Assigning the sample to a part
The recorded sample is added to the Oscillator selections as a user
sample.
Select a part, and then edit the Sample setting to select the sample
that you want to use.
TIP Stereo samples play in stereo if assigned to an odd-num-
bered part, and play as Mono Mix if assigned to an even-
numbered part.
TIP If you created a pattern with a user sample assigned to a
part, use EXPORT ALL SAMPLE to write all sample data
to a card before you turn off the power.
2. Resampling
Recording the playback of an electribe sampler part,
pattern, or performance
electribe sampler can record the sound of its own playback to
create a new sample; this is called “resampling.”
Select the resampling mode
1. Select the pattern that you want to resample.
2. Hold down the Shift button and press the Rec button. The Rec
button will remain lit, and the Play/Pause button will blink.
If you decide to cancel before you start sampling, press the
Exit button now.
3. Choose the sampling mode (the display indicates “Sampling
mode”).
Turn the Value knob to specify either stereo sampling “Stereo”
or monaural sampling “Mono.”
4. Press the > button to select the sampling source. Turn the
Value knob to specify “Resampling.”
5. Press the > button to see the available sampling time.
Resampling procedure
1. There are two ways to resample:
• Resample the pattern playback. Press the Play/Pause button to
start resampling.
The Rec button and the Play/Pause button will be lit.
• Resample the sound of a specific part. Resampling starts when
you strike any trigger pad or touch pad.
2. Press the Stop button to stop resampling. The Rec button and
the Play/Pause button will go dark.
TIP If you exceed the available recording time, sampling will
end automatically.
3. After resampling, the display shows “New Sample,” indicat-
ing that a new sample has been recorded.
Press the Play/Pause button to hear the sample that you just
resampled. You can save the newly resampled sample as a
user sample by pressing the Write button.
If you decide not to save the newly resampled sample, press
the Exit button.
TIP When you resample, the playback volume of the sample is
raised so that the output volume of the playback is not
perceptually diminished. However since this decreases the
headroom margin, distortion may occur in some cases. If
this occurs, you can set the play level to “Normal”(Sample
page 9/10); the playback volume will be lower than during
recording, but the headroom margin will be maintained.
Even if you press the Write button to save the user sample,
it will be erased when you turn off the power. If you want
to keep the user samples, use the DATA utility menu
command EXPORT ALL SAMPLE or EXPORT SAMPLE to
write the sample data to a memory card before you turn
off the power.
3. Editing a sample
Once a sample has been recorded, it can be edited using the
electribe sampler’s internal controls.
1. Press the Menu/Enter button in the common section to open
the edit screen.
2. Use the < or > buttons to select SAMPLE EDIT, and press the
Menu/Enter button once again.
3. Use the Value knob to select the sample that you want to edit
(using the sample number).
4. Use the < or > buttons to access the following sample editing
functions.
For details on each editing function, refer to the “Parameter
Guide.”
• RENAME: Edits the name of the sample.
• START POINT: Specifies the playback start point.
• END POINT: Specifies the playback end point.
• LOOP START POINT: Specifies the loop start point. The sample
playback is looped from the point you specify here until the
END POINT.
• SAMPLE TUNE: Adjusts the pitch of the sample.
• Time Slice: Divides the sample by beats.
• CLEAR SLICE: Cancels the result of the TIME SLICE (divide
sample) operation.
• PLAY LEVEL: Changes the playback level of the sample. For a
resampled sample, this is automatically set to “+12 dB” in order
to reproduce the volume at which it was recorded.
• DELETE SAMPLE: Deletes a sample.
TIP To increase the available sampling time, delete unwanted
preset samples to free up more sampling area, and execute
EXPORT ALL SAMPLE while in this state; then load this
data when restarting. It will no longer be possible to select
the deleted preset sample numbers with the Sample knob.
TIP You can preview-play the sample by striking a trigger pad
or by using the touch pad assigned to Touch Scale.
TIP When editing a sample, the Filter, Modulation, Amp/EG,
and Insert FX sections are unavailable.
TIP When editing a sample, Voice Assign is set to Mono 2.
5. When you have finished editing, press the Write button to
save your changes.
Even if you press the Write button to save your edited
content, the user samples are erased when you turn off the
power. If you want to keep the user samples, use the
DATA utility menu command EXPORT ALL SAMPLE or
EXPORT SAMPLE to write the sample data to a memory
card before you turn off the power.
4. Importing/exporting samples
WAV files saved on a memory card can be imported into the
electribe sampler as samples. Samples can also be saved by writing
them to a memory card. From the DATA utility menu, choose the
desired command and execute it.
• Import SAMPLE: Loads a sample from the memory card.
• Export SAMPLE: Writes a sample to the memory card.
• Export ALL SAMPLE: Writes all samples saved in the electribe
sampler to the memory card as “all sample data.” The “all
sample data” written to the memory card will automatically be
loaded the next time the electribe sampler starts, returning it to
the state prior to power-off.
“All sample data” on the memory card is automatically
loaded at start-up. Since all samples saved in the electribe
sampler will be overwritten, take care not to inadvertently
