Trigger mode
[INTEGRATED SAMPLING]
The Trigger mode is a convenient feature in Sampling that lets
you determine how sample recording is started — manually
or automatically, based on the audio level.
Start recording manually
[INTEGRATED SAMPLING]
=manual
Regardless of the audio input signal level or the Song/Pattern
playback status, sampling starts soon after you press the [F6]
REC button in the Sampling Setup display. Sampling also
starts regardless of the playback/stop status of the Song/
Pattern.
Start recording when the input signal exceeds the
Trigger Level
[INTEGRATED SAMPLING]
=level
After pressing the [F6] REC button in the Sampling Setup
display (in any mode), sampling starts as soon as a strong
enough audio signal is received. The threshold for this audio-
triggered start is called the Trigger Level (explained in the
illustration below).

As you can see, the higher the Trigger Level setting, the
louder the input audio needs to be in order to start sampling.
On the other hand, if the Trigger Level is set too low, a soft
noise may be enough to inadvertently start sampling.
