Chapter 8: Creating and Editing Sounds
<Keep&name>
If you liked it, press to keep it and go on to a screen
that allows you to name the new sound.
8. The sound must be assigned to a note number within a program
before it can be played by pads, sequences or the MIDI input. To do
this, press the PROGRAM/SOUNDS key and select option 1. Follow
the instructions in the "Creating and Editing Programs" chapter of
this manual.
9. It is a good idea to save your sound to disk now. IF YOU DON'T,
THE SOUND WILL BE LOST WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER
OFF! To save your sample to disk, follow the instructions in the
"Saving to and Loading from Disk" chapter of this manual for saving
a single sound to disk.
