4.5 The Sampler
In addition to the Effects section, the M.207 also comes with a built-in 5-bank sampler. Samples can be recorded manually, or
lengths can be determined according to the active BPM and the selected beat division. Sample playback can be either one shot or
looping, and samples stay in memory until either the M.207 is turned OFF or they are erased by the user.
Like with FX slider automation, the sampler on the M.207 will work either in Manual mode, or in an Automatic mode. Let’s cover
Manual Sampling first.

To arm recording, press the RECORD button (2). It will flash to let you know you are ready
to record. On the FXGlide™ Button Strip there are 5 button areas, and each one can store
a separate sample.
Press and hold one of the FXGlide™ buttons and recording will begin (3).
When recording a sample, the word RECORD will appear in the LCD display. Recording
will run for approximately 8 seconds, or until you take your finger off the button.
The M.207 will still be in Record mode, so if you want to record more samples, feel free
to do so. If you try to record a sample in a slot that already has a sample, then the LCD
will let you know by flashing the words NO ERASE.
