• After assigning a Flex or Static machine, pressing the [RIGHT] arrow key will
access the sample slot list of the selected machine.
ASSIGNING FLEX AND STATIC SAMPLES TO MACHINES
Once samples have been loaded to the sample slot lists they can be assigned to the Flex
and Static machines of the tracks. If no samples have been loaded, read how to do so in
section “LOADING SAMPLES TO THE SAMPLE SLOTS” on page 26. Both the QUICK
ASSIGN menu and the PLAYBACK SETUP menu can be used when assigning samples.
ASSIGNING SAMPLES IN THE QUICK ASSIGN MENU
Open the QUICK ASSIGN menu by quickly double pressing the [TRACK] button of a track
containing a Flex or Static machine you wish to assign a sample to. The Flex sample slot
list will be displayed if the track contained a Flex machine. The Static sample slot list will be
displayed if the track contained a Static machine.
Select the sample that should be assigned to the machine of the track and press [ENTER/
YES] to assign it.
ASSIGNING SAMPLES IN THE PLAYBACK SETUP MENU
To assign a Flex sample, select a track containing a Flex machine and press [FUNCTION]
+ [PLAYBACK] to open the PLAYBACK SETUP menu. The Flex sample slot list will
appear. To assign a Static sample, open the PLAYBACK SETUP menu of a track contain-
ing a Static machine. The Static sample slot list will then appear.
Select the sample that should be assigned to the machine of the track and press [ENTER/
YES] to assign it.
• Samples can be previewed in the sample slot lists. Select a sample and press
[FUNCTION] + [ENTER/YES] to do so. This will preview the sample from the main
outputs. Press [CUE] + [ENTER/YES] to preview from the cue outputs. When pre-
viewing, the sound is by default affected by the track effects. Samples can be pre-
viewed dry though. The setting controlling this is found in the PERSONALIZE
menu. Read more on page 32.
