12. Using the Built In Sampler:

Your Pro Scratch 1 comes with a built in sampler. You may store up to three samples on the three 

FLASH 

BUTTON (6)

. Your sample can be a maximum of 6.5 seconds in length. A sample can be recalled while a CD is 

playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, or even without the CD in the player. You may play your sample 

at anytime without music interruption. If you play your sample when the unit is already in playback mode you 

sample will over lap the current music source. You can also play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As 

with cue points you may store a maximum of 

128*3

 sample per in a drives memory. The 

MEMORY BUCKET 

 

(53)

 o

n the 

LCD DISPLAY (1)

 will approximate the remaining memory.

To create a sample:

1) Initialize a loop (see looping page 13). 

If your loop is longer than 

6.5

 seconds it can not be stored as a 

    sample and will stored as a Cue Point.  

4)  The red 

MEMORY BUTTON (7)

 LED will turn off, when your sample is locked 

 

into memory.

5)  At this point your sample has been stored into memory. The original loop you

  

used to create the sample will remain playing until the OUT BUTTON (18) is 

 

pressed (Figure 26).

    sample be sure the sample function is on, by pressing 

    the

    button  LED  turns  on.  To  play  your  sample  in  a

    your  sample  just  once,  turn  the  sample  function  off 

    immediately  after  initiating  your  sample.  With  the 

    sample  function  on  the  sample  will  continue  to  play 

    until the sample function is turned off.
