Sampling (Open Sampling System)

In-Track Sampling

In-Track Sampling creates note data at the appropriate
timing when you sample an external audio source
while playing back a song in the Sequencer mode.
When you then play back the song, the sample will be
triggered by this note data. In other words, this
function plays back the sample at the same moment in
the song at which you recorded it.
In this example, we'll show the sound of a guitar
connected to the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack can be added to
your song.
1. Press the MODE SEQ switch to enter Sequencer
mode.
2. Select the song to which you want to add the
guitar sound.
You can either create a song, or use Media mode to
load a previously-created song.
3. Connect your guitar to the rear panel AUDIO
INPUT 1 jack. (See page 123)
4. Access the P0–1: Play/REC– Sampling/Audio In
page.

8. Make the following settings for "In-Track
Sampling."

If you're using analog input, make settings so that the

The track you want to use for In-Track Sampling. MIDI
note data to trigger the sample will be recorded in the
