Sampling mode
Index
Selects the index for which you wish to sample.
Each zone in a multisample is called an Index. For example
on the 61 note keyboard, a multisample could be divided
into six zones of one octave (12 keys) each. Each of these
zones is referred to as an Index. You will assign a sample to
each of these indexes.
xxx: The selected index. Choose the desired index.
yyy: The total number of indexes in the multisample.
Note: You can also select an index by holding down the
ENTER switch and playing a note on the keyboard or pad.
The index that includes this note will be selected. The key
you specify will be the base key, and will be displayed in
blue in "Keyboard & Index" (Keyboard & Index 0–1a).
This parameter can also be set from P1–P3: Multisample.
Sampling and editing in the respective page will apply to
the index that you select here.
Immediately after the power is turned on, this will be 001/
008. This indicates that there are eight indexes, and that
currently the first index is selected.
To increase the number of indexes, use Create in this page.
When you press the Create button, indexes will automatically
be added from the left-most zone, as 002/002, 003/003, ...
(The position, zone width, and original key location of the
index that is created when you press the Create button can
be set in Create Zone Preference (0–3a, 3–2a). You are also
free to modify the zone width and original key location
later.)
Here you can set the sample, original key, and range of the
selected index.
0–1b: Sample Select, Original Key, Top
Key, Create
Sample Select [----: ---No Assign----, 0000...3999]
Selects a sample that you sampled or loaded in Media mode,
and play a note within the index range to sound that
sample. The sample you select here is the sample that will be
affected by your sampling and editing operations in the
various pages. This parameter is also available in P1–P3.
----: ---No Assign----: No sample is assigned to the index.
There will be no sound when you play the keyboard.
To record a sample, select a vacant sample such as 0000:.
When you record a sample, data will be loaded into the
selected sample. The sample name (such as
NewSample_0000) will be shown beside the number. This
sample name can be modified using the Rename Sample
menu command.
You can also record a sample even when ----:---No Assign----
is displayed. In this case, a sample number will be selected
automatically.
Even if you record to a sample that already contains data,
the selected sample will not be overwritten –the data will
automatically be sampled to a vacant sample, and the newly
recorded sample will replace the previous sample in the
index. If you wish to delete a sample, execute the Delete
Sample menu command.

[xxx (001...128)/yyy (001...128)] OrigKey (Original Key)
Specifies the key that will play the sample at its original
pitch (i.e., the pitch at which it was recorded). The pitch will
change in semitone steps relative to the original key.
For example, suppose that you recorded a sample with
OrigKey of F2. When the zone of the index is C2–B2,
pressing the F2 key would playback the sample at its
original pitch. Pressing F#2 would playback the sample a
semitone higher. Pressing E2 would playback the sample a
semitone lower. The pitch of this sampled sound will change
in semitone steps between C2 and B2, centered at F2.
The original key location can also be viewed in "Keyboard &
Index."
Note: If Constant Pitch (3–1b) is checked, the sample will be
sounded at its original pitch by all notes in the zone.
Top Key
Specifies the highest key in the zone of the index. The zone
is defined by this Top Key.
For example, suppose that you set a Top Key of B2 for index
001/002, and a Top Key of B3 for index 002/002. This means
that the zone of index 001 will be B2 and lower, and the zone
of index 002 will be C3–B3.
Range
This indicates the zone (area) that was determined by the
Top Key setting.
The sample selected by Sample Select will sound in this
area. The zone for each index can also be viewed in
"Keyboard & Index."
Create
This creates an index. Use this when you wish to add a
sample to a multisample.
When you press the Create button, a new index will be
created according to the Create Zone Preference (0–3a, 3–2a)
parameters Position, Zone Range, and Original Key
Position.
If you wish to delete an index or exchange indexes, use P3:
Multisample Edit.
If when you execute Create (0–1b, 3–1b) or Insert (3–1b)
it is not possible to create a new index according to
your Create Zone Preference (0–3a, 3–2a) settings, one
of the following dialog boxes will appear. If you wish to
create a new index, perform the following procedure.
• Set Top Key: Select Index 001, set Position (0–3a, 3–2a)
to Left (to Selected Index), and execute Create or Insert
to open the dialog box. So that a new index can be
created at the left of index 1, re-set the Top Key setting,
and press the OK button.
• Set Zone Range: If you execute Create when it is not
possible to create a new index according to the Create
Zone Preference settings, the following dialog box will
appear. This dialog box will also appear if you execute
Insert when it is not possible to create a new index with
the contents of the Cut or Copy (3–1b). Re-set the Zone
Range (0–3a, 3–2a), and press the OK button.
