Playing samples

On the microSAMPLER, you'll use the keyboard to play samples.
The microSAMPLER's keyboard can operate in one of two modes: Sample
mode or Keyboard mode.
For an explanation of each mode, refer to "2. Playing samples" (☞p.15).

1. Loop playback

If the sample is set to LOOP ON, it will continue playing even after you take
your finger off the key to which that sample is assigned.
1.
Hold down the [LOOP HOLD] button, and press a key to which the
sample set to LOOP ON is assigned.
When the sample plays, it will be held so that playback will continue
even after you take your finger off the key.
2.
To cancel the Hold status, press the [LOOP HOLD] button once again.
Playback will stop, and the note will turn off.
Holding multiple samples
Hold down the [LOOP HOLD] button and press the keys that you want to
hold. If a key is already being held, and you want to add the samples of
other keys to the currently-playing sample, hold down the [LOOP HOLD]
button and press the keys for the samples you want to add.
Alternatively, you can hold down the keys that you want to hold and then
press the [LOOP HOLD] button.
Defeating the Hold status of a playing sample
When multiple samples are being held, and you want to defeat the Hold sta-
tus for just one of the currently-playing samples, hold down the [LOOP
HOLD] button and press the key of the sample you want to cancel. Hold
will be cancelled for that key, and playback will stop.

Editing a sample

You can modify each sample in various ways, such as by specifying how it
will play. This section explains how to edit the sample parameters, and
describes what each parameter does.
