Program mode: HD-1
Source Direct Solo
This selects what is heard through the L/R outputs and
headphones when Sampling REC is enabled.
On (checked): Only the signal of the selected Source Bus
will be heard. This lets you hear only the sound that will be
sampled.
Off (unchecked): The signal of the selected Source Bus
will be merged with the main L/R signal. This is the default.
Note: If Source Bus is set to L/R, this setting is ignored–
since that signal is normally heard at the L/R outputs
already!
Trigger
Specifies how sampling will be initiated.
Sampling START SW: Pressing the SAMPLING REC
switch will cause the KRONOS to enter sampling-standby
mode, and sampling will begin when you press the
SAMPLING START/STOP switch.
Note On: Press the SAMPLING REC switch and then press
the SAMPLING START/STOP switch to enter sampling-
standby mode. Sampling will begin when you play the
keyboard.
Sampling will also begin if a MIDI note-on is received
(instead of playing the keyboard).
Regardless of the settings you're using, press the
SAMPLING START/STOP switch once again when you've
finished sampling. Alternatively, sampling will end
automatically if the specified "Sampling Time" elapses.
Metronome Precount
This specifies whether the metronome will sound a count-
down before sampling begins. This can be set only if
"Trigger" is set to Sampling START SW.
Off: Sampling will begin immediately when you press the
SAMPLING START/STOP switch from recording-standby
mode.
4, 8, 3, 6: When you press the SAMPLING START/STOP
switch from recording-standby mode, the metronome will
count the specified number of beats at the system tempo, and
then sampling will begin. If you set this to 4, sampling will
begin on the count of 0 after a pre-count of 4–3–2–1–0.
The output destination and level of the metronome sound are
specified by Metronome Setup (0–8d). If "Bus (Output)
Select" is set to L/R, the metronome will stop sounding the
instant sampling actually begins.
Save to
Specifies the destination to which the data will be written
during sampling.
RAM: The sound will be sampled into RAM for use in
Sampling mode. The Select Sample No. menu command
lets you specify the Sample numbers to use, enable Auto
+12dB, and make settings for automatic conversion to a
Program. For more information, see "Select Sample No." on
page 155.
Note: The amount of RAM available for Sampling mode is
shown by Free Sample Memory/Locations (Sampling 0–1f).
The amount of RAM available will vary depending upon
both the amount of physical RAM installed, and the size of
the currently loaded EXs and User Sample Banks. For more
information, see "Sampling and RAM" on page 687.

[Off, On]
[Sampling START SW, Note On]
[Off, 4, 8, 3, 6]
[RAM, DISK]
Samples saved to RAM will be lost when the power is
turned off, so you must save them if you want to keep
them.
DISK: Samples will be recorded to the internal disk or a
USB storage device.
When you sample, a WAVE file is created on the disk. Use
the Select Directory/File for Sample to Disk page menu
command to specify the writing-destination disk and
directory.
To open the resulting sample, you can either use Disk mode
to load the sample into Sampling Mode, or use Select
Directory/File for Sample to Disk to select the file and then
press the Play button or the SAMPLING START/STOP
switch.
Mode (Sampling Mode) [L-Mono, R-Mono, Stereo]
Specifies the channel(s) that you want to sample, and specify
whether a mono or stereo sample will be created.
The L and R channels of the bus specified by Source Bus
(0–8c) will be sampled.
L-Mono: The left channel of the Source Bus will be
sampled in mono.
R-Mono: The right channel of the Source Bus will be
sampled in mono.
Stereo: The L and R channels of the bus specified by Source
Bus will be sampled in stereo. This will create a stereo
multisample and samples. For more information, see "About
stereo multisamples and stereo samples" on page 693.
Sample Time
This sets the amount of time that you wish to sample. This
can be set in 0.001 second increments.
Immediately after the power is turned on, this parameter
shows the maximum available sampling time, equivalent to
the entire amount of free RAM. Each time you press STOP
after sampling to RAM, the change in remaining sample
time will be displayed automatically.
If Save to is set to DISK, the maximum value is determined
by the free space on the current disk, as specified by the
Select Directory/File for Sample to Disk menu command.
Tips: If you have sufficient RAM memory, it's a good idea to
set a generous amount of Sample Time. After you sample,
you can then use the Truncate menu command to delete
unwanted portions of the sample, and reduce it to the
minimum size necessary. For more information, see
"Truncate (for Sample Edit)" on page 745 and "Truncate (for
Loop Edit)" on page 752.
You can also press the SAMPLING START/STOP switch to
manually stop sampling after you have recorded the desired
material. For more details on sampling, see "Preparations for
sampling" on page 142 of the Operation Guide.
If Save to is set to RAM and Auto Optimize RAM is not
enabled, recording and editing multiple samples may
cause wasted space to accumulate in memory, decreasing
the amount of available RAM. In this case, use the
Optimize RAM menu command to recover the wasted
space. For more information, see "Auto Optimize RAM"
on page 768 and "Optimize RAM" on page 155.
Note: "Free Sample Memory/Locations" (Sampling 0–1f) in
Sampling mode lets you check the remaining amount of
RAM.
