The waveform data held in the synthesizer are knows as Phrase Clips. These Phrase Clips are created and played back in Phrase Clip Mode (Page 142). A basic overview of Phrase Clips is given here. Phrase Clips Overview As shown in the following illustration, on the rear panel (or the front panel of the CS6R), there is an A/D INPUT jack for inputting analog sources to the A/D converter. The A/D converter then converts the signals from these analog sources into digital binary signals through a process known as "sampling." Within the synthesizer, these sampled signals are called Phrase Clips, and up to 256 of these Phrase Clips can be held within the 4MB of internal memory. You can assign Phrase Clips to any keys on the keyboard to play them back. A collection of Phrase Clip keyboard assignments is known as a Clip Kit, of which you can create up to four. You can then assign Clip Kits to Performances, just like with Voices. When playing back Phrase Clips, the processing of signals is the opposite of A/D conversion. The digital signals are passed through a D/A converter to convert them back to analog form. PART/ELEMENT In Voice/Performance/Phrase Clip Mode, the Foot Switch can now be used to switch between programs. Alternatively, you can assign other functions such as Arpeggio Switch (On/Off), Sequencer (Play/Stop) and so on (Page 165).
