Start playback on the external device,

between the device and the instrument.
3-1 Set the volume of the external device to max-
imum.
3-2 Adjust the volume you hear from the instru-
ment by rotating the [MASTER VOLUME]
control.
NOTE
• When the sound is too low even though the external
device's volume is set to maximum, adjust the "AuxIn Vol"
in the Function Settings (page 66, Function 004). If you
increase the volume to more than 50, the audio device
sound may be distorted. In this case, turn down the vol-
ume level on the external device.

Sampling External Audio Sound

Up to five samples can be assigned to the keyboard
of this instrument. The samples can also be saved to
a USB flash drive (page 35).
Before you start sampling, make sure that the external
device's volume is set to maximum. If the volume is too
low, the instrument cannot sample the sound.
NOTICE
• The sampling operation will overwrite and erase previously
existing samples. Save important data you want to keep to
a USB flash drive (page 35).
NOTE
• The sampling format is two-channel stereo, 16-bit with a rate
of 44.1 kHz.
• If you want to use the metronome or Melody Suppressor
when sampling, set these functions beforehand. The Metro-
nome click is not sampled.
