Sampling
(To Storage)
After you sample a sound, SAMPLING To Storage saves your
samples to internal storage without assigning them to the pads or
keyboard.
NOTE
Before sampling, make sure that there is enough memory
remaining. You can still record samples all the way up the maximum
length even if there is not enough memory, but the samples may
not save, depending on how much memory is left.
1. Connect the device (audio device or mic) you
want to sample as necessary to the MIC/LINE
INPUT jack.
MEMO
To sample an audio device in stereo, connect the left channel to L/
MONO jack, and the right channel to R jack.
2. Press the [SAMPLING] button.
The SAMPLING MENU screen appears.
3. Touch SAMPLING <To Storage>.
