Selecting a sample
Use the button
SampleSel
to load a sample from the corresponding bank into the
slot, when in edit mode. The selection is carried out using the
Value
control which
will trigger the new sample when being turned.
The banks of the sample-slots can be changed. If, for example,
Sample1
shall be
played instead of a clap, select slot 1 (
Rec
