Saving a sample
If you want to keep a newly recorded or edited sample, you must perform this
Write operation.
If you edited a sample but decide that you want to return to its original state, simply
switch samples without writing.
1. Press the WRITE/RENAME key (the key will blink.) The display
will indicate the writing-destination sample number.
2. Use the dial to select the writing-destination sample number. For a
monaural sample you can select “000” through “255.” For a stereo
sample you can select “000. ” through “127 ”.
If you select an already-used sample number, an asterisk “*” is dis-
played following the sample number.
3. Press the WRITE/RENAME key once again, and the display will
show a progress indicator. When writing is completed, the display
will change to the writing-destination number, and the WRITE/RE-
NAME key will go dark.
If you decide to cancel, press the STOP/CANCEL key.
With the factory settings, memory protect is turned on, so you will be
unable to save. Turn memory protect off before you perform this op-
eration (☞p.83 “Memory protect”).
When you save a sample, the sample previously saved to the writ-
ing-destination will be overwritten.
When you save a sample, the ESX-1 optimizes the data locations in
internal memory. This will take a certain amount of time. While this is
being done, the display shows a progress indicator.
Never turn off the power until the Write operation has been com-
pleted (i.e., until the WRITE/RENAME key goes dark).
Saving a sample under a different name
1. Hold down the shift key and press the WRITE/RENAME key. (The
key will blink.) The parameter display will indicate “Rename,” and
the value display will show “(six characters of the sample name)”.
2.
Assign the name for the
sample
that you want to save.
Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to move the cursor to left or right in the
parameter display, and turn the dial to edit the parameter name. You
can assign a name of up to eight characters to the
sample
. When you
have finished assigning the name, press the WRITE/RENAME key.
3. Select the save-destination sample number.
The parameter display will indicate “WriteTo,” and the value dis-
play will indicate “(save-destination pattern number).”
4. Press the WRITE/RENAME key to begin saving the data. The
WRITE/RENAME key will light while the data is being saved, and
will go dark when saving is complete.If you decide to cancel, press
the STOP/CANCEL key.When saving is complete, the save-desti-
nation sample number will be selected.
If you saved while playing back, the playing sample will not change.
If you had initiated the saving process while a sample was playing
back, and you then canceled the save operation, playback will not
stop when you press the STOP/CANCEL key. Playback will stop if
you press the STOP/CANCEL key once again after canceling.
