Here’s how a region of an already-recorded track of the current song can be imported into a sam-
ple bank for pads 1–4.
1
Play back the song, and find the track and
region that you want to import.

In the Quick Loop Sampler section, repeat-
edly press the [SAMPLE EDIT] key or hold
down the [SAMPLE EDIT] key and use the
CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to access the TR
IMPORT page of the SAMPLE screen.
This page contains the following items.
1 From TR

imported.

Specifies the virtual track from which the data will be
imported.

imported.

imported.
F To BANK
Selects the sample bank (A–D) to which the data will
be imported.
G NAME
Indicates the name of the sample that is currently
assigned to the sample bank you specified as the
import destination. If no sample is currently assigned,
this will indicate [-NO REC-]. This item is for display
only, and cannot be edited.

Move the cursor to the From TR field, and
turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select one of
the following as the import source track.

Move the cursor to the V.TR field, and turn
the [DATA/JOG] dial to select a virtual track
1–8 as the import destination.
5
Move the cursor to the From Start and From
End fields, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to
specify the start and end of the region that
will be imported.
The units by which you specify the location will
depend on the current counter display method. For
details on the counter display, refer to page 146.

Move the cursor to the To PAD and To BANK
fields, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to
specify the pad number and sample bank
into which the data will be imported.

tings, move the cursor to the EXEC button
and press the [ENTER] key.
A popup window will ask you to confirm the opera-
tion.

the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.
The data will begin being read from the track. If you
decide to cancel the import operation, move the cursor

Importing from an audio track/stereo track to a pad

41 32
If you import monaural audio from a track 1–16, the same
sample will be assigned to the left and right channels.
HINT
The imported sample will be assigned the same name as the
track from which the data was imported. You are free to edit
this name later (
p. 121).
The imported sample is saved together with the current song.
HINT
•A total of up to approximately 47 seconds (approximately 29
seconds in 24-bit songs) of samples can be imported into the
Quick Loop Sampler. If you specify a region that exceeds this
amount, an error message will be displayed, and the import
operation cannot be executed.
If you import once again into the same pad and sample bank,
that sample will be overwritten by the newly imported data. If
you want to keep the previously-imported sample, you must
import the new data into a different pad or sample bank.
It is not possible to import samples while the AW1600 is run-
ning.
