Akai S01

The trigger
level
determines
the
start
point of
the
sample
(from where
the sample
is
reproduced),
so
that
it
should be set
"higher" than
the
noise level but
"low"
enough to
sample
the
whole
sound
from
the
source, as
seen
in the
diagram
below.
Remember,
especially
when
using
a
microphone,
it is easy to
pick up
background
noise
and
difficult
for you
to keep
the
constant input
level.
Please
remember
this
when
setting the
level.

Before
sampling,
make sure the
sample
in this bank is not
reguired.

In case
the
trigger level has
been
set
to
"0",
the
S01
will start
sampling as
soon
as
the
bank is
selected
(when the bank and

are simultaneously
pressed).
8. How
to
Start
and Stop
Sampling
The SOI
automatically
starts
sampling when the
input level is
over the
trigger
level
and
the REC
LED changes
to remain
lit.
To
stop
sampling, press
any key in the
operation panel,
the REC
LED
will go
out to
indicate that
sampling
is stopped, and
the SOI
will go to
Play mode.
Check the
sound just sampled
by
pressing the bank
key. If you
resample
the
sound,
try it
again.
Consecutive
sampling
can be done by
repeating
"7.
Selecting a
Bank"
and
later.
*
If the
available user
memory is
used up
during sampling, the
PROG.NO./DATA
display
will show
"FUL"
for
a
few seconds,
and the
sampling will
finish
at
that point.
Remember
that
the
initially
available
sampling time
is 15.6 seconds.
*
In
case
the trigger
level is
set
too
high and auto-triggered sampling
cannot be
performed,
you
can
press the REC
key
to
start
sampling at that
point, or press any
key
other
than
the
REC key to
cancel
the sampling.
