C 1 2 DATA Previous Number Next Number Phrase Clip Record In Phrase Clip Record Mode, you can record sounds into the synthesizer through a microphone or from audio equipment as Phrase Clips. You can then create a Clip Kit consisting of different Phrase Clips spread out across the range of the keyboard, and play the sounds just as you would a normal instrument sound. Furthermore, you can resample Voice/Performance sounds played via the keyboard or the Playback Sequencer. You can store a maximum of 256 Clips (in total of 4 megabytes) in the instrument's internal memory. You can also store them onto an external Memory Card. Phrase Clips are stored to Memory Card in a proprietary file format. Details about saving files are given on Page 173. Using the included Card Filer software, Phrase Clips stored on Memory Card can also be saved to, and managed in, a computer connected to the synthesizer. Refer to Page 53 for a basic idea of Phrase Clip. The CS6x/CS6R is factory-fitted with 4MB of internal DRAM-type memory. Since DRAM is volatile memory, its contents are cleared when you switch your synthesizer off. Therefore, there are no Phrase Clips contained in memory when you switch your synthesizer on. If you raise the pitch of a short Phrase Clip loop, you may hear noise during playback. In which case, you should lengthen of the loop time (Page 150). You may also hear noise at the loop end point of the Phrase Clip. In which case, you should adjust the end point of the loop to find the optimum position (Page 151).
