4. Sample mode
Directly sampling the sound of
the ESX-1 (Resampling)
You can sample the sound of the ESX-1 as it is playing. This is called “resampling.”
Resampling lets you create a new sample that mixes several samples, or apply
effects to an existing sample and record the result as a new sample.
You cannot record a motion sequence and perform sampling at the
same time.
Resampling will capture the part(s) whose OUTPUT BUS is assigned
to L-R. You cannot resample the sound of parts that are assigned to
3-4.
Digital clipping may occur when you resample. If this occurs, lower
the part level and try sampling again.
You cannot resample the sound processed by the vacuum tubes.
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 SHIFT key and press the REC key to enter sampling-
ready mode. (The REC key and the PLAY/PAUSE key will blink.) If
you decide to cancel before you start sampling, press the STOP/
CANCEL key.
4. Set the sampling mode (the display indicates “SmplMode”). Turn
the dial to select stereo sampling (“Stereo”) or monaural sampling
(“Mono”).
5. Press the PLAY/PAUSE key, and sampling will begin at the speci-
fied timing. (The REC key will blink, and the PLAY/PAUSE key will
light.) To cancel sampling-ready mode, press the STOP/CANCEL
key.
6. Sampling will end when you press the STOP/CANCEL key. (The
REC key and PLAY/PAUSE key will go dark.)
If you press the REC key instead of pressing the STOP/CANCEL key,
sampling-ready mode will be cancelled and playback will continue.
(The REC key will go dark, and the PLAY/PAUSE key will be lit.)
7. Return to Sample mode, and press the PLAY/PAUSE key to hear
the results.
When you turn on the power (i.e., in the ESX-1’s initial state), the
sampling mode is set to “monaural.”
If you press the PLAY/PAUSE key during resampling, the pattern or
song playback will pause, but sampling will continue.
Resampling from the middle 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. Press the PLAY/PAUSE key to start playback of the pattern or song.
(The PLAY/PAUSE key will light.)
4. At the moment you want to start resampling, hold down the SHIFT
key and press the REC key. (The REC key will blink, and the PLAY/
PAUSE key will light.)
5. Press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop sampling. (The REC key and
the PLAY/PAUSE key will go dark.)
If you press the REC key without pressing the STOP/CANCEL key,
sampling will be stopped but playback will continue. (The REC key
will go dark and the PLAY/PAUSE key will light.)
The sampling mode (monaural/stereo) will be the setting described
in the preceding section, “Resampling from the beginning of a pat-
tern or song.”
