Importing a Sound and Playing it on the Keyboard (SAMPLE IMPORT)
Here’s how to import an audio le (44.1 kHz, 16 bit, WAV format only) into the XPS-10. The imported audio data is called a “sample.”
You can assign a sample to the keyboard and play it. In Performance mode, you can assign up to 16 audio les (16 parts).

Importing Audio Files from a USB Flash
Drive
Here’s how audio les (WAV format only) can be imported from a USB ash
drive into the XPS-10’s internal memory.
* For an audio le to be imported, it must be a WAV format, 44.1 kHz, 16
bit le. If any other le is selected, the display indicates “Incorrect File!”
and the le cannot be imported.
1. Put the audio les on your USB ash drive in the folder
shown below.
Use a USB ash drive that you formatted using the XPS-10 (p. 34).

. The sound is automatically assigned to the keyboard with the
appropriate pitches, starting from two octaves above the Original Key
and extending downward to the lowest note of the keyboard.
. If Loop Switch is ON, the sample continues playing repeatedly as long
as you hold down the note. Use this setting if you import the sound of a
sustaining instrument such as an organ.
. If you like, you can change the loop point and original key of the
sample later. For details, refer to “Editing a Sample” (p. 23).
