0–3a: Create Zone Preference
These settings define the initial state of the indexes that are
created when you press the Create button (0–1b, 3–1c). Each
new index will be created according to the settings you
make here, but you are free to modify the settings later.
Position
[Right (to Selected Index), Left (to Selected Index)]
Specifies whether the new index will be created at the right
or left of the selected index.
Right (to Selected Index): The new index will be created at
the right of the currently selected index.
Left (to Selected Index): The new index will be created at
the left of the currently selected index.
Zone Range [1 Key...127 Keys]
Specifies the key range of the newly created index.
1Key: Each individual note of the keyboard will be an index.
The sample of an index will sound at its original key when
you play that note. This setting can be used similarly to pad
(keyboard) type samplers.
2 Keys–127 Keys: The sample will change pitch in semitone
steps across the specified number of keys, centered on the
original key “OrigKey” (0–1b, 3–1b). If “Constant Pitch” (3–
1b) is checked, the pitch will not change.
Original Key Position [Bottom, Center, Top]
Specifies where the original key will be located in the zone
(specified by “Zone Range”) for a newly created index.
Bottom: The lowest key in the zone will be the original key.
Center: The middle key in the zone will be the original key.
Top: The top key in the zone will be the original key.
0–3b: REC Sample Preference
Auto Loop On [Off, On]
On (checked): The recorded sample will automatically be
played with looping turned on ( ☞“Loop” (2–1c)).
Auto +12 dB On [Off, On]
This setting is used when you sample into sample memory
(RAM) with “Save to” (0–1c) set to RAM. This setting is not
used if “Save to” is set to DISK.
On (checked): The “+12 dB” (2–1c) setting will automati-
cally be turned on for the samples you record. Samples for
which “+12 dB” is on will play approximately +12 dB louder
than if the “+12 dB” setting was off.
When you rip audio from an audio CD in the P5: Audio
CD page, “+12 dB” will be turned off even if “Auto +12
dB On” is turned on.
You will normally turn this off (unchecked) when you sam-
ple an external audio source in Sampling mode, or apply
insert effects to a sample and resample it. (In Sampling
mode, the power-on default for this setting is Off.)
When you are sampling more than one external audio
source, or an audio source mixed with your keyboard per-
formance, set “Recording Level” to approximately –12.0
(dB) so that the recording level will be the optimum level
that does not cause clipping. This will allow the sampled
data to be recorded at the ideal level, but the playback level
will be lower than it was during sampling. In such cases you
can check “Auto +12 dB On” when you resample, so that
“+12 dB” (2–1c) will be turned on, causing the playback
level to be the same as the level during sampling.
The “Auto +12 dB On” setting is set separately for each
mode: Program, Combination, Sequencer, and Sam-
pling.
0–3c: Metronome Setup
BUS(Output) Select [L/R, 1, 2, 3, 4]
Specifies the output destination of the metronome sound
played by “Metronome Precount” (0–2b).
L/R: The metronome will be output from OUTPUT (MAIN)
L/Mono, R, and the headphones.
1, 2, 3, 4: The metronome will be output from OUTPUT
(INDIVIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, or 4 respectively.
Level [000...127]
Specifies the level of the metronome sound played by “Met-
ronome Precount”
0–4: Memory Status
0–4a: Free Sample Memory
This shows the remaining amount of memory (the time
available for sampling, the size of the sample files that can
be loaded in Disk mode, or the size available for editing) in
RAM banks 1–6. The amount is shown in seconds, bytes,
and a percentage (%). The display will depend on the
amount of memory that is installed (☞“RAM Bank” 0–1c).
0–4b: Free Number
This shows the number of multisamples and samples that
can be handled, and the maximum number of samples that
can be used by multisamples. The remaining number and
percentage (%) relative to this maximum is also displayed.
