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.

6-1. Produce sound on the device that’s connected to the SP-404A (if you’re using a mic, vocalize into the
mic).

If you’re using a mic, turn the [MIC

toward the left until the display does not illuminate red.

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.
