The sample may sound slightly different each time it is played.

In particular, the sample may not play if the distance between
the start and end is 40 or less.
Directly sampling the sound
of the ES-1

II
(Resampling)
The sound being played back by the ES-1mk
II
can be sampled di-
rectly. This is called “resampling.” By resampling, you can create a
sample that combines multiple samples, or use the sound of effects
applied to an existing sample as a new sample.
If you have modified the Start, End, or Fade-out values in
Sample mode, or have executed Normalize, Truncate, or Time
Slice, you will not be able to Resample in Pattern mode until
you write the sample or select another sample to discard the
changes.
A newly sampled sample is displayed as “- -.” (or “- -.S” for a
stereo) in Sample mode.
If you sample again without saving the sample, the previous
sample data will be lost.
A sample cannot be used in Pattern mode unless it has been
saved.
It is not possible to record a motion sequence and a sample at
the same time.
Resampling from the beginning of
a pattern or song
1. Make sure that you are in Pattern mode or Song mode.
2. Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.
3. Hold down the PATTERN SET key and press the Rec key to
enter sampling-ready mode (the Rec key will light, and the
PATTERN SET key and Play/Pause key will blink). The dis-
play will blink to indicate the sampling method (monaural/
stereo).
4. Rotate the dial to select monaural (“
n
no”) or stereo (“StE”).
5. When you press the Play/Pause key, the pattern or song will
begin playing, and at the same time sampling will begin. (The
PATTERN SET key and the Play/Pause key will light.)
6. When you press the Stop/Cancel key, the pattern or song play-
back will stop, and sampling will also stop. (The PATTERN SET
key, Rec key, and Play/Pause key will go dark.)
Alternatively if you press the Rec key without pressing the Stop/
Cancel key, sampling will stop but playback will continue. (The
PATTERN SET key and Rec key will go dark, and the Play/Pause
key will be lit.)
To cancel sampling-ready mode, press the Stop/Cancel key.
