Select Bank & Sample No.
Select Sample No. is available on the Sampling/Audio In
tab of the Play page, when the sampling Save to parameter
is set to RAM.
This specifies the sample number into which the sampled
data will be written. You can also specify whether the
sample will automatically be converted to a program after
sampling.
1. Select “Select Bank & Smpl No.” to open the dialog
box.
2. Use Bank to specify the writing-destination RAM
bank.
By default, you can use RAM1.
Note: If the optional EXB-M256 is installed, you’ll be able to
select RAM2.
3. In Sample No., specify the writing-destination sample
number.
By default, this will be the lowest-numbered vacant sample
number. If you select “----:----No Assign----” or a sample
number that already contains data, the data will
automatically be sampled into the lowest vacant sample
number. If you are sampling in stereo, Mode (Prog 0–7b),
specify Sample No.(L) and Sample No.(R).
4. Set Auto +12 dB On.
On (checked): +12 dB (Sampling 2–1d) will automatically be
turned on for samples you record. Samples for which
+12 dB
is on will play back approxi12 dB louder
than if this setting were off.
When you resample a performance in Program,
Combination, or Sequencer modes, you should normally set
Recording Level
to about 0.0 (dB), so that it will be as high
as possible without clipping.
When you resample, the sound will be recorded at the
optimum level for sampled data, but the playback level at
playback will not be as loud as it was during the resampling
process (if +12 dB (Sampling 2–1d) is off). In such cases, you
can check the Auto +12 dB On check box when you
resample, so that +12 dB will automatically be on, making
the sample play back at the same level as when it was
resampled.
In these modes, the power-on defaults are Recording Level
set to 0.00 (dB) and Auto +12 dB On turned on. If you
resample a performance in one of these modes with these
settings, the sample will play back at the same level at which
it was resampled.
The Auto +12 dB On setting is made independently for
Program, Combination, Sequencer, and Sampling modes.
5. Convert to specifies whether the sample will automati-
cally be converted into a program as soon as it has been
sampled. This is convenient when you want to hear the
sound immediately after sampling.
If you check the Program check box, the sample will
automatically be converted into a program.
At the right, set Program and MS to specify the program
number and multisample number for the converted
program.
Set OrigKey (Original Key) (Sampling 0–1b) to specify the
location of the original key. The multisample will create an
Index
(Sampling 0–1a) with this key as the Top Key
(Sampling 0–1b). The OrigKey (Original Key) will
increment by one after sampling, and the next higher note
will be assigned the next time you sample.
6. Press the OK button to apply the settings you made, or
press the Cancel button to return to the state prior to
accessing this dialog box.
Select Directory
Select Directory is available on the Sampling/Audio In tab
of the Play page, when the sampling Save to parameter is
set to MEDIA.
When sampling to media, this lets you set the media,
directory, and file name for the resulting WAVE file.
This dialog also lets you audition WAVE files directly from
the media; you can use this as a shortcut, instead of using
the similar function in Media mode.
Note: You can select a USB storage device (e.g., hard disk)
connected to the USB A connector.
Specifying the save destination for a WAVE file
1. Select “Select Directory” to open the dialog box.
2. Use the popup button located at the left of “Drive
select” to select the writing-destination drive for sam-
pling.
3. Use the Open button and Up button to move to the
desired directory.
4. In Name, specify a name for the WAVE file that will be
written during sampling.
If you check Take No., the file will be saved with a two-digit
Take No.
added to the end of the filename. This number will
automatically increment each time you sample. This is
convenient when you are sampling repeatedly, since each
sample will be saved with its own filename.
If Take No. is not checked, you can input up to eight
characters in Name. If Take No. is checked, you can input
up to six characters.
5. Press the Done button to complete the settings.
Playing back a WAVE file
1. Select “Select Directory” to open the dialog box.
2. Use Drive Select and the Open and Up buttons to select
the drive and directory, and select the WAVE file (48
kHz) that you want to play.
