3. Press.the.BANK.[E/J].button.so.it’s.blinking .
If the button is lit, bank E is selected; press the [E/J] button
once again so it’s blinking .
Pads to which you can sample will blink .
4. Press.the.pad.[1] .
Pad [1] will light, and the [REC] button will blink .
5. .Make..STEREO.setting .
Turn this off if you’re sampling in
monaural from a mic, etc .
How this aff ects the sampling time
Sampling in monaural will give you approximately twice as much sampling time as stereo .
Monaural sampling also allows you to play twice as many samples simultaneously (12 monaural samples, or 6 stereo
samples) .
