Sampling a Sound and Playing It
on the Keyboard (Sampling)
You can use the Digital Keyboard to sample a sound from a
portable audio player, or other device, and then play the
sound with the keyboard keys or voice pads. For example,
you could sample the bark of your dog and then use the
sound in a melody. You also can sample and use passages
from a CD. The sampling feature is a great way to create new
sounds that are highly creative.
