5. Add Samples 5. Add Samples Although it would be easier just to load one of the pre-recorded samples provided on the SmartMedia memory card supplied with the RS7000 and add it to our pattern, we recommend that you take the time to actually try recording your own samples. TUTORIAL Tutorial The Source You will need to provide a source for sampling. This could be a CD player, tape player, or any other source capable of delivering a line-level signal. You could also use a microphone since the RS7000 inputs can easily be set for microphonelevel input. For Line-level Sources Press the [SETUP] button twice to access the A/D SETUP page and make sure that the INPUT GAIN parameter is set to LINE. Use [Knob 1] to select LINE if necessary.

Use [Knob 1] to select MIC if necessary. Mono Sources If you have a mono source - such as a single microphone - plug it into the INPUT L jack on the rear panel. Stereo Sources Plug the left and right outputs from a stereo source in the INPUT L and R jacks, respectively. What to Record Obviously, you can sample any sound or instrument you like for your own music. The RS7000 has a number of features that make creating even complex samples quite easy. The SLICE+SEQ sampling mode, for example, automatically "slices" breakbeats or musical phrases you record into beat-size segments which are then placed in the selected pattern track along with the note data required to play them back as recorded. You can then "remix" the sliced samples to create a range of original variations. For our tutorial, however, it would be wise to keep things simple. Record a single sound that can be used as a "hit" in our pattern. A convenient way to do this would be to connect a microphone and record a percussive vocal sound: "Hah!", "Yo!", "Boo" ... whatever works. You might be able to get some neat distorted sounds by cupping the mic right up against your mouth as you record. You can also use the RS7000's sophisticated effects to process the sound later. Use your imagination. RS7000 43
