Sampling (Open Sampling System)
Creating multiple samples
In the example procedure described above, several indexes
were created (by pressing the Create button several times),
and then samples were assigned to each Index.
As an alternative method, it is also possible to create one
index, sample into it, and then repeat these two steps.
1. Press the Create button once to create an index.
2. Record a sample.
The recorded sample will automatically be assigned to
the index you created in step 1.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
This is an efficient way to record multiple samples.
Assigning samples to the pads
In Sampling mode, you can use the pads to play samples
directly. The on-screen pads are available on the
P4:EQ/Controls page. USB controllers, MIDI input, and the
local keyboard can all control the pads as well; for more
details, see "Playing the pads" on page 39.
By default, pads 1–8 correspond to the C2–G2 keys. For
example, the default Index setting for 001/008 sets OrigKey
and Top Key to C2. The assigned sample will sound when
you play the C2 key. The same sample will also sound when
you play pad 1.
Similarly, if you assign samples to Index 002–008, the
samples that sound when you play the C#2–G2 keys will
also sound when you play pads 2–8.
For each pad, you can change the note numbers used to play
samples.
For example, you might assign the infrequently-played
highest eight notes of the keyboard to correspond to the
pads. To make the setting, select the note number field, and
play the desired key while holding down the ENTER switch.
