ESX-1’s audio input jack (AUDIO IN).
2 Turn the AUDIO IN THRU key on (the key will light), and check
the input sound.
3

light even when the output of the connected device is loudest.
4

(the SAMPLE icon will light).
5

pling-ready mode (the REC key and PLAY/PAUSE key will both
blink).
If you decide to cancel the procedure before you actually begin
sampling, you can press the STOP/CANCEL key at this point.

Specify the sampling mode (the display indicates “SmplRec”).
Turn the dial to set the sampling mode to either “Stereo”(stereo)
or “Mono” (monaural) sampling.
7
Press the PLAY/PAUSE key to start sampling at the desired mo-
ment (the REC key will blink, and the PLAY/PAUSE key will light).

Sampling will end when you press the STOP/CANCEL key (the
REC key and PLAY/PAUSE keys will go dark).
You can press the PLAY/PAUSE key to hear the sample that you
just recorded.
