Dividing a Sample During Sampling

1.
During sampling, press [F8 (Divide)].
The sample will be divided at the point where you pressed the
button, and the subsequent material will be sampled as a
sample of the next number.
* When sampling in mono, you can divide the material into a maximum
of 256 samples. When sampling in stereo, you can divide the material
into a maximum of 128 samples (L/R total 256 samples).

Sampling Earlier in Time
(Skip Back Sampling)
Skip Back Sampling is a function that lets you sample what were
playing immediately prior to that point, even if you were not
recording. When you press the SKIPBACK button, the performance
that you were playing for a certain length of time before that
moment will be sampled.
This is extremely convenient if you've been playing a phrase
repeatedly, and want to sample it only after you've managed to play
it correctly.

Samples captured by Skip Back Sampling will be lost when you
turn off the power. If you want to keep the sample, perform the
Save procedure (p. 274).
You can specify how far back sampling will occur when you
perform skip-back sampling (5–40 seconds). With the factory
settings this is set to 10 seconds ("Skip Back Time" (p. 302)).
