mode to “level,” then set the
Trigger Level to “1.”
nThe Trigger Mode parameter lets you determine how the
Sampling actually starts. When Trigger Mode is set to
“level,” sampling will begin automatically as soon as the
input signal exceeds the specified Trigger Level. Since
Trigger Level is set to “1” here, sampling will begin
automatically as soon as the audio signal is input from the
CD player.
When the Trigger mode is set to “manual,” actual
Sampling starts by pressing the [F5] Start button.
7Play back the audio source (CD player) and
adjust the audio input level with the GAIN knob
on the rear panel to get the appropriate level.
Adjust the GAIN so that the level is high enough for a
clean recording but not so high as to cause clipping or
distortion.
nPlease note that the input sound may be clipped or
distorted if the meter reaches maximum level.
8Stop playback of the audio source (CD player).
9Press the [F5] button to call up the WAITING
indicator (Trigger Standby status).
