3. Basic operation (Quick Start)
About the Slice function
The sound of a saved sample can be automatically
divided (“time-sliced”) at intervals of the time axis.
A sample sound processed this way is called a Slice
Sample.
Slice samples are indicated by a “
l
l
” following the
sample number in the display. (For example, “01.
l
l
”
means that a slice sample has been saved in 01.) Only
a slice sample can be assigned to the Slice Sample
part. For details refer to p.30 “Slice.”
About the Resample function
Part sounds, patterns, and songs that you create on the ES-1mk
II
can themselves be sampled
to create a new sample sound. This procedure is called Resampling.
This allows sample sounds processed by effects and delay to be used as a new sample,
letting you create samples that have even greater tonal variation. For details refer to p.28
“Directly sampling the sound of the ES-1mk
II
(Resampling).”
Assigning a sample sound to a sample part
Here’s how to assign a sample (“02.” in this example) to the sample part of a pattern.
In this example, we will assign the sample to Sample Part 1 of Pattern A10.
1. Enter Pattern mode and select Pattern A10. (☞“Listening to patterns.”)
2. Press the Sample Part 1 key to select Sample Part 1.
3. Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to make the parameter select LED indicate
SAMPLE.
4. Rotate the dial to select the desired sample sound. For this example,
select sample number “02.”
5. When you press the Sample Part 1 key, you will hear sample “02.”
Start the pattern. The sound of Sample Part 1 has been changed to the
sampled sound.
By doing this, you can change the sample assigned to a part simply by
selecting a sample and pressing the Sample Part key to which you want
to assign that sample.
If you wish to save the pattern of the part you just changed, use the Write operation
(p.20 “Saving a pattern you create (Write).” If you do not wish to save it, simply select a
different pattern.
If the factory preset patterns or songs are rewritten or erased, they cannot be restored to
their original state. If you do not want to lose the factory preset patterns or songs, purchase
a SmartMedia card and perform the Save operation (☞p.55) to make a backup.
