Recording a sample
The ES-1mk
II
lets you connect an audio device (e.g., CD or MD) or
mic and record various sounds to use as samples. A maximum of 95
seconds can be sampled and kept in internal memory.
If the factory preloaded samples are rewritten or erased, they
cannot be restored to their original state. If you do not want to
lose the factory preloaded samples, purchase a SmartMedia
card and perform the Save operation (☞p.55) to make a
backup.
If you run out of memory while sampling, sampling will stop
automatically. Before you start sampling, use the Sample mode
Memory function (☞p.32) to check the remaining amount of
sampling time.
Stereo samples occupy twice as much memory. The available
time for sampling will be one half of the time displayed in
Memory (☞p.32).
Connect an audio device (e.g., CD or MD) or mic to the AUDIO IN
jack. If you connect a line-level device such as a CD or MD, set the
MIC/LINE select switch to the LINE position. If you connect a mic,
set the switch to the MIC position.
For details on the sampling procedure, refer to 3. Basic operation
(Quick Start), p.23 “Recording a sample.”

” if sliced) to “99.” (displayed as “99.r” if sliced)
or from “00.S” to “49.S.” Samples from “00.” to “99.” are monau-
ral samples, and will be displayed as “00.
ll

“00.S” to “49.S” are stereo samples.
It is not possible to select a sample that has not been saved. If
no samples exists in the ES-1mk

’s sampling area, the display

Playing a sample
If you press the Play/Pause key or a sample part key 1—7B, the
sample will be played back. A slice sample can also be played by
pressing the Slice Sample part key.
In the case of a slice sample, the step keys will light to indicate steps
where there is sound, and you can press these keys to play the sample
sound at the corresponding location.
Even if the sample has been sliced, it will be played as a single
sample if you press a sample part key 1—7B.
Modifying a sample
The knobs and keys of the Part Edit section and Effect section can
be used to modify the sound while you are in Sample mode as well.
(☞p.33 “Pattern mode”)
The knobs and key on/off status in Sample mode is not saved
when you perform the Write operation.
The ROLL key has no effect in Sample mode.
