Sampling (Open Sampling System)
Under REC Sample Setup. note that Sampling Mode
has been set to L–Mono. This means that the sound of
the internal L channel will be sampled in mono.
Next, let's change the Trigger setting. This controls
how sampling will start. Currently, it's set to start when
you press the Sampling START/STOP button. We'll
change it to make sampling start when the audio input
exceeds a specified volume.
10.Go back to the Sampling P0: Recording– Audio
Input page.
11.Make the following settings.
Trigger: Threshold
With this setting, sampling will start when the input
exceeds a specific volume.
Threshold Level: –30 dB
From the record‐ready state, recording will start
automatically when the audio input exceeds –30 dB.
Pre Trigger REC: 005ms
Recording will begin immediately (5 ms) before
sampling is started, so that the attack of the sound is
not lost.
Set the recording level
12.Speak or sing at the volume you intend to record.
If the "ADC OVERLOAD !" (AD converter input
overload) indication appears, turn the rear panel
LEVEL knob toward MIN to adjust the level
appropriately.
For the best sound, adjust the level as high as
possible without allowing the "ADC OVERLOAD !"
indication to appear.
13.Press the SAMPLING REC switch.
Speak into the mic, and notice that the level meter
indicates the volume of the sound that will be
recorded.
If the "CLIP!" indication appears, use the VALUE
controller to lower the Recording Level slider
(shown in the right of the display) from the +0.0
setting to an appropriate position.

14.When you've finished making adjustments, press
the SAMPLING REC switch.
Record
15.Press the SAMPLING REC switch.
The KRONOS will be in record‐ready mode.
16.Speak into the mic, saying the word(s) you want to
sample.
(Example: "It's")
Recording will start when the level exceeds the
Level –30 dB setting.
17.When you've finished saying the word(s), press
the SAMPLING START/STOP switch.
This completes the sampling operation. The new
sample will be automatically assigned to "Sample
(Sample Select)."
Hear the sampled result
18.The sample you just recorded will (by default) be
assigned to Index 001. When you press the
"OrigKey" key (C2) for Index 001, you will hear
the sound you just sampled.
Notice that the sample will loop (play repeatedly) if
you hold down the key. We're going to turn looping
off.
Turn looping off
19.Press the Loop Edit tab to go to the P2: Loop Edit
page.
Uncheck Loop. Now the sample will not loop even
if you hold down the C2 key.
