Sampling mode
Optimize RAM
This command optimizes the RAM memory.
When you execute the optimize command, any memory
areas containing unused data will be rearranged, allowing
you to utilize all of the remaining memory.
If you run out of memory, try executing Optimize RAM.
The remaining amount of RAM can be checked under "0–4a:
Free Sample Memory," as described on page 308.
1. Select "Optimize RAM" to open the dialog box.
2. Press the OK button to execute the optimize command,
or press the Cancel button to cancel without executing.
Note: If Auto Optimize RAM (Global 0–2a) is checked, RAM
will be optimized automatically.
Select Directory
This command lets you specify the save-destination media,
directory, and filename for the WAVE file that will be created
by sampling.
You can also use this Select Directory command to listen to
audio from a WAVE file that was saved to media.
The Select Directory command is available when Save to is
set to MEDIA.
Specifying the save-destination for a WAVE file
1. Select "Select Directory" to open the dialog box.
Media Select
2. Use Media Select to select the media into which the
data will be written during sampling.
3. Use the Open button and Up button to move between
directories.
4. In the "Name" field, specify a name for the WAVE file
that will be written during sampling.
If you check Take No., a two digit "take number" will be
added at the end of the filename when it is saved. The
number will automatically increment each time you sample.
When sampling repeatedly, this is convenient since it allows
each file to be saved with a different filename.
If Take No. is not checked, up to eight characters can be
entered in the "Name" field. If Take No. is checked, up to six
characters can be entered.
5. Press the Done button to complete the settings.
Playing back a WAVE file
1. Select "Select Directory" to open the dialog box.
2. Use Media Select, the Open button, and the Up button
to select the media and directory, and select the WAVE
file that you want to play.
Note: You can only play 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz WAVE files.

This command selects the range of the keyboard display.
Normally you will select 88Key Normal (A0–C8).
1. Select "Keyboard Display" to open the dialog box.
2. Use the radio buttons to select the displayed range.
3. To execute the Keyboard Display command, press the
OK button. To cancel, press the Cancel button.
Auto Sampling Setup
This command automatically sets various sampling-related
parameters for Sampling mode operations. You can use this
command when you want to sample an external audio
source, or when you want to apply an effect to a sample and
resample it. You can also use this command to initialize the
settings.
When you execute this command, the applicable
parameters will be set automatically. You cannot use the
COMPARE switch to recall the previous settings.
The settings are automatically made for the most
typical applications. After executing the auto setup
operation, you can further adjust any of the settings to
suit your needs as described in the "Note:" paragraphs
of each section.
1. Select "Auto Sampling Setup" to open the dialog box.
2. Use the radio buttons to select the type of settings you
want to make.
Initialize: Initialize the sampling-related parameters to their
default values.
REC Audio Input: Make settings for sampling an external
audio source.
Auto Resample through IFX: Make settings for applying an
effect to a sample and resampling it.
3. Specify the conditions. These will depend on what you
select in step 2.
If you select Initialize:
Press the OK button to initialize the settings, or press the
Cancel button if you decide not to execute.
