Sampling external audio through
insert effects
In this example, we’ll apply an insert effect to the
sound from a mic connected to the AUDIO INPUT 1
jack, and sample the processed sound in stereo.
Connect a mic and adjust the input level
1. Connect your mic to the rear panel AUDIO INPUT
1 jack, and adjust the input level. (See “Connect a
mic and adjust the input level” on page 112)
Execute the sampling setup

page, choose the menu command “Auto Sampling
Setup” to display the dialog box.
2. Select “REC Audio Input.”
Settings will be made for sampling an external audio
source.
3. Set “Source Audio” to Analog. You’ll be sampling
the analog audio output of an instrument or other
external audio device connected to the AUDIO
INPUT 1, 2 jacks.
4. Set “Mono-L/Mono-R/Stereo” to Stereo. The input
from the INPUT 1, 2 jacks will be sent to the
internal L, R channels and sampled in stereo.
