Importing from an audio track/stereo track
to a pad
Here’s how a region of an already-recorded track of the
current song can be imported into a sample bank for
pads 1–4.
1
Play back the song, and find the track and
region that you want to import.
2
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 TRACK
Specifies the track from which the data will be
imported.
B From V.TR
Specifies the virtual track from which the data will
be imported.
C From Start
Specifies the beginning of the region that will be
imported.
D From End
Specifies the end of the region that will be
imported.
E To PAD
Selects the pad (1–4) to which the data will be
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.
3
Move the cursor to the From TRACK field,
and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select one of
the following as the import source track.
1–16...........................Import monaural audio from a
track 1–16.
1/2–15/16..................Import stereo audio from tracks 1/
2–15/16.

Tip!
If you import monaural audio from a track 1–16, the
same sample will be assigned to the left and right chan-
nels.

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 139.
6
Move the cursor to the To PAD and To BANK
fields, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to spec-
ify the pad number and sample bank into
which the data will be imported.

When you have finished making the settings,
move the cursor to the EXEC button and
press the [ENTER] key.
A popup window will ask you to confirm the opera-
tion.
8
To execute the import, move the cursor to
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 to the CANCEL button and press the [ENTER]
key.
Tip!
Tip!
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. 117).
The imported sample is saved together with the current
song.
Note
Note
•A total of up to 44 seconds (stereo) 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 exe-
cuted.
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 AW16G is
running.
