Sampling
You can create waves by sampling sounds.
The SPD-SX provides six different methods of sampling.
Sampling method Explanation Page
BASIC SAMPLING
Sample to a single pad. p. 29
MULTI PAD
Successively sample to multiple pads. p. 32
MERGE
Combine two waves into one. p. 34
WITH FX
Apply an effect to a wave and resample it. p. 35
CHOP
Cut a wave into slices. p. 36
PERFORM & RECORD
Record the sound of your SPD-SX performance. p. 38
Sampling time
The SPD-SX allows you to sample approximately 180 minutes of stereo or approximately 360 minutes of monaural sound into
internal memory (including the preload waves).
MEMO
• You can check the sampling time that remains (p. 66).
• The amount of time over which sampling can take place at one time with MULTI PAD is equivalent to approximately one-
half of the available time that remains for all sampling.
