AW1600

Owner’s Manual

Sample libraries contain sets of up to sixteen different samples that can be used by the Quick

Loop Sampler.

When the AW1600 is shipped from the factory, sets of samples such as drum loops and sounds

effects are stored on the hard disk as sample libraries. When you load one of these libraries,

samples will be assigned to each pad/sample bank, and you can use the pads to play the sam-

ples immediately. Here’s how to load a sample library and try it out.

In the Quick Loop Sampler section, either

repeatedly press the [SAMPLE EDIT] key or

hold down the [SAMPLE EDIT] key and use

the CURSOR [

]/[

] keys to access the

LIBRARY page of the SAMPLE screen.

List

This area displays a list of the sample libraries saved

on the hard disk.

SORT ﬁeld

These buttons sort the sample libraries shown in the

list, either alphabetically (NAME), by when they were

saved (OLD), or by their size (SIZE).

LISTEN button

When you move the cursor to this button and press the

[ENTER] key, the button will be highlighted. If you

now press a pad 1–4, the sample assigned to sample

bank A of the currently selected sample library will

play repeatedly. Playback will stop when you press the

pad once again.

RECALL button

This button recalls the library that is selected in the

list, and assigns the samples to each pad/sample bank.

DELETE button

This button deletes the library selected in the list from

the hard disk.

STORE button

This button stores a library that you edited.

PROTECT button

Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER]

key to switch the Protect setting on/off for the library

selected in the list. A lock icon will be displayed to

indicate a library that is protected, and it will not be

possible to edit or delete this library.

NEW button

This button creates a new library on the hard disk.

Move the cursor into the list, and turn the

[DATA/JOG] dial to select the library that

you want to load.

By turning on the LISTEN button and pressing a pad

1–4, you can audition the samples that are assigned to

sample bank A for each pad in that library. For details

on the library contents, refer to “Appendix.”

Move the cursor to the RECALL button and

press the [ENTER] key. A popup window

will open. Move the cursor to the ALL but-

ton, and press the [ENTER] key.

When the library has been loaded, the popup window

will automatically close.

Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB posi-

tion.

Strike pads 1–4.

You can play the samples that are assigned to sample

bank A of each pad.

Using sample libraries

•

All sample libraries initially supplied with the unit use 16-bit

samples and cannot be read into 24-bit songs.

NOTE

•

When the popup window is open, you can move the cursor to

the 1SAMPLE button and press the [ENTER] key to select

and load just a single sample from the library.

HINT

•

Of the sample libraries saved on the hard disk when the

AW1600 is shipped, most drum pattern libraries that are set

to Loop mode have the Slice function turned on. If you load

this type of library, you only need to press the pad, and the

tempo of the drum pattern will match the tempo of the song.

This lets you use the Quick Loop Sampler similarly to a drum

machine.
