Combining Samples to Create a Pattern (PATTERN SEQUENCER)

Converting Patterns to Samples
Here’s how to convert a performance that’s recorded in a pattern into a sample.
There are two ways to convert performance data to a sample, each with their own characteristics.
Differences between bouncing and resampling
Type How each type works differently
Bouncing
Converts the entire selected pattern into a sample. No sound is heard while the sample is being converted. The
pattern is converted into a sample without applying effects.
→ “ Converting Patterns to Samples (P.65)”
Resampling
The selected pattern plays back once it is converted into a sample. You can stop the conversion at a point you like
while listening to the sound.
With resampling, you can convert the pattern with effects applied.
→ “ Sampling a Pattern (RESAMPLE) (P.65)”
Sampling a Pattern (RESAMPLE)
You can sample the performance you recorded to a pattern as-is, and turn it into a sample.
1. Press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.
2. 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.
3. Press the [RECORD SETTING] button.
The input settings screen appears.
4. 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.
5. Press the [EXIT] button.
6. Press the pads [1]–[16] that are blinking red.
Empty pads to which samples haven’t been assigned blink red.
When you press an empty pad, the message “Press Pad to START” is shown. Pads that contain a recorded pattern blink in
blue.
7. Press pads [1]–[16] to select a pattern.
Sampling begins when the pattern starts playing back.
