3 Sampling will begin when you press the [F5] (“START”)
key. If you use the “Count Down” function, pressing the
[F5] (“START”) key will cause sampling to begin after the
metronome sounds a count-down.
4 To stop sampling, press the [F5] (“STOP”) key once
again. Sampling will end automatically if you continue
sampling to the end of the “Time (Sample Time)” (1.1–
2a).
Auto: Sampling will begin automatically when the input
level exceeds the “Threshold” setting.
1 Perform steps 1 and 2 described above.
2 Adjust the “Threshold” setting. The black triangles at
both sides of the “Recording Level” level bar display will
indicate the “Threshold” level. Normally, this should be
set as low as possible without allowing noise to trigger
sampling.
3 Press the [F5] (“START”) key.
Sampling will automatically begin when the input level
exceeds the “Threshold” setting.
4 To stop sampling, perform step 5 described above.
Threshold [–63dB...0dB]
When performing auto sampling (“Mode (REC Mode)”
Auto), this sets the level at which sampling will begin
(
☞“Mode (REC Mode)” Auto, step 3).
This will not be displayed if “Mode (REC Mode)” is set
to Manual.
Count Down (Count Down REC) [Off, 4, 8, 3, 6]
When you begin sampling with “Mode (REC Mode)” set to
Manual, this parameter specifies whether there will be a
count-down before sampling begins.
Off: When you press the [F5] (“START/STOP”) key from
sampling standby mode, sampling will begin immediately.
4, 8, 3, 6: When you press the [F5] (“START/STOP”) key
from sampling standby mode, sampling will begin after a
count-down of the specified length, based on the tempo of “
(Tempo).” If you specify 4, the count will be 4-3-2-1-0, and
sampling will begin on the count of 0.
This will not be displayed if “Mode” is set to Auto.
(Tempo) [040...240]
This sets the tempo of the count-down when “Count Down”
is used.
The tempo specified here will also be used when the LFO or
delay time of the insert effect is controlled by the BPM/
MIDI SYNC function during sampling (
☞p.212). This can
also be set by the REALTIME CONTROLS C-mode
[TEMPO] knob.
Pre Trigger (Pre Trigger REC) [000...500ms]
When sampling the sound that occurs before sampling is
actually triggered, this setting specifies the time length that
will be “pre-sampled.”
When sampling in auto mode (“Mode (REC Mode)” Auto),
sampling will begin when the input signal exceeds the spec-
ified threshold level “Threshold” (1.1–2b). However
depending on the “Threshold” settings, the early portion of
the attack sound may be lost, and in such cases you can use
“Pre Trigger.”
Also, when sampling manually (“Mode (REC Mode)” Man-
ual) and using “Count Down,” you may intend to play your
instrument etc. at precisely the downbeat but actually be
slightly ahead of the beat. In such cases, you can use Pre
Trigger REC to sample without loosing the beginning of the
note.
If you increase this value, you will always be sampling
more than you need. Normally you should leave this
set at 000ms, and set it to a minimal value only when
necessary.
1.1–2c: Recording Level
Recording Level [–inf, –72.0... 0.0...+18.0dB]
Adjust the final level of the signal that will be sampled.
This can also be set in the Input/Pref page.
When you press the [F4] (“REC”) key you will enter sam-
pling standby mode, and you will be able to adjust the sig-
nal level.
Initially you should set this to 0.0, and make adjustments so
that the level of the bar is as high as possible without
exceeding 0 dB. If 0 dB is exceeded, “CLIP!” will be dis-
played. This indicates that the sampling signal level is exces-
sive. Adjust the level so that “CLIP!” does not appear.
In order to sample with the maximum dynamic range,
use the [INPUT] knob to adjust the level as high as pos-
sible without making “ADC OVER!” appear. Then set
“Lvl” (Input/Pref page) to 127, and adjust “Recording
Level” (Recording page, Input/Pref page) as high as
possible without making the “CLIP!” indication appear.
In the sampling standby condition after you press the
[F4] (“REC”) key, the sound that is output from the
AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO, R and from the head-
phones will be adjusted by the “Recording Level,” but
when you cancel sampling standby condition or cancel
sampling, the sound will be output at the 0 dB level. If
you have lowered the “Recording Level” below 0 dB,
please be careful of sudden changes in volume.
If the sound is still distorted even if you lower the
“Recording Level,” it is possible that distortion is
occurring in the input stage of the AUDIO INPUT, or
that distortion is being caused by the settings of the
internal effect.
Excessive signal levels in the input stage of the AUDIO
INPUT can be verified in the Recording page, Input/
Pref page. If an indication of “ADC OVER!” appears
above the “Recording Level” bar display, the distortion
is due to excessive levels in the input stage of the
AUDIO INPUT. Adjust the [INPUT] knob until the
"ADC OVER!" display no longer appears.
If there is still distortion even after [INPUT] has been
lowered, it is possible that the distortion is being caused
by the settings of the internal effect. Lower the Input 1,
2 “Lvl” (Input/Pref page), or adjust the effect settings.
If you have sampled at a low input level, you can exe-
cute Normalize in Utility “Norm./Level Adj.” (2.1–2e)
to amplify the level to the maximum possible without
clipping.
