Sampling

To start sampling first see to it that you've used the sampling menu described above, and
make sure you enabled sampling start position. You can turn on "looping rec" as well if you
want to use the GR-1 for live sampling and replay simultaneously.

Now make sure you're in the main screen and then press Select. A red wiper should appear
and should start running forward. 27 fit doesn't, then replug the USB cable. The GR-1 will
now record the incoming sound into the buffer.
Sampling is done 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, mono. Multi-channel sources are converted back to mono.
You can use the play button and scan knob to play through the buffer at different speeds,
