1.2.3Other Screen IndicationsTrack Selection

Before you can record a sample, you must select the target track. Many job screens will also require you to select a track.

To select a track, you press the appropriate bank selector and hit the appropriate track pad (in either order). The bank number will appear at the upper left of the screen, and brackets will move to indicate the selected track.

When you are making this type of a selection, the screen will also let you know whether or not the selected track contains a sample. If the track does contain a sample, then a double bar will appear at the center of the bracketed area. If the track is empty, then no bar will appear.

The following shows the display you use to select the track when preparing to record a sample.
