The SAMPLE Encode screen appears.

To Execute the Encode Operation
In the SAMPLE Encode screen, select the encode type, set the encode
depth, and delete or add events. Then touch <Execute>.
If you wish to stop the encode during the operation, touch <Abort>.
When encoding is completed, you will return to the SAMPLE Top
screen.
For details on these settings, refer to the following sections.
The amount of time required by the encoding process will
depend on the sample. You may need to wait a certain amount
of time for encoding to be completed.
Selecting the Encoding Type
You can choose from the following four types of encoding. Touch the
appropriate button to select a type.
fig.04-21
LITE
This is the simplest encoding type. When you sample on the V-
Synth, this type is selected by default. This type can be used with a
variety of sounds, but to obtain the highest quality we recommend
that you encode using one of the other types.
SOLO
This is suitable for monophonic vocals or monophonic wind
instruments (such as sax, trumpet, or flute). If you encode the sample
using this type, you will be able to control the formant (p. 45) and
use the robot voice function (p. 43). Even if you encode using SOLO,
you can still play the sample polyphonically.
BACKING
This is suitable for decay-type instruments. It is particularly suitable
for phrases that include instruments with a clear attack (such as
drums, percussion, and guitar chords).
ENSEMBLE
This is suitable for sustain-type instruments. It is particularly
suitable when there are smooth changes in tone (such as choir or
strings).
• If the data is encoded using “BACKING” or “ENSEMBLE,” it
will not be possible to use the formant control or robot voice
functions.
• Once a sample has been encoded, editing that sample (except for
some operations) will cause the encoded data to be discarded. If
you then access the SAMPLE Encode screen in this state, “LITE”
will always be selected as the encoding type. Select the
appropriate encoding type, and then re-encode the sample.
• Depending on the sample, encoding with “SOLO” may cause the
sound to be different than you expect, such as changes in pitch
being incorrect by one octave. If this occurs, re-encode the
sample using “BACKING” or “ENSEMBLE.”
• If a sample that contains large amounts of reverb or delay is
encoded using “SOLO,” it may not sound as you expect. If this
occurs, re-encode the sample using “BACKING” or
“ENSEMBLE.”
