Sampling
Sampling & File Import
To sample new material or import waves from disk, go to the
SAMPLING/FILE IMPORT
display by first pressing the
panel
[SAMPLING]
button, and then the
SAMPLING/FILE
IMPORT
LCD button which appears in the SAMPLING MENU.
Sampling New Material
.....................................................
After making sure that your source is properly connected and
the input level is set (see “Setting Up for Sampling”, above), set
the AUTO TRIGGER LEVEL if necessary (below), set up any
PRE EFFECTs you want to use (below), and press the
START
LCD button. “
WAITING
” will appear above the AUTO TRIG-
GER LEVEL parameter, and the
START
LCD button will
change to “
STOP
”.
Play your source and sampling will begin automatically as
soon as a signal which exceeds the AUTO TRIGGER LEVEL
is detected. Press the
STOP
LCD button to stop sample record-
ing (sampling will continue, using up sample memory as it goes,
until the
STOP
LCD button is pressed). Sampling will stop
automatically when the available wave memory is full, so be
sure to press
STOP
as soon as the sound you want to sample is
recorded, otherwise you’ll end up sampling unwanted silence
(which can be edited out later).
The amount of remaining sampling time will appear in the
upper right corner of the display (this will depend on the total
size of the samples currently in the wave memory, and the
amount of wave memory available).
• Prior to actually starting sample recording, the AUTO TRIGGER
LEVEL display can be used as a “level meter” to check that the source
level is higher than the set trigger level.
The PSR-8000 records at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz.
Although the wave memory of the PSR-8000 can be expanded to 33
megabytes (page 152), the maximum size of a single sample recording
is 32 megabytes.
