Resampling a Pattern (RESAMPLE)
You can resample the performance you recorded to a pattern, and turn it into a sample.
1. Press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.
2. Press the [RESAMPLE] button.
The metronome sounds when the “Metronome:REC” parameter is “ON” (the SYSTEM parameter “ CLICK (P.109)”).
Press pad [9] while holding down the [SHIFT] button to turn the metronome sound on/off.
3. Press the [RECORD SETTING] button.
The input setting screen appears.
4. Use the [CTRL 2] knob to set ROUTING to “Mix”.
When ROUTING is set to “ExtIn”, only the audio input from an external device is sampled (the sample’s audio is not included in
the resample). You can sample your performance while playing back samples as backing sounds.
5. Press the [EXIT] button.
6. Press the pads [1]–[16] that are blinking red.
Empty pads to which samples haven’t been assigned blink red.
When you press an empty pad, the message “Press Pad to START” is shown. Pads that contain a recorded pattern blink in
blue.
7. Press pads [1]–[16] to select a pattern.
Sampling begins when the pattern starts playing back.
If you decide to cancel sampling, press the [EXIT] button.
8. To exit sampling, press the [REC] button again.
