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.
