What Is Sampling - Yamaha SU200 Owner's Manual

What is Sampling?

The SU200 records sound from a microphone or from input from a CD player or similar audio device. This
recording process is called sampling, and the recorded sounds are called samples. You can record a sample
into each pad, and play the sample back by pressing the pad. The SU200 can store up to 24 samples (3 banks
8 pads) in its internal memory.
Samples are stored in digital form, just like recordings on an audio CD. The SU200 is capable of CD-quality
recording.
