/ Sampling
I
1.
Once you have adjusted the recording level and designated
the desired sampling
frequency,
you are ready to
sample.
Press the
NEW
button.
The LED indicator will light. This in-
dicates that the unit is standby for
sampling.
2.
Using a microphone, make a sample. Say "ahh
...
" for example.
The LED indicator should start blinking from the moment you
begin speaking into the microphone. After blinking for the
length of time of the designated sampling frequency, the LED
indicator will go out automatically. This indicates the comple-
tion of the sampling
process.
Automatic Trigger
Because the S612 contains an automatic trigger circuit, it will
automatically start the sampling process when the sound
level reaches a certain preset level. You will notice that the
unit may start off the process prematurely by picking up sur-
rounding noise when the sampling is done through a microph-
one.
On the other hand, when the recording level is too low,
Cancelling the Sampling Standby Mode
To cancel the sampling standby mode, press the
NEW
button
again
.
The LED will go out.
3. Thus, sampling has been completed. This sampled sound
data will be maintained until either the power is turned off, the
process is repeated for another sampling or other sampled
data is loaded from the
disk.
*
If necessary, save the sound data for later use with the
specially designed Sampler Disk Drive MD280 (optional).
Refer to page 22.
4. You should now be able to enjoy six-voice polyphonic,
veloci-
ty touch sensitive sounds, from the S612, by playing
MIDI
keyboard instruments.
Note:
All six voices may not be able to be heard when music
is played mostly on the keys around the fifth octave (the
highest octave range for the AX80). This is not a defect
in the unit.
5. After connecting the
MIDI
keyboards, if sampling is done with-
out any keys being pressed down, the sampling frequency
will be set at 16 kHz with a sample time of 2 seconds.

(Blinking)
the sampling process may not begin because the sound level
is not high enough to trigger the circuit. In which case, after
increasing the recording level, reset the unit by pressing the
NEW
button again to get it into the standby mode, then start
sampling.

Cautions when Designating the Sample
Frequency
Release
1.
Because the last key to be pressed down will determine the
sampling frequency, if connected with
MIDI
keyboards, make
sure to press down the key to designate the frequency before
going through the sampling process.
2. The range of the keys to which a sampling frequency can be
designated is between
MIDI
key number 36 (C2) and 72 (C5).
The keys out of this range are invalid.
