1. Recording Samples (Sampling)
230 RS7000
The SLICE+SEQ sampling type is best suited for sample
break-beats and phrases. Slicing is not appropriate for record-
ing one-shot drum samples or similar samples.

●Also functions as a regular sampler.

When the KIT or PITCH sample type is selected the sample
data is recorded without creating any note data, just like a
conventional sampler.

●Sample voices are played by being assigned to

tracks.

To play back a sample voice use the PATTERN or SONG
mode MIXER sub mode Voice Select page to assign the sam-
ple voice to a sequencer track. Assigned sample voices can be
played by the sequencer as well as the keyboard and velocity
pads. Depending on the sample type, single notes or chords
can be played via the keyboard (Pitched Voice), or separate
samples can be played by each key (Sample Kit Voice).
Using the Velocity Pads you can play a single sample at dif-
ferent pitches with velocity (Pitched Voice), or play 2 sepa-
rate samples with velocity (Sample Kit Voice).
