Roland SP-404A - Effect During Sampling; Recording Level Adjustment

16
Recording Samples— Basic Operation
Applying an eect while you sample
By pressing an eect button at this time, you can sample the sound processed by the eect.
MEMO
In this case, you can use the [CTRL 1] and [CTRL 2] knobs to adjust the eect settings. Because the [CTRL 3] knob is used
to adjust the digital input level, it cannot be used to adjust the eect settings.
6. Adjust the recording level
6-1. Produce sound on the device that’s connected to the SP-404A (if you’re using a mic, vocalize into the
mic).
6-2. Adjust the volume of the device (e.g., portable music player) connected to the SP-404A so that the
PEAK indicator lights occasionally.
Adjust the volume of your audio source (e.g.,
portable music player)
MEMO
If the volume of your device is not adjustable,
and the PEAK indicator stays lit, set the SP-404A’s
input gain to “-10 dB” (
&
PDF).
If you’re using a mic, turn the [MIC
LEVEL] knob to adjust the level.
The PEAK indicator should
light occasionally
6-3. If the display illumination lights red, the internal digital input level is excessive; turn the [CTRL 3] knob
toward the left until the display does not illuminate red.
If this lights red, the digital input level is
too high!
Turn the [CTRL 3] knob all the way to the right, and then turn it
toward the left until the red illumination no longer appears.
