Sampling (Open Sampling System)

9. Select Index.
If you want to create a new index, press the Create
button.
10.Sample the sound.
Press the SAMPLING REC switch, and then the
SAMPLING START/STOP switch to enter record-ready
mode.
Speak the word you want to sample.
Recording will start when the level exceeds the Level –30
dB setting.
Press the SAMPLING START/STOP switch to stop
sampling.
11.Play the keyboard.
Press the “OrigKey” key to hear the sound you sampled.
Sampling from the S/P DIF input
In general, sampling from the S/P DIF inputs is very similar
to sampling from the analog inputs. For instance, to record a
stereo sample from the S/P DIF inputs, set up the sampling
parameters as below:
Source Bus: S/P DIF L/R
Resample: Manual
Recording Level [dB]: as desired
Mode: Stereo
Important: Whenever using the digital inputs and outputs,
make sure that the Global System Clock parameter is set
correctly. For more information, see “System Clock” on
page 756 of the Parameter Guide.
Applying an insert effect to a sample and
resampling the result
You can process a sample through effects, and then sample
the result. This is called “resampling.” During resampling,
the KRONOS can even play a selected source sample
automatically.
To do this:
1. Go to the P0: Recording–Audio Input page.
2. In the Sampling Setup section, set the Key to the
desired source sample.
This selects the sample to be played and resampled.
When the power is first turned on, Key will be set to C2.
3. In the Input section, set Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) to Off
for all six inputs.
This ensures that no extraneous input sounds will be
recorded, and prevents feedback.
If the Bus setting is anything other than Off, the steps
below may cause loud feedback in the main L/R outputs
and headphones.
4. In the Sampling Setup section, set the Source Bus to
L/R.
This means that the sampling will capture all sounds sent
to the main L/R output.
5. Set Trigger to Sampling START SW.
After you’ve pressed the SAMPLING REC switch to
enter sampling-ready mode, resampling will begin when
you press the SAMPLING START/STOP switch.
6. Set Resample to Auto, and then set Key to C2.
When you press the Sampling START button, the
selected Key will be played automatically.
7. Using the on-screen slider, set the Recording Level to
0.0.
8. Go to the P0: Recording–Recording page.
9. Set “Save to” to RAM.
The data will be recorded into RAM for use in Sampling
Mode.
10.Set the Mode to Stereo.
