Section 8 — Sampling/Signal Source Parameters
Sampling Parameters 3

SAMPLE TIME
Inst•Track
Press Sample / Instrument•Track / Scroll using the Left/Right Arrow buttons
Range: Various
This tells you how much sampling time is available, taking into account the current system
sample rate and the amount of free Internal Memory. This is a read-only parameter and can not
be adjusted (though changing the system sample rate on the FX Select•FX Bypass page will cause
this number to change).
• Pressing the Right Arrow button once more returns you to the Level-Detect mode.
Additional Multi-Sampling Parameters
When you begin multi-sampling (making several samples within one instrument), there are three
additional parameters that appear on the multi-sampling screen. These parameters allow you to
record a new (additional) sample, sample over (replace) an already existing sample, or select a
new/different layer within an already existing instrument.
Once you’ve recorded your first sample and you want to make a second sample within the same
Instrument:
• Press the Sample•Source Select button.
• Press the Instrument•Sequence Track button of the instrument you just sampled.
When you select an existing instrument from the REC SRC screen, the following multi-sampling
screen (also called the Sampling Context screen) appears:
Layer Number WaveSample NumberInstrument Name
The multi-sampling parameters are:
• Instrument Name — The first eight letters of the instrument name (which is always
UNNAMED for newly sampled instruments) are shown. This is a read-only parameter and
cannot be adjusted.
• Layer Number — This parameter shows the number of the current layer. Use the Left/Right
Arrow buttons to select this parameter, and the Up/Down Arrows to choose an already
existing layer, or a new layer (LYR=N). Remember, each instrument can have up to eight
different layers.
If you’ve recorded a stereo sample, the layer parameter will show either an L or an R
following the layer number, indicating that they contain the Left or Right channels of a stereo
sample.
• WaveSample Number — This parameter determines which WaveSample will be sampled after
you press Enter•Yes. The default here is NEW, meaning that a new WaveSample will be
created. You can however, select an existing WaveSample to sample over by using the
Up/Down Arrow buttons, the Data Entry Slider, or by pressing a key on the keyboard.
