• If you import monaural audio from a track 1–16, the same
sample will be assigned to the left and right channels.
HINT
• The imported sample will be assigned the same name as the
track from which the data was imported. You are free to edit
this name later (
• The imported sample is saved together with the current song.
HINT
• A total of up to approximately 47 seconds (approximately 29
seconds in 24-bit songs) of samples can be imported into the
Quick Loop Sampler. If you specify a region that exceeds this
amount, an error message will be displayed, and the import
operation cannot be executed.
• If you import once again into the same pad and sample bank,
that sample will be overwritten by the newly imported data. If
you want to keep the previously-imported sample, you must
import the new data into a different pad or sample bank.
• It is not possible to import samples while the AW1600 is run-
ning.
