Sampling - Roland SPD-SX Owner's Manual

Sampling

You can create waves by sampling sounds.
The SPD-SX provides six different methods of sampling.

Sampling time
The SPD-SX allows you to sample approximately 180 minutes of stereo or approximately 360 minutes of monaural sound into
internal memory (including the preload waves).
MEMO
• You can check the sampling time that remains (p. 66).
• The amount of time over which sampling can take place at one time with MULTI PAD is equivalent to approximately one-
half of the available time that remains for all sampling.
