Immediately after the power is turned on, Position
will be Right (to selected index), Zone Range will be 1
Keys, and Original Key Position will be Bottom, so
that indexes will be created as shown below. This is
convenient when you want to sample multiple takes of
a phrase or rhythm loop in a single operation.
If you set Zone Range to 12 Keys, indexes will be
created at intervals of one octave.
5. Select “Index.”
You can also select Index by holding down the ENTER
switch and playing a pad or a note on the keyboard.
For this example, select 001.
6. Assign a sample to the “Index.”
If RAM memory already contains samples, use Sample
(Sample Select)
to select the sample and assign it.
If you want to record a new sample, you can sample it
now.
The sample you record will be automatically assigned
to the index you selected in step 5.
The assigned sample will sound when you play the
keyboard in the range of the index to which the sample
is assigned.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to assign a sample to each
index.
The number and order of the indexes in a multisample,
the range of each index, and the original key position
can be freely changed later if desired.
(See “Multisample editing – P3: Multisample Edit” on
page 119)
Creating multiple samples
In the example procedure described above, several
indexes were created (by pressing the Create button
several times), and then samples were assigned to each
“Index.”
As an alternative method, it is also possible to create one
index, sample into it, and then repeat these two steps.
1. Press the Create button once to create an index.
2. Record a sample.
The recorded sample will automatically be assigned to
the index you created in step 1.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
This is an efficient way to record multiple samples.
Assigning samples to the pads
By default, pads 1–8 correspond to the C2–G2 keys.
For example, the default “Index” setting for 001/008
sets OrigKey and Top Key to C2. The assigned sample
will sound when you play the C2 key. The same
sample will also sound when you strike pad 1.
Similarly, if you assign samples to “Index” 002–008, the
samples that sound when you play the C#2–G2 keys
will also sound when you strike pads 2–8.
In Sampling mode, you can’t use velocity to vary
the volume even if PAD MODE is set to
VELOCITY SENSITIVE.
For each pad, you can change the note numbers used
to play samples.
These settings are made in the Sampling P4:
Controllers– Pads 1–4 Setup, or Pads 5–8 Setup page.
You could also assign the pads to pitch ranges that you
are not likely to play. To make the setting, select the
note number field, and play the desired key while
holding down the ENTER switch.
