Importing sounds from an audio CD

 

You can import audio from a conventional audio CD. As an example, here's 
how to create audio phrases (longer samples that might contain several notes 
or more) that you can assign to each pad.

 

●

 

Preparations

 

Perform the following procedures.

 

• Preparing your equipment and making 

connections (p. 4)

• Connecting the power (p. 5)

• Turning on the power (p. 6)

 

1

 

Insert your audio CD into the 
CD-R/RW drive.

 

Prepare to load data from the audio CD.

 

2

 

Press 

 and then 

 

(A.Phrase).

 

The audio phrase import screen will 
appear. In this example we will use the 
imported audio as an “audio phrase” (a 
longer sample that might contain several 
notes or more).

 

3

 

Press 

 (Drive Select) and 

then select “Audio CD.”

 

4

 

Use the cursor to select the CD 
track that you want to import, 
and press 

 (Execute).

 

The track highlighted by the cursor will be 
imported. The quick assign (audio phrase) 
screen will appear.

 

5

 

Specify the pad number.

 

Specify the number of the pad to which 
you want to assign the imported audio.

 

6

 

Press 

 (Set One).

 

The data will be imported. You can play 
the sound as described in Using the 
velocity pads (p. 13).

An “audio phrase” is a sample 
containing a performance 
(phrase) of an appreciable 
length. For example, you 
might assign a four-measure 
phrase containing a guitar riff 
to a pad, so that the four-
measure guitar performance 
would play each time you 
struck that pad.

There are several points that 
you must observe when 
inserting a disc into the CD-R/
RW drive. For details, refer to 
Owner’s Manual p.129, and 
insert the disc as directed.

To import a file from the CD-
R/RW drive, press 
[F1 (Select Drive)] and select 
the drive from which you want 
to import.

When you strike a pad, the 
Assign To field will be set to 
the number of the pad you 
struck.

The black areas of the pads 
displayed in the screen 
indicate pads to which a sound 
has already been assigned. 
When you strike a pad for 
these note numbers, you will 
hear the assigned sound.

In the following cases, pressing 
[F4 (Assign All)] will assign 
sounds consecutively, starting 
with the Assign To setting (in 
the example, C4, C#4, D4, ...).

• When importing two or 

more samples

• If the Assign To region is a 

single note
