2) Press the
MEMORY BUTTON (16).
The
MEMORY BUTTON (16)
green LED will glow

11. Using the Built In Sampler:
Your CDI-500 Mp3™ comes with an advanced built in sampler. You may store up to three samples in the three
BANK BUTTONS (12).
Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT or a SAMPLE into a
BANK BUTTON (12),
not both. Your sample can be a maximum of 5.5 seconds in length. A sample can be
recalled while a CD is playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, you may even play a sample when the CD
has been removed. You may play your sample at anytime without music interruption. If you play your sample
when the unit is already in playback mode you sample will over lap the current music source. You can also
play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approximately 1500 (500 x 3)
samples in a drives memory (depending on available memory). The
MEMORY BUCKET
on the
LCD DISPLAY
(30)
will approximate the remaining memory.
To create a sample:
1) Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 18 and 19).
If your loop is longer than 5.5 sec-
onds it can not be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.
4) The yellow
MEMORY BUTTON (16)
LED will turn off, when your sample is
locked into memory.
5) At this point your sample has been stored into memory. The original loop you
used to create the sample will remain playing until the
OUT BUTTON (24)
is
pressed (Figure 25).
