Quick Start
6.
Adjust the volume of your CD player.
Turn the CTRL 3 (LEVEL) knob all the way to the right, then
adjust the volume of the connected CD player so the PEAK
indicator lights occasionally.
If the PEAK indicator does not light even when you’ve turned
the CTRL 3 (LEVEL) knob all the way toward the right, the
volume of your audio input source may be too low. You could
simply proceed with sampling, but in order to get the best
possible audio quality, we recommend that you adjust the
volume of your audio input source so that the PEAK indicator
lights occasionally.
7.
Play back the sound you want to sample, and press [REC]
at the moment you want to begin sampling.
[REC] lights, and sampling begins.
8.
Press [REC] at the moment you want to stop sampling.
Pad 9 and [REC] go out.
If you exceed the available sampling time, “FuL” appears in the
display and sampling will end automatically. For details on the
messages that appear in the display, refer to “Message List” (p.
49).
9.
Press pad 9 to play back the sound you just sampled.
If the beginning or end of the sample contains unwanted sound
or silence, you can make settings so that only the desired
portion of the sample is played. For details, refer to “Omitting
Unwanted Portions of the Sample (Marker/Start Point/End
Point)” (p. 30).
Here’s how to delete the sampled sound and try again from step
4
of
“Sample Your Own Sounds.” Proceed as follows.
1.
Press [DEL] so it’s lit.
Pads to which a sample is displayed start blinking.
“dEL” appears in the display.
2.
Press the pad to which the sample you want to delete is
assigned.
The pad lights, and [DEL] starts blinking.
3.
Press [DEL].
[DEL] changes from blinking to lit, and the dot in the display
starts blinking.
Once the sample has been deleted, the blinking stops.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. If you turn
off the power during this time, not only the sample you’re
deleting but the data of other samples may also be lost.
