1.
Set your external sequencer to operate as a “MIDI slave,” and connect MIDI cables as shown below.
For details, refer to the owner’s manual for your
external sequencer
.
2.
Perform all of the steps in “Preparations for Sampling” (p. 43), and make audio connections from your
external sound source to the SP-606.
3.
Go to the Play screen (p. 15).
4.
Press [SAMPLING] to get the SAMPLING MENU screen.
[SAMPLING] will blink.
5.
Press [F3] (EXT) to get the EXT SEQ SMPL STANDBY (External Sequence Sampling Standby) screen.
In the lower line of the screen, REMAIN indicates the length (remaining time) available for further
sampling. This time will change depending on the Stereo Sw (p. 48) and Sampling Grade (p. 43)
setting. It is shown in minutes and seconds.
From the screen of step 4, you can press [ ] to move the cursor to “Ext Seq Smpln” and then press
[ENTER] or [SAMPLING] to obtain the same result.
6.
The display will indicate “Select Pad”; press the desired pad to select it as the sampling destination.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to switch pad banks.
At this time, pads that do not contain samples will blink.
The upper line of the screen indicates the “pad bank number - pad number.”
If the selected pad already contains a sample, the message “A Sample Already Exists! Overwrite?”
will appear. If you are sure you want to sample into that pad, press [F3] (EXEC). If you decide to
cancel, press [F2] (CANCEL).
If the Pad Bank Protect setting is turned on for a bank, a lock symbol is displayed at the right of the
pad bank number shown in the upper left of the screen. If you press a pad of such a bank, the screen
will indicate “Protected Pad Bank!”, and the pad cannot be selected. If you want to sample into a
pad of this bank, you will have to turn off the Protect setting (p. 31).
7.
Use [ ][ ] to select the parameter that you want to edit.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to edit the parameter value.
