NOTE • Depending on the Sampling Frequency settings, the available Sam- pling time differs as follows: 44.1kHz: 6 min. 20 sec. 22.05kHz: 12 min. 40 sec. 11.025kHz: 25 min. 20 sec. 5.5125kHz: 55 min. 40 sec. * Applied to both Mono and Stereo 3 Press the [SAMPLING] button to enter the Sampling mode. The User Voice Select display appears. From this display, you can select the User Voice number (USR-A: 001 - USR-H: 127) as Sampling destination.

Settings AUX IN resample AUX IN, resample Analog audio from the AUX IN/SAMPLING IN jacks is recognized as the recording source. Audio signal from the output of the DTX900 is received internally and recognized as the recording source. B Mono/Stereo Determines whether new samples will be recorded as stereo or mono samples. Settings monoL monoR monoL+R stereo monoL, monoR, monoL+R, stereo The L-channel signal will be recorded as a mono sample. The R-channel signal will be recorded as a mono sample. The L-channel and R-channel signals will be mixed and recorded as a mono sample. A stereo sample will be recorded. C Frequency Determines the sampling frequency. The rate at which digital readings are taken is referred to as the sampling frequency. Higher sampling frequencies result in higher quality sound. Normally, this parameter should be set to "44.1kHz," the highest setting. If you wish to obtain a lo-fi sound, select a value other than 44.1 kHz. At settings other than 44.1 kHz, the sound monitored during recording may be different from the recorded sound, depending on the source signal. Settings 44.1k (44.1 kHz), 22.0kLo (22.05 kHz Lo-Fi), 11.0kLo (11.025 kHz Lo-Fi), 5.5kLo (5.5125 kHz Lo-Fi)
