Quick Start
Recording a sample
The SP-505 can sample for a maximum of approximately 17
minutes using its internal memory.
* With the exception of special cases such as personal use,
unauthorized use of samples taken from a CD, record, tape,
video, or broadcast copyrighted by a third party is forbidden by
law.

3. Select the Pad Bank.
For this example, press pad [6] to select USER BANK 2.
* At the factory settings, USER BANK 1 is protected, so
sampling is not possible. To disable protection, turn the
SYSTEM UTILITY CONFIG Pad Protect setting OFF. For
details of the procedure, refer to “Chapter 13. Making system
settings” (p.73).
4. Press [SAMPLING].
[SAMPLING] will blink, and you will be in sampling-
standby mode.
At this time, pads to which no sample has been assigned
will blink.
Never turn off the power while the display indicates
“Keep Power On!”
* If you decide to cancel sampling, press [EXIT].
5. Press a pad to select the pad to which you intend to
sample.
* If a sample is already assigned to the selected pad, the display
will ask “OK to Overwrite?” If you want to sample to that
pad, press [F1] (YES). To cancel, press [F2] (NO).
6. Press [SOURCE SELECT] to select LINE IN, COAXIAL,
or OPTICAL.
* If you select COAXIAL or OPTICAL, the display will
indicate “Awaiting Digital Signal” until a digital signal is
detected.
* Noise may occur if an unstable digital signal is input.
7. Adjust the sampling level.
Play back the CD, and turn the REC LEVEL knob to
adjust the level so that the third “❐” from the top in the
level meter shown in the display becomes black
occasionally.
* If COAXIAL or OPTICAL are selected, the REC LEVEL knob
will have no effect.
