Metronome Precount [Off, 4, 8, 3, 6]
This specifies whether the metronome will sound a count-
down when you begin sampling with the “Trigger” setting
Sampling START SW.
This can be set only if “Trigger” is set to Sampling START
SW.
Off: When you press the SAMPLING [START/STOP] key
from recording-standby mode, sampling will begin immedi-
ately.
4, 8, 3, 6: When you press the SAMPLING [START/STOP]
key from recording-standby mode, the specified number of
beats will be counted at the “ (Tempo)” (0–1a) tempo before
sampling will begin. If this is set to 4, sampling will begin on
the count of 0 after a count-down of 4–3–2–1–0.
The output destination and level of the metronome
sound are specified by the page menu command “Met-
ronome Setup” (0–3A). If “BUS (Output) Select” is set
to L/R, the metronome will stop sounding the instant
sampling begins.
Save to [RAM, DISK]
Specifies the destination to which the data will be written
during sampling.
RAM: Sample into sample memory (RAM).
If you sample into sample memory (RAM), you will be able
to immediately hear the sample in Program mode or Sam-
pling mode.
Settings for the writing destination RAM Bank and Sample
No., and settings for automatically converting the sample to
a program, are made by the page menu command “Select
Bank & Smpl No.” (0–3C).
If the sample is written into RAM, it will be lost when
the power is turned off, so you will need to save the
sample if you want to keep it.
DISK: Samples to the internal hard drive or to an external
hard drive connected to the SCSI connector.
A WAVE file will be created when you sample.
To listen to the sampled result, you can either load the sam-
ple into sample memory (RAM) in Disk mode, or use the
page menu command “Select Directory” (0–3D) etc. to select
the file and then press the SAMPLING [START/STOP] key.
Use the page menu command “Select Directory” to specify
the writing-destination drive, directory, and filename.
A single sample (WAVE file) loaded from hard disk into
sample memory (RAM) may not exceed 16 MB for
mono or 32 MB for stereo (however, sample memory
must be expanded to 32 MB or more).
It is not possible to sample directly to CD-R/RW. Also,
we do not recommend sampling to a removable disk.
Mode (Sample Mode) [L-Mono, R-Mono, Stereo]
Selects the channel(s) that will be sampled, to specify
whether the sample created will be mono or stereo.
The sound being sent to the internal L and/or R bus or the
internal Indiv.1 and/or 2 bus selected by the “Source BUS”
(0–3b) setting will be sampled.
L-Mono: The internal L channel or internal Indiv.1 channel
(as specified by “Source BUS”) will be sampled in mono.
R-Mono: The internal R channel or internal Indiv.2 channel
(as specified by “Source BUS”) will be sampled in mono.
Stereo: The internal L and R channels or internal Indiv.1
and 2 channels (as specified by “Source BUS”) will be sam-
pled in stereo. This will create a stereo sample. (☞Sampling
P0: 0–1c)
Sample Time [min sec]
Specifies the length of time that you want to sample. This
can be set in units of minutes and 0.001 second.
This parameter indicates amount of remaining memory in
the selected memory bank (the available sampling time). If
you sample in this state ([REC]→[START]→[STOP]), this
display will change automatically to indicate the remaining
time.
If you have enough free space in sample memory (RAM), it
is a good idea to set “Sample Time” generously, and then
after recording the sample, use the page menu command
“Truncate” (Sampling P1: 1–1A, P2: 2–1A) to delete the
unneeded portion, making the sample as compact as possi-
ble. You can also stop recording by pressing the SAMPLING
[START/STOP] key manually after the desired portion has
been sampled. (Sampling methods ☞BG p.45)
If the writing-destination (“Save to”) is RAM, the maximum
value will be calculated from the amount remaining in the
selected Bank. (☞Sampling P0: 0–1c “Bank (RAM Bank)”)
If the writing-destination (“Save to”) is DISK, the maxi-
mum value will be calculated from the remaining capacity
of the disk specified by “Select Directory.” A maximum of 80
minutes can be sampled in one sample file for either mono
or stereo (monaural: approximately 440 MB, stereo: approxi-
mately 879 MB).
If the writing-destination (“Save to”) is RAM, leaving
“Auto Optimize RAM” (Global P0: 0–3b) unchecked
will allow wasted space to increase, decreasing the
available sample memory (RAM). In this case, execute
the page menu command “Optimize RAM” to elimi-
nate the wasted space.
The remaining amount of RAM can be checked in Sam-
pling mode P0: Recording, Memory Status.
The various Sampling Setup settings apply to the entire
Program mode, not just to an individual program.
0–3c: Recording Level [dB]
ADC OVERLOAD !!
The “ADC OVERLOAD !!” indication will appear if the sig-
nal level from AUDIO INPUT 1, 2 is too high. In this case,
adjust the [LEVEL] knob or the output level of the external
audio source. (☞Sampling P0: 0–1d “Recording Level [dB]”)
Recording Level [–inf, –72.0...0.0...+18.0 dB]
Adjusts the signal level at the final stage of sampling
(☞Sampling P0: 0–1d). Sample at the highest level that does
not make the level meter indicate CLIP.
Adjusting the “Recording Level” will not change the
sound that is output, but will affect the data that is
being sampled. This means that the sampled sound
may be distorted even if the sound you hear is not dis-
torted.
This setting defaults to –12 dB when you turn on the power.
At a setting of –12 dB, CLIP will not appear even if you play
the program at its maximum level.
The “+12 dB” (Sampling P2: 2–1c) setting is applied to
samples that you recorded into sample memory (RAM)
when “Save to” (0–3b) is set to RAM. When “+12 dB” is
on, the playback level will increase by approximately
+12 dB.
If you check the “Auto +12 dB On” check box in the
page menu command “Select Bank & Smpl No.” (0–
3C), the “+12 dB” setting will automatically be turned
on during sampling.
