Sampling (SAMPLING)

Resampling a Sample (RESAMPLE)
Resampling means sampling a sample itself while it’s playing back. You can sample the sound of a sample to which effects are
applied, or sample the sound of multiple samples that are playing back at the same time, creating a single sample.
Also, by turning the pattern sequencer on beforehand (the [PATTERN SELECT] button lights up), you can resample a pattern in
the same way as you would resample a sample.
1. Press the [RESAMPLE] button.
The metronome sounds when the “Metronome:REC” parameter is “ON” (the SYSTEM parameter “ CLICK (P.124)”).
Press pad [9] while holding down the [SHIFT] button to turn the metronome sound on/off.
2. Press the [RECORD SETTING] button.
The input setting screen appears.
3. Use the [CTRL 2] knob to set ROUTING to “Mix”.
When ROUTING is set to “ExtIn”, only the audio input from an external device is sampled (the sample’s audio is not included in
the resample). You can sample your performance while playing back samples as backing sounds.
4. Use the [CTRL 1] knob to adjust the tempo during sampling (the sample tempo), and use the [CTRL 3]
knob to adjust the volume of audio input from an external device.
5. Press the [EXIT] button or the [RESAMPLE] button.
6. Press pads [1]–[16] that are blinking red.
The empty pads to which samples haven’t been assigned blink red.
When you press an empty pad, the pad lights up orange, and a message “Press Pad to START” is shown.
7. Press pads [1]–[16] to select a sample.
Sampling begins when the pattern starts playing back.
If you decide to cancel sampling, press the [EXIT] button.
You can also press the [REC] button to begin sampling. You can begin sampling when you want, while playing back samples as
backing sounds.
8. To quit sampling, press the pads [1]–[16] used for sampling or the [REC] button once more.
The sample is saved to the pad.
