Creating multiple samples
Intheexampleproceduredescribedabove,several
indexeswerecreated(bypressingtheCreatebutton
severaltimes),andthensampleswereassignedtoeach
Index.
Asanalternativemethod,itisalsopossibletocreate
oneindex,sampleintoit,andthenrepeatthesetwo
steps.
1. PresstheCreatebuttononcetocr
eateanindex.
2. Recordasample.
Therecordedsamplewillautomaticallybeassigned
totheindexyoucreatedinstep1.
3. Repeatsteps1and2.
Thisisanefficientwaytorecordmultiplesamples.
Assigning samples to the pads
InSamplingmode,youcanusethepadstoplay
samplesdirectly.Theon‐screenpadsareavailableon
theP4:EQ/Controlspage.USBcontrollers,MIDIinput,
andthelocalkeyboardcanallcontrolthepadsaswell;
formoredetails,see“Playingthepads”onpage 35.
Bydefault,pads1–8correspondtotheC2–G2ke
ys.For
example,thedefaultIndexsettingfor001/008sets
OrigKeyandTopKeytoC2.Theassignedsamplewill
soundwhenyouplaytheC2key.Thesamesample
willalsosoundwhenyouplaypad1.
Similarly,ifyouassignsamplestoIndex002–008,the
samplesthatsou

uplaytheC#2–G2keys
willalsosoundwhenyouplaypads2–8.
Foreachpad,youcanchangethenotenumbersused
toplaysamples.
Forexample,youmightassigntheinfrequently‐played
highesteightnotesofthekeyboardtocorrespondto
