Recording Samples— Advanced Operation
MEMO
This section explains more advanced methods of
sampling . For basic sampling, refer to “Recording
Samples— Basic Operation” (p . 16) .
About the Available Sampling
Times
The maximum sampling time (size) for a single sample is
approximately 180 minutes in stereo (2 GB) .
You’ll be able to store a larger number of samples if you
use a high-capacity SDHC card .
The following table shows the approximate total sampling
time of the samples that can be stored on one SD card .

Specifying the Type of Data to
Create when Sampling
The data produced when sampling with the SP-404SX
can be saved in either the WAV ( .wav) format or AIFF ( .aif)
format . If you want to change the format of the data that is
created when you sample, carry out the procedure below .

the.power .
2. Press.the.[PATTERN.SELECT].button.to.switch.
between.WAV.and.AIF .

when you press this button, showing you the current
selection .
3. Press.the.[RESAMPLE].button.to.confirm.your.
choice.of.file.type .
MEMO
This setting will be remembered even after the power
is switched off .
Starting Sampling
Automatically (Auto Sampling)
The Auto Sampling function will cause sampling to begin
automatically when the input signal (sound) exceeds a
specified level . This is convenient when you want to begin
sampling from the introduction of a song . Before you enter
sampling standby mode, adjust the sampling trigger level
as described below .
1. Hold.down.the.[FUNC].button.and.press.the.pad.
[4].(AUTO.TRIG.LEVEL) .
The [REC] button will blink, and the display will indicate
“
- 0 - .”
2. Turn.the.[CTRL.3].(LEVEL).knob.to.set.the.level .
The sampling trigger level will be the level at which the
PEAK indicator lights . Turning the knob toward the right
will raise the level . The display will indicate the level you
specified (ten stages, 0–9) .
MEMO
When “ - 0 - ” is indicated, conventional sampling will
occur (i .e ., auto sampling will not be used) . Choose the
“
- 0 - ” setting if you don’t want to use auto sampling .
3. To.check.the.sampling.trigger.level,.press.the.
[REC].button.once.again .
When you start sampling with auto sampling specified,
the display will indicate “
r d Y ” until a signal exceeding the
sampling trigger level is received .
