Sampling (Open Sampling System)
Creating multiple samples
In the example procedure described above, several
indexes were created (by pressing the Create button
several times), and then samples were assigned to each
Index.
As an alternative method, it is also possible to create
one index, sample into it, and then repeat these two
steps.
1. Press the Create button once to create an index.
2. Record a sample.
The recorded sample will automatically be assigned
to the index you created in step 1.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
This is an efficient way to record multiple samples.
Assigning samples to the pads
In Sampling mode, you can use the pads to play
samples directly. The on‐screen pads are available on
the P4:EQ/Controls page. USB controllers, MIDI input,
and the local keyboard can all control the pads as well;
for more details, see "Playing the pads" on page 35.
By default, pads 1–8 correspond to the C2–G2 keys. For
example, the default Index setting for 001/008 sets
OrigKey and Top Key to C2. The assigned sample will
sound when you play the C2 key. The same sample
will also sound when you play pad 1.
Similarly, if you assign samples to Index 002–008, the
samples that sound when you play the C#2–G2 keys
will also sound when you play pads 2–8.
For each pad, you can change the note numbers used
to play samples.

By holding down the ENTER switch and playing a note, you can select the corresponding
index, and the specified key will be the base key and will be shown in blue.
For example, you might assign the infrequently‐played
highest eight notes of the keyboard to correspond to
the pads. To make the setting, select the note number
field, and play the desired key while holding down the
ENTER switch.
