Skip Back Sampling - Roland Fantom-Xa Owner's Manual

Skip Back Sampling

Sometimes you may want to preserve a nice phrase that you
happened to play a bit earlier. In such cases, you can use the Skip
Back Sampling function to sample sounds played earlier in time.
When you execute skip-back sampling, several beats of your prior
performance are saved as a sample. You can assign this sample to a
pad and play it from the pad.
Button lit: Skip-back sampling can be performed.
Button unlit: Skip-back sampling cannot be performed. You
cannot use skip-back sampling if there is
insufficient free memory.
Skip Back Sampling will be executed.

113).
• Press [F6 (PREVIEW)] to audition the sample.
You can specify how far back sampling will occur when you
perform skip-back sampling (5–40 seconds). With the factory
settings this is set to 5 seconds.
Samples captured by Skip Back Sampling will be lost when you
turn off the power. If you want to keep the sample, perform the
Save procedure (p. 116).
