Preparations for sampling Audio Settings

This option will keep the greatest amount of RAM free for
sampling. However, it requires a little time to work, and so
the sound will stop for a time after sampling ends. Also, if a
song is playing in Sequencer mode, the playback will stop.
Because of this, if you’re playing back a song or recording
multiple samples at once, it’s probably better to leave Auto
Optimize RAM turned off. Once you’re finished sampling,
or if you notice that the amount of available RAM is getting
low, use the Optimize RAM menu command to do the
optimization manually. You can find this command on the
menus of the Sampling pages in Program, Combination, and
Sequencer modes, as well as on pages P0-4 in Sampling
mode.
You can check on the remaining amount of memory in
Sampling mode on the P0: Recording page, under Free
Sample Memory/Locations. For more information, see “0–
1f: Free Sample Memory/Locations” on page 696 of the
Parameter Guide.
Using the metronome
The metronome can be helpful when you want to play a
Program or Combination at a specific tempo and sample
your performance.
You can make metronome settings in Metronome Setup, in
Program or Combination P0: Play– Audio Input/Sampling.
You might find it convenient to set Bus (OUTPUT) Select
to one of the Indiv. 1–4 outputs, connect the (INDIVIDUAL)
1–4 jacks to a mixer, and monitor the metronome via your
mixer.
Automatically setting-up for the desired
sampling method (Auto Sampling Setup)
In each mode, Auto Sampling Setup automatically makes the
appropriate settings for the sampling-related parameters. For
example in Program mode you can use this to make the
necessary settings for resampling your playing on a program,
or to make settings for sampling only an external audio
source while you monitor your playing on a program.
However, these automatic settings assume typical situations,
so you’ll need to adjust the parameters to meet your
situation.
