Set “Pre Trigger” to 5 ms.
With this setting, sample recording will begin 5 ms
earlier than (i.e., immediately before) sampling is
actually triggered, so that the very beginning of the
sound is not lost.
As an alternative to the Auto setting for “Mode
(REC Mode),” you can set this to Manual and
record manually. (
☞p.39)

ples.

Play a chromatic scale upward, starting at the C2
key. The samples you recorded will be played one
after another.

sequence will produce “It’s So Easy To Sample With
TR”)
