82 Sampling operating mode
Sampling: Edit
will be saved as mono files. Stereo samples will be saved as two sep-
arate mono files, and will be treated as mono files when reloaded.
Source
Use this parameter to choose either a microphone or a line
source as the input.
Line You can connect a mono or stereo line source to
the Left and/or Right audio inputs. Use the
“Record Mode” mode parameter (see above) to
choose one or both inputs.
Mic You can connect a microphone to the Mic input.
If it is a condenser microphone, after having con-
nected it go to the Global > Audio Setup > Audio
In page, and turn the phantom power on (see
“+48V Phantom Power” on page 214 of the User’s
Manual). Use the MIC GAIN knob to set the
input level.
Left to Sample
Non editable. Remaining memory (in samples/seconds) for sam-
pling. The maximum space available for samples is 1,048,576
(mono or stereo) samples, or 21.8 seconds.
Sampled
Non editable. Used memory (in samples/seconds) for sampling.
Sampling Buffer
Non editable. Available memory (in samples/seconds) for sample
editing.
Record
Touch this button to start recording. Touch it again to stop
recording. Recording will automatically stop when the maxi-
mum available space will end.
Note: Pa3X always samples at the maximum quality (16 bit,
48,000Hz). Samples of a different quality may be loaded (8 or 16
bit, 11,025Hz to 48,000Hz).
Sampling: Edit
This page allows you to cut, trim or normalize a sample, as well
as edit the loop points. The sample can played on the full key-
board.
SM (Sample)
Selected sample. See “SM (Sample)” above.
Waveform display
This is the graphical display of the selected sample waveform,
i.e., the one you can hear when playing the keyboard. The area
included between the Start and End points is highlighted (dark
background).
Parameters
Start (Sample Start)
This is the sample start point (in samples). You may edit this
point, as well as the End point, to shorten the sample. Changing
the Sample Start cuts out the attack portion of the sound.
Note: When moving the “Start” point forward, and reach the
“Loop Start” point, this latter is also moved forward.
Warning: When saving the edited sample (Write Sample opera-
tion), the segments exceeding the Start and End points are perma-
nently removed.
Loop Start
Note: This parameter has no effect, unless you don’t turn the loop
on. Use the “Loop On” parameter on the “Sampling: Loop Edit”
page to turn the loop on (see page 84).
Use this parameter to adjust the Loop Start point. When you
adjust this parameter, an audible click may appear, due to a pitch
and/or level mismatch between the starting and ending points of
the loop. Move the Loop Start and Loop/Sample End point, so
that the click can no longer be heard.
