sample.
Move the cursor to the desired sample. Normally, you will select

• Change the number in steps of eight by pressing [
• Change the number in steps of one by touching <▲><▼>
located beside the sample list, by pressing
[ ][ ][INC][DEC], or by turning the VALUE dial.
• Scroll the sample list by dragging the scroll bar located beside
the sample list up or down.
• Move to the number 001 sample by touching <Top>.
• Move to the number 999 sample by touching <End>.
• Display information on the currently selected sample by
touching <Info> (p. 112). However, this information will not be
displayed for the factory-set waves.
• Audition the currently selected sample by touching <Prevw>.
• When you touch <Search Empty>, you will jump to the "NO
SAMPLE" sample number that follows the current sample
number.
4. Touch <Sampling>.
The SAMPLING Template screen appears.

][ ].
• When sampling from the MIC jack, adjust the level by turning
the front panel INPUT knob.
• When sampling from the INPUT jacks, setting the "INPUT Jack
Gain" (p. 126).
• If you are sampling from the DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE IN
connector, use the setup Pre-gain (p. 110) or the pre-effect
Output Level (p. 110, p. 111) settings to adjust the level.
10.Touch <START> to start sampling.
The way in which sampling will start depends on the Trigger
Mode setting in the SAMPLING General screen, as follows.
If "MANUAL" is selected, sampling will start after a count of the
number of measures specified by the metronome Count-In
setting.
If "MIDI" is selected, sampling will wait for the sequencer to
start (system realtime message: FA). Sampling will begin when
the sequencer start message is received.
If "LEVEL" is selected, sampling will wait for an input signal.
Sampling will begin when the input signal exceeds the level
specified by Trigger Level (p. 110).
If "NOTE" is selected, Sampling will begin when you play the
keyboard or note message is received.
If you have selected "MIDI" or "LEVEL," you can touch
<START> once again to begin sampling without waiting for the
sequencer to start or the input signal to be received.
In the SAMPLING window, "Remain Time" indicates the
remaining time (in seconds) available for sampling.
If memory becomes full, sampling will be halted. If this occurs,
delete unneeded samples from memory (p. 109).
11.When you are finished sampling, touch <STOP>.
The display will indicate "COMPLETED!" Touch <PREVIEW>
to hear the sound that you sampled, and check whether the
sample was recorded as you wish.
12.Operations from this point will depend on what you want to
do.
<Cancel>: Discard the sample that you just recorded, and return
to the SAMPLING Template screen.
<OK>: Finalize the sample that you just recorded, and register it
in the sample list.
<RETRY>: Discard the sample that you just recorded, and
sample once again.
