Sampling
This section explains how to use the [RECORD] key to manually specify the start and end point of the
sampling process. Manual sampling is convenient for example for quickly sampling a desired rhythm or bass
pattern while listening to a CD.
Except for special cases such as personal use, unauthorized sampling of material from copyrighted sources
(including but not limited to CDs, records, tapes, video clips, broadcast material) is prohibited.
• In the factory default condition, the ST-224 will read the preset sample sources from
backup memory into the main memory. Also in this condition, it is possible to sample a new
source and store the result in a free area of the main memory, but for maximum recording
length, you should first erase some or all preset samples from the main memory (
➔ p. 36 ).
• The sampled waveform is temporarily stored in the main memory, but it will be lost if the unit
is turned off without first transferring the waveform data to the internal backup memory or
external data cards. (The next time the unit is turned on, the contents of the backup
memory will be read into the main memory.) Be sure to store important sample data (
➔ p. 59 ).
NOTE
The ST-224 goes into the sampling standby mode, and the LED of
the [RECORD] key flashes. A number for the new sample is shown on
the display.
The currently selected grade appears on the display. You can change
the grade between three settings by holding down the [GRADE] key
and using the [-] and [+] keys.
