XSelect a New Key ...Press the key to which the original voice of the sample is to be mapped. The note number of the selected key will appear on the LCD display panel. The key can also be selected by using the [+] and [-] buttons, the number buttons, or the data dial to select the appropriate note number on the display (the note numbers, 36 through 96, are listed above the keys). You can play the pad while mapping to confirm the sound. CExit ... MAPPING Press the [MAPPING] button or any other function button - the [VOICE SELECT] button, for example - to exit from the mapping function. NOTES • Normally the key to which a sample is mapped will become approximately the center of its range. The actual range will depend on how many of the four samples are recorded and to which keys they are mapped. • The default mapping assignments are restored for pads which are cleared as described in "Clearing Samples": PAD 1 to C2, PAD 2 to C3, PAD 3 to C4, and PAD 4 to C5. • If you press several keys simultaneously while mapping the last key pressed take priority. • Mapping assignments are retained even if new samples are recorded. • Mapping is not possible for: pads that contain no data ("No Wave Data" error); a key that is already mapped ("Same Note" error). s Sample Memory Backup & Disk Storage The PSR-2700 is backed up by the backup batteries and will remain intact as long as a good set of batteries is installed. Even if no batteries are installed the memory will be maintained as long as the power plug is connected to an AC outlet. It is always a good idea, however, to save samples you want to keep to floppy disk. You can save either single voices or the entire contents of the sample memory to disk as required. Full instructions on floppy disk use are given in the "Floppy Disk" section beginning on page 56. 71
