REC button
In Sampling, Program, Combination, and Sequencer
modes, pressing this button enters the initial sampling-
ready mode. The button’s LED will light up.
To continue, press the SAMPLING START/STOP
button, as described below.
START/STOP button
In Sampling, Program, Combination, and Sequencer
modes, pressing this when the SAMPLING REC
button is lit will do one of three things, depending on
the setting of the Trigger parameter (on the Sampling
mode Recording - Audio Input page):
• If Trigger is set to Sampling START SW, sampling
will begin immediately.
• If Trigger is set to Note On, sampling will begin as
soon as you play a note on the keyboard.
• If Trigger is set to Threshold, sampling will begin
as soon as the selected audio source reaches a
preset volume level.
On the Sampling mode’s P1: Sample Edit page,
pressing this button will play the selected sample.
This button is also used to play back WAV files from
the disk. You can play back WAV files in the directory
window of various Disk mode pages, in the Disk mode
Make Audio CD page, in the Sequencer mode audio
track editing dialog boxes, and in the Select Directory
menu dialog box of the Program, Combination,
Sequencer, and Sampling modes.

1. EXB-DI option
The optional EXB-DI provides word clock input and 8-
channel ADAT optical output.
WORD CLOCK IN
This allows the sample rate of the OASYS to be
controlled by an external device. Connect this to the
word clock output of the master clock source.
The Word Clock input requires a shielded, video-
quality cable (75-ohm or greater impedance) with BNC
connectors. This type of cable is different from those
commonly used in analog audio applications, but is
readily available at professional audio and video
dealers.
ADAT OUT
The ADAT optical output carries eight channels of 24-
bit digital audio, mirroring analog individual outputs
1-8. You can use the Global Audio page L/R Bus Indiv.
Assign parameter to map the main stereo outputs to
any of these output pairs, if you like.
Connect this to any computer audio system, multitrack
recorder, digital mixer, effects processor, or other
digital audio device which supports the ADAT optical
format.
2. MIDI
MIDI lets you connect OASYS to computers or other
MIDI devices, for sending and receiving notes,
controller gestures, sound settings, and so on. For more
information on MIDI connections, please see “MIDI
applications” on page 1001 of the Parameter Guide.
