microSAMPLER

Sampler
This records (samples) sounds such as an instrumental or vocal perfor-
mance, and plays it back.
Effect processor
This applies various effects to the recorded samples. You can choose from 21
different effects.
Keyboard
Use the keyboard to play the samples.
Pattern sequencer
This lets you arrange your samples into musical patterns.
You can also play the samples automatically by playing back performance
data.
Sampling, recording into the pattern sequencer, and parameter editing
operations are performed in “RAM.” All of this data will be lost when you turn
off the power. If you want to keep the data, you must save it to a user bank
before turning off the power (
☞
p.41 “Saving (writing)”).
You can’t save to the ROM bank.
