Sampling (Open Sampling System)
Next, let's change the Trigger setting. This controls how
sampling will start. Currently, it's set to start when you press
the Sampling START/STOP button. We'll change it to make
sampling start when the audio input exceeds a specified
volume.
10.Go back to the Sampling P0: Recording– Audio Input
page.
11.Make the following settings.
Trigger: Threshold
With this setting, sampling will start when the input
exceeds a specific volume.
Threshold Level: –30 dB
From the record-ready state, recording will start
automatically when the audio input exceeds –30 dB.
Pre Trigger REC: 005ms
Recording will begin immediately (5 ms) before
sampling is started, so that the attack of the sound is not
lost.
Set the recording level
12.Speak or sing at the volume you intend to record.
If the "ADC OVERLOAD !" (AD converter input
overload) indication appears, turn the rear panel LEVEL
knob toward MIN to adjust the level appropriately.
For the best sound, adjust the level as high as possible
without allowing the "ADC OVERLOAD !" indication to
appear.
13.Press the SAMPLING REC switch.
Speak into the mic, and notice that the level meter
indicates the volume of the sound that will be recorded.
If the "CLIP!" indication appears, use the VALUE
controller to lower the Recording Level slider (shown in
the right of the display) from the 0.0 setting to an
appropriate position.

14.When you've finished making adjustments, press the
SAMPLING REC switch.
Record
15.Press the SAMPLING REC switch.
The KRONOS will be in record-ready mode.
16.Speak into the mic, saying the word(s) you want to
sample.
(Example: "It's")
Recording will start when the level exceeds the Level –30
dB setting.
17.When you've finished saying the word(s), press the
SAMPLING START/STOP switch.
This completes the sampling operation. The new sample
will be automatically assigned to "Sample (Sample
Select)."
Hear the sampled result
18.The sample you just recorded will (by default) be
assigned to Index 001. When you press the "OrigKey"
key (C2) for Index 001, you will hear the sound you
just sampled.
Notice that the sample will loop (play repeatedly) if you
hold down the key. We're going to turn looping off.
Turn looping off
19.Press the Loop Edit tab to go to the P2: Loop Edit
page.
Uncheck Loop. Now the sample will not loop even if you
hold down the C2 key.
