Thiscompletesthesamplingoperation.Thenew
samplewillbeautomaticallyassignedto“Sample
(SampleSelect).”

11.Thesampleyoujustrecordedwill(bydefault)be
assignedtoIndex001.Whenyoupressthe
“OrigKey”key(C2)forIndex001,youwillhear
thesoundyoujustsampled.
Youcanalsostrikepad1tohearthissound.
Noticethatthesamplewillloop(playrepeatedly)if
youholddownthekeyorpad.We’regoingtoturn

Turn looping off
12.PresstheLoopEdittabtoaccesstheP2:LoopEdit
page.
Uncheck“Loop.”Nowthesamplewillnotloop
evenifyouholddowntheC2key.
13.Nowwe’llspecifythatloopingwillbeturnedoff
foreachnewlyrecordedsample.

RecordingtabtoaccesstheP0:Recording–
Recordingpage.
Uncheck“A u t o LoopOn.”
If“A u t o LoopOn”ischecked,the“Loop”setting
willautomaticallybeturnedonwhenyousample,
sothatthesamplewillloop.
