Editing a Sample
 
Two or more samples assigned to different keys are collectively 
called a “multisample.” One multisample can assign up to 128 
samples divided (“split”) across the notes of the keyboard. A 
memory card can store 128 multisamples.

In the Sample List screen, select the sample(s) that you 
want to include in your new multisample.
 
If you want to select two or more samples, select the sample and 
press [INC]. A check mark (
 
✔
 
) will be added to the selected 
sample. To remove the check mark, press [DEC].
 
To add a check mark to all samples of the selected group, press 
[SHIFT] so it lights and then press [INC]. To remove the check 
mark from all samples of the selected group, press [SHIFT] so it 
lights and then press [DEC].
 
You can press OUTPUT knob to audition the selected sample.
 
* If the total number of marks exceeds 128, the multisample will be 
created from the 128 lowest-numbered samples.
* You cannot create a multisample using samples from more than one 
group.

Creating a Patch from 
Multiple Samples
 (Create Multisample)
In order to hear a multisample, you’ll need to assign it to a Part 
as a Patch. Choose the desired samples to create the 
multisample, and then assign it as a patch to a part for use.

Number in the sample list
A multisample is 
divided into 128
If, for example, only one note (e.g., the sound of the C4 key) is 
sampled from a wide-ranging instrument such as a piano, and 
assigned to the entire range of keys, it will sound unnatural 
when played significantly below or above its original pitch. If 
the instrument is sampled at several different pitches and 
assigned to different ranges of the keyboard, this unnatural 
effect can be minimized.
fig.15-016.e
When you create a multisample, the split points are 
automatically determined according to the original key of each 
sample. Before you begin this process, you should set the 
original key of each sample to the range where you want it to be 
assigned.
A sample will not sound at a pitch higher than one octave above 
the original key.
