Press the key to which the original voice of the sample is to be mapped.
The note number of the selected key will appear on the LCD display panel.
The key can also be selected by using the [+] and [–] buttons, the number
buttons, or the data dial to select the appropriate note number on the display
(the note numbers, 36 through 96, are listed above the keys). You can play
the pad while mapping to confirm the sound.
Press the [MAPPING] button or any other function button — the
[VOICE SELECT] button, for example — to exit from the mapping func-
tion.
• Normally the key to which a sample is mapped will become approxi-
NOTES
mately the center of its range. The actual range will depend on how
many of the four samples are recorded and to which keys they are
mapped.
• The default mapping assignments are restored for pads which are
cleared as described in "Clearing Samples": PAD 1 to C2, PAD 2 to
C3, PAD 3 to C4, and PAD 4 to C5.
• If you press several keys simultaneously while mapping the last key
pressed take priority.
• Mapping assignments are retained even if new samples are recorded.
• Mapping is not possible for: pads that contain no data ("No Wave
Data" error); a key that is already mapped ("Same Note" error).
The PSR-2700 is backed up by the backup batteries and will remain in-
tact as long as a good set of batteries is installed. Even if no batteries are
installed the memory will be maintained as long as the power plug is con-
nected to an AC outlet. It is always a good idea, however, to save samples
you want to keep to floppy disk. You can save either single voices or the
entire contents of the sample memory to disk as required. Full instructions
on floppy disk use are given in the "Floppy Disk" section beginning on
page 56.
