Sampling procedure
Sampling
4. In the Volume section of the panel, use [INPUT] to
adjust the input level of the external source.
* If the input level is excessive, the word “CLIP” will appear at the
lower right of the level meter in the screen, and the CLIP indicator at
the upper right of the meter will light.
* Using a connection cable that contains a resistor can cause the sound
level to be low. Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
* The level meter shows the level after the signal has passed through the
effects (compressor, multi-effects, reverb) and the mastering effect. If
you want to see the actual input level, turn off all effects and the
mastering effect (p. 88, p. 108).
(During Solo sampling, effects cannot be applied to the external input
sound.)
5. Press [F6 (Start)] to begin sampling.
You cannot save a sample that is larger than 128 MB
(approximately 24 minutes of monaural or 12 minutes of stereo).
If you are not using a memory card, you cannot save a sample that is
larger than 16 MB (approximately 180 seconds of monaural or 90
seconds of stereo).
* Even if you expand the memory (DIMM), you cannot save a sample
that is larger than 128 MB. (However, you can play it.)
6. Press [F5 (Stop)] to stop sampling.
The Sample Edit (p. 114) screen will appear.

7. Press [EXIT] to go back to where you were before
you entered the Sampling screen.
Dividing a sample during
sampling
1. During sampling, press [F6 (Divide)].
The sample will be divided at the point where you pressed the
button, and the subsequent material will be sampled as a
sample of the next number.
* When sampling in mono, you can divide the material into a maximum
of 256 samples. When sampling in stereo, you can divide the material
into a maximum of 128 samples (L/R total 256 samples).
Samples that you load can be used in patches or rhythm sets
in the same way as waves.
Samples that you load will be lost when you turn off the power. If
you want to keep them, you must Save them (p. 123).
About the volume when resampling
The volume of a phrase that you resample may be less than the
volume of the original phrase. If necessary, execute the Normalize
command (p. 121) to raise the volume.
Sampling
Length When Stop Trigger is BEAT
1–20000 Number of beats to contin-
ue sampling
When Stop Trigger is TIME
00’00”010–
50’00”000 length of time to continue
sampling
The maximum value will depend on the amount
of memory.
* This parameter cannot be specified if Stop Trig-
ger is set to MANUAL.
Auto Trig-
ger Level 0–7 Volume level at which
sampling will begin when
Auto Trig is ON
A setting of 0 is the min-
imum.
Gap Time 500, 1000, 1500,
2000 ms Length of silence at which
the sample will be divided
Whenever there is a si-
lent region longer than
the specified time, the
sample will be divided
at that point, and the
next sample number will
be assigned to the sound
that follows.
* This parameter is valid
only when you are using
Auto Divide Sampling.
Parameter Range Explanation
Cautions when using a microphone
Howling could be produced depending on the location of
microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from
speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
* If you use a microphone, connect the ground terminal to an
electrical ground (p. 15).
About the sample numbers chosen during
sampling
The samples created when you execute the sampling operation
are placed in an area where there are at least 256 consecutive
unused numbers in the sample list.
* You cannot perform sampling if there are not at least 256
consecutive unused numbers in the sample list. You will need to
delete unneeded samples (p. 124) in order to allocate 256 or more
consecutive free numbers.
