Sampling mode
304
0–1d: REC Sample Setup
Save to
[RAM, MEDIA]
Specifies the destination to which the data will be written
during sampling.
RAM:
The sound will be sampled into RAM memory.
A sample written into RAM memory can be heard
immediately in Sampling mode.
Note: You can check the remaining amount of RAM on the
main Recording page, under “0–4a: Free Sample Memory,”
as described on page 308.
Data written into RAM memory will be lost when the
power is turned off, so you must save it if you want to
keep it.
MEDIA:
Sample to an external hard disk etc. connected to
the USB A connector.
When you sample, a WAVE file is created on the media. Use
the Select Directory menu command to specify the writing-
destination media and directory.
To open the resulting sample, you can either use Media
mode to load the sample into RAM, or use the Select
Directory
menu command to select the file and then press
the SAMPLING START/STOP switch.
After connecting a USB device to the USB A connector,
execute the menu command Scan USB device (see
page 419) to mount the device.
You cannot load a media sample (WAVE file) that
exceeds the amount of available RAM.
Sample Time
[min sec]
Specifies the amount of time that you wish to sample. This
can be set in 0.001 second increments.
Immediately after the power is turned on, this parameter
indicates amount of remaining RAM memory in the selected
memory bank (the available sampling time). If you record a
sample in this condition (REC
→
START
→
STOP), the change
in time will be displayed automatically.
If the writing-destination (Save to) is MEDIA, the maximum
value is calculated from the amount of remaining space on
the media specified by Select Directory.
Tip: If you have sufficient RAM memory, it is a good idea to
set an ample Sample Time, and to use the Truncate (for
Sample Edit)
, Truncate (for Loop Edit) menu command
after you sample to delete unwanted portions of the sample
and reduce it to the minimum size necessary. You can also
press the SAMPLING START/STOP switch to manually
stop sampling after you have recorded the desired material.
For more details on sampling see “Sampling (Open
Sampling System)” on page 107 of the Operation Guide.
If the writing-destination (Save to) is RAM, and you
continue sampling with the Optimize RAM (see
page 107) option unchecked, wasted space will develop
in memory, decreasing the amount of available RAM
memory. In this case, execute “Optimize RAM” on
page 334 to recover the wasted space.
Note: “Free Sample Memory” (0–4a) lets you check the
remaining amount of RAM.
Bank (RAM Bank)
[RAM1, RAM2]
This specifies the destination RAM to which the data will be
written when sampling. You can specify this if Save to is set
to RAM.
By installing the EXB-M256 you can expand the memory to
a maximum of 320 Mbytes.
For more information, please see “Free RAM and
approximate sampling times” on page 297.
Sample Mode
[L–Mono, R–Mono, Stereo]
Specifies the channel(s) that you want to sample, and specify
whether a mono or stereo sample will be created. For more
information, please see “Source Bus” on page 305.
L-Mono:
The L channel of the Source Bus will be sampled
in mono.
R-Mono:
The R channel of the Source Bus will be sampled
in mono.
Stereo:
The L and R channels of the Source Bus will be
sampled in stereo, creating a stereo multisample.
Example 1)
Sampling a mono source connected to AUDIO INPUT 1
without applying internal effects
If using the Audio Input:
Source Bus:
Analog Input 1/2 (0–2b)
Resample:
Manual (0–2b)
Recording Level [dB]:
as desired (0–1c)
Sample Mode:
L-Mono (0–1d)
(See “Source Bus = Audio Input 1/2” on page 11)
If using the L/R Bus:
Analog Input1 Bus Select: L/R (0–2a)
Analog Input1 Pan: L000 (0–2a)
Analog Input1 Level: 127 (0–2a)
Source Bus:
L/R (0–2b)
Resample:
Manual (0–2b)
Recording Level [dB]:
as desired (0–1c)
Sample Mode:
L–Mono (0–1d)
(See “Source Bus = L/R” on page 11)
Example 2)
Applying the internal insert effect IFX1 070: Reverb Hall to
a mono source connected to AUDIO INPUT 1, and sampling
in stereo
Analog Input1 Bus Select: IFX1 (0–2a)
Analog Input1 Pan: C064 (0–2a)
Analog Input1 Level: 127 (0–2a)
Source Bus:
L/R (0–2b)
Resample:
Manual (0–2b)
IFX1: select 070: Reverb Hall (P8)
Recording Level [dB]:
as desired (0–1c)
Sample Mode:
Stereo (0–1d)
(See “Source Bus = L/R” on page 11)
Example 3)
Sampling a stereo source connected to AUDIO INPUT 1 and
2 without applying internal effects
If using the Audio Input:
Source Bus:
Audio Input1/2 (0–2b)
Resample:
Manual (0–2b)
Recording Level [dB]:
as desired (0–1c)
Sample Mode:
Stereo (0–1d)
(See “Source Bus = Audio Input 1/2” on page 11)
If using the L/R Bus:
Analog Input1 Bus Select: L/R (0–2a)

Analog Input1 Level: 127 (0–2a)
Analog Input2 Bus Select: L/R (0–2a)
