Sampling Quick Guide on page 40 This function lets you record your own sounds via a microphone or line source to be played from the keyboard. During use, sampled sounds are kept in the internal wave RAM memory. The PSR-9000 comes with a 1megabyte wave memory which can be expanded up to a maximum of 65 megabytes by installing optional SIMM memory modules - see page 160 for details. Sampled wave data can be saved to floppy or hard disk. Wave files in standard WAV or AIFF format produced using other equipment can also be used by the PSR-9000. Setting up Use the same operation as in "Vocal Harmony" on pages 32 and 68. The notes and cautions contained on page 68 in "Vocal Harmony" also apply to Sampling. Guidelines for Sampling s What is sampling ? Technically, sampling is making a digital recording of a sound. The sound could be your voice or an acoustic instrument (taken from a microphone), or a recorded sound (from a CD or cassette player). Once it is recorded, the resulting "sample" can be played at various pitches from a keyboard.

Store as a Custom Voice to Flash ROM (page 80) Play s Auto Trigger Level Actually, the PSR-9000 does not start sampling immediately when the [START] LCD button is pressed (in step #11 on page 41). Once the [START] LCD button is pressed, the PSR-9000 waits for a signal of a suitable level (set by the trigger level). When it hears such a signal, it starts sampling. The Trigger Level can be set in step #10 on page 40. The higher the trigger level, the louder the signal must be to start (trigger) sampling. • The PSR-9000 records at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. • Although the wave memory of the PSR-9000 can be expanded to 65 megabytes (page 160), the maximum size of a single sample recording is 32 megabytes. 72 Reference q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q Reference 70
