Sampling P5: Audio CD
You can use the internal CD-R/RW drive, or a USB-
connected CD-R/RW drive, to sample directly from an
audio CD.
You can even send the live audio from the CD through
Insert or Master Effects, to the REC and FX Control
Buses, and control pan and level separately for the left
and right channels, just as you can with the audio
inputs. For more information, see the diagram “Audio
input/output” on page 570.
The sampling procedure is essentially the same as
when sampling from the audio inputs. Normally, you
will set the CD-R/RW Drive Audio Input Bus Select
(IFX/Indiv.) to L/R (or IFX1–12 if you want to apply an
insert effect), and set Source Bus to L/R (0–8c).
When ripping, the audio signal from the audio CD is
sampled while it’s still in digital form.
Use the “Destination” page menu command to execute
ripping. See “Destination (Audio CD Ripping)” on
page 639.
Ripping may not be supported by some external
CD-R/RW drives, such as drives that do not
support reading of CD-DA data. In such cases,
you’ll see the message “Error in reading from
medium.”
Be aware that if you play the keyboard or
controllers while the CD-R/RW drive is operating,
the vibration may cause data skips or read errors,
making it impossible to play the CD successfully.
Use the SEQUENCER buttons to play the CD
While you’re on the Audio CD page, you can use the
SEQUENCER buttons to control the CD, as described
below.
If the cursor is located at Range Start or Range End,
only the range between the two points will be played
back.
