Saving & Renaming
We recommend doing some renaming of your programs and samples before going further.
The collection of drum samples you loaded earlier (and their respective pad assignments) are arranged into a
program. When you load this program in the future, you will be able to use all of the samples that belong to it.
Let's rename the exisiting program as we'll want to create more programs later on.
To rename a program:
1. Press Main to enter Main Mode.
2. In the Program section in the lower part of the screen, tap the cursor icon on the right edge.
3. Use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a new name (e.g., Drums), and then tap Do It.
To rename your samples:
1. Press Menu to enter the Menu, and then tap Sample Edit to enter Sample Edit Mode.
2. The Sample field at the top of the screen will show the name of a sample. Select a sample in one of the following
ways:
•
When the Sample field is selected, use the data dial or –/+ buttons to change it.
•
Double-tap the Sample field and tap one in the list that appears.
3. Tap the keyboard icon next to it to rename the current sample.
4. Use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a new name (e.g., Kick, Snare, etc.), and then tap Do It.
Repeat Steps 2–4 to rename other samples.
