Knob 1
[ Press] Parameter View
Returns to the previous display.
Knob 2
[ Turn] Sample
Selects a sample.
[ Press] OPEN/CLOSE
Selects display or non-display of all samples in the selected sample bank.
Knob 3
[ Press] SORT...
The SORT function accessed by pressing Knob 3 allows the display order of the sample
names to be sorted according to the specified conditions.
[Range] off, Name, Status&Name
• off ... No sorting occurs.
• Name ... The sample bank and sample names are separately sorted and displayed in
alphabetical order, with the sample banks first and the samples second.
• Status&Name ... The sample banks and samples are sorted according to their receive
channel settings: all samples and sample banks for which the Receive Channel
parameter is not set to “off” are arranged in ascending order by receive channel
number, and then the samples and sample banks for which the Receive Channel
parameter is “off” are listed. Samples/sample banks with the same channel settings
will be sorted according to Name.
Knob 4
[ Turn] MIDI→Sample
The sample to be edited can be selected by playing that sample from an external MIDI
controller.
[Range] off, Upper, Lower
• off ... No MIDI sample selection occurs.
• Upper ... When a MIDI note-on message plays a sample contained in a sample bank,
that sample bank is selected.
• Lower ... When a MIDI note-on message plays a sample contained in a sample bank,
that sample is selected.
• For example, if you have selected a program in which SAMPLE A is assigned to notes C-2 — B3,
SAMPLE B is assigned to C4 — B4, and SAMPLE C is assigned to C5 — G8, and you press a key in
the C4 — B4 range while editing SAMPLE A, SAMPLE B will be selected for editing without the need
to switch displays. In the same way, SAMPLE C can be instantaneously selected for editing by playing
a note in the C5 — G8 range.
This function makes it easy to switch between multiple samples assigned to the same
program for fast, efficient editing.
• When a note plays multiple “layered” sample, the samples played by that note are selected one after
the other each time the note is played. If this is inconvenient, this sequential sample selection feature
can be disabled via the UTILITY-SYSTEM-Custom page (page 198).

[ Press] KNOB1TYPE
