BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)
Your PSX™ comes with a built in sampler. You may store up to three samples on the three FLASH BUTTON (6)
(Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT or a SAMPLE into a FLASH BUTTON (6), not
both).Your sample can be a maximum of 7 seconds in length. A sample can be recalled while a CD is playing, or
while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE. You may play your sample at anytime without music interruption. If you
play your sample when the unit is already in playback mode you sample will over lap the current music source.
You can also play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approximately
384 (128 x 3) samples in a drives memory (depending on available memory). The MEMORY BUCKET (52) on
the LCD DISPLAY (1) will approximate the remaining memory.
To create a sample:
1) Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 15). If your loop is longer than 6.5 seconds it
can not be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.
2) Press the MEMORY BUTTON (7). The
MEMORY CUE BUTTON (1) Red LED will
glow indicating memory is ready to be stored.
4) The red MEMORY BUTTON (7) LED will turn off, when your sample is locked
into memory.
