Creating a Voice by using the Sampling function
Sampling is a powerful function that lets you bring your own recorded sounds – your voice, an instrument, rhythms, special
sound effects, etc. – into the system of this synthesizer, and play those sounds just like any other voices. These sounds, the
audio data you capture with the Sampling function, are referred to as “Samples.”
The data you create by Sampling differs depending on which mode you enter the Sampling mode from — the Voice/
Performance mode or the Song/Pattern mode. In this section, we’ll describe how to use the Sampling function from the Voice/
Performance mode in creating a User Voice.
n See page 173 for instructions on using the Sampling function in the Song mode/Pattern mode.
In order to use the Sampling function, DIMM modules must be installed to the instrument. For details on installing DIMMs, see page 289.
Depending on the size of the audio (sample) data obtained via the Sampling function, you may not be able to save all of the desired data to a SmartMedia
card (maximum capacity: 128MB). For this reason, we recommend using a large-capacity USB storage device for your Sampling data.
