This function can be used to select samples to be used in a
program and set up sample banks. Press the [PLAY] button
and then the second function key [F2] to enter the SAMPLE
mode.
Two pages are provided: SmpSel (Sample Select) and Smp-
Bank (Sample Bank — page 95).
• See "Basic Operation" on page 78 for details on acessing the vari-
ous display pages.
Select Sample
[PLAY] Button → [F2] Button → Knob 1 to select
"PLAY-SmpSel"
Use this page to assign samples to the current program, to
select samples for editing, or to save the selected sample to
disk.
Knob 1
[ Turn] Page
Selects display pages.
[ Press] Tree View
Calls the Tree View display (page 83).
Knob 2
[ Turn] Sample
Selects a sample to be used in the program. Samples
selected here will be used in the current program unless
the "RchASSIGN" parameter is turned "off" via Knob 4.
• The characters which appear to the left of the sample
name have the following meanings:
• ... Sample Bank
• ... Stereo Sample
• The characters which appear to the right of the sam-
ple name have the following meanings:
• ... The sample has been edited but not saved
to disk.
[ Press] OPEN/CLOSE
Pressing this knob alternately selects display or non-dis-
play of all samples in the sample bank.
Knob 3
[ Turn] Sample Solo
This setting enables or disables the "sample solo" fea-
ture. Setting this feature ON lets you use MIDI input to
play the selected sample (or sample bank) by itself. You
use this feature when you are editing a sample (or sam-
ple bank) and need to hear how it sounds in isolation
from other samples.
[Range] off, on
• If Sample Solo is turned on for any sample bank,
only that sample bank will sound.
• As an example, assume that you are working with a
program that uses two samples, Sample A and Sam-
ple B, and that both of these samples are set to play
over the entire key range (C-2 to G8). If the "sample
solo" feature is OFF, playing a key at the keyboard
will produce sounds from both samples.
Assume, further, that you are now editing Sample A,
and that you want to produce the sound of this sam-
ple without intrusion from Sample B. If you set the
"sample solo" feature ON, your MIDI input will pro-
duce sound from Sample A only.
• Note that this feature is available only with samples
used by the program selected by Knob 2. If you
select a sample that is not used by this program, the
screen displays a "- -" to indicate that the feature is
not available.
• Note also that this feature is not available with indi-
vidual samples within a sample bank. If you select
such a sample, the screen displays a "- -". But it is
possible, however, to select the entire sample bank
for solo play.
• This parameter cannot be edited when Program
Mode is set to Multi.
[ 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, Rch&Name
• off ... No sorting occurs.
• Name ... The sample bank and sample names are
separately sorted and displayed in alphabeti-
cal order, with the sample banks first and the
samples second.
• Rch&Name ... The samples are sorted according
to their receive channel settings, as follows:
Program Mode = Single:
A01 — B16 (01 — 16 on the A4000)
→ Bch →
=smp → off
Program Mode = Multi:
=A01 — =B16 (01 — 16 on the A4000)
→ off
Samples with the same channel settings will be
sorted according to Name.
