Sampling

This shows how to sample (record) the audio that’s inputted into the P-6 to create your own samples.

The samples you create are assigned to a sample pad.

MEMO

Each sample is saved in a dedicated area internally on the P-6, and is used in common by all patterns.

 

  1. Press the [SAMPLING] button to enter sampling mode.
  2. The [SAMPLING] button lights up.

  3. MEMO

    The step buttons indicate the audio input level in sampling mode.

    Refer to “Adjusting the input level” for details.

  4. Press the sample pad (one that’s blinking) to which you wish to assign the sample.
  5. The selected sample pad lights up, and the [SAMPLING] button blinks.

  6. MEMO

    You can’t select a sample pad to which a sample is already assigned, meaning that pad can’t be used for sampling.

    To sample, either select a sample pad that doesn’t have a sample assigned to it (unassigned sample pads are blinking), or delete a sample from the desired sampled pad beforehand.

    Refer to “Deleting a sample” for how to delete a sample from a sample pad.

  7. Press the [SAMPLING] button.
  8. Sampling begins.

  9. MEMO

    The timing at which sampling begins depends on the trigger setting used for starting the sampling.

    Refer to “Sampling settings” for details.

  10. To exit sampling, press the [SAMPLING] button.
  11. The sample is saved to this unit and assigned to the sample pad.

MEMO

  1. The method of stopping the sampling depends on the conditions (length) used.
    You can also configure other detailed settings related to sampling. Refer to “Sampling settings” for details.
  2. The sample data is automatically optimized (normalized) when sampling ends.
    “nor÷” (Normalize) is shown when a sample is being optimized.
  3. It may take a little time to assign (save) a sample.
    Once “ľrit” (Write) appears, wait until “donE” blinks in the display.
