2.3.2 Setting Up LOOP 2

Recording the Sample

Using the same procedure as we did for the LOOP 1 track, we will now sample Track
80 (bass phrase) from the included audio CD to the LOOP 2 track.

Procedure

1.

Press the [SAMPLING] button to enter sample-recording mode.
The screen displays the [SELECT TRACK] message.

2.

Press the second LOOP pad to select the track. Then press [OK].

3.

Set the sampling parameters as follows:

4.

Start the CD player, play the sample, and adjust the level (using the ANALOG LEVEL
dial) while watching the meter on the display.

5.

Playback the source, and press the [SAMPLING] button to begin sampling.

Track 80 repeats the same two-measure phrase four times. Sample two measures at
a convenient location.

6.

When you have finished sampling the sound you need, press [SAMPLING] again to
stop the recording.

Editing the track (Creating an endless loop phrase)

Now adjust the start and end points for the sample on LOOP 2 just as you did for the
sample on LOOP 1. Adjust as necessary so that you get a good sounding, smooth
loop.

The start/end points can be adjusted only when the sequencer (the song) is
stopped.

Procedure

1.

Press and hold the LOOP 2 track pad to play the sample.
▼ The sample loops continuously as you hold down the pad.
