Three methods of Sample Recording
Start
You can start sample recording with one of three
methods.
This section covers the Sample Recording
Start methods corresponding to the available Trigger
modes.
For information on setting the Trigger mode,
see page 237.
When Trigger mode is set to “Manual”:
Regardless of the selected mode, sampling starts
soon after you press the[F6] (REC)
button in the
Sampling Setup display (page 236).
Sampling also
starts regardless of the playback/stop status of the
Song/Pattern.
When Trigger mode is set to “Level”:
After pressing the [F6] (REC) button in the
Sampling Setup display (in any mode), sampling
starts as soon as a strong enough audio signal is
received.
The threshold for this audio-triggered start
is called the Trigger Level (explained in the
illustration below).
As you can see, the higher the Trigger Level setting,
the louder the input audio needs to be in order to
start sampling.
On the other hand, if the Trigger
Level is set too low, a soft noise may be enough to
inadvertently start sampling. Sampling also starts
regardless of the playback/stop status of the Song/
Pattern.
When Trigger mode is set to “Meas”:
After pressing the [F6] (REC)
button in the
Sampling Setup display (page 236), start and stop of
sampling is linked to playback of the Song/Pattern.
This setting is available only when the Song/Pattern
mode and recording type (Rec Type) are set to
“Slice + Seq” or “Sample + Note.”
Sample playback types
Samples can be played back in the following three
different ways.
One Shot
When you press a note on the keyboard, the Sample
plays from beginning to end just once. This type of
playback is commonly used for drum and percussion
sounds.
