18 The f actor y-set preset data has been cre- ated so that the optimal tone is produced when the TUBE GAIN knob is at the "0" position. Playing a Demo song The ESX-1 contains several demo songs. Here’s how you can listen to the demo songs to get an idea of the ESX-1’s sound and potential.
19 4. Sample mode In this mode you can recor d (sample) a sound to create a new sample, modify samples in various ways, or delete an unwanted sample. Sampling procedure on the ESX-1 Here’s the pr ocedure fr om sampling a new sound to assigning the new sample to a part.
20 Auditioning samples 1. Pr ess the SAMPLE key to enter Sample mode (the key will light). 2. Pr ess the [ ] cursor key to make the display read “(sample name).
21 4. Sample mode Recording a new sample Here’s how to sample the output of an audio device (e.g., MD or CD player). Sampling Preparations for sampling 1. Connect the ESX-1’s AUDIO IN jack to the output of the audio de- vice you want to sample. This jack is a stereo phone jack, but can also be used with a monaural phone plug.
22 Using the external input sound to trigger sampling AUTO SAMPLING ................................................... Of f, 1...15 From sampling-r eady mode, this function automatically begins sam- pling when the input sound exceeds the “threshold level” you specify .
23 4. Sample mode Editing a sample Y ou can use the knobs and keys of the Part Edit section and Effect section to modify the sound in Sample mode as well ( ☞ p.35 “Pattern mode). The state of the knobs and ke ys in Sample mode are not sa ved when you e xecute the Write operation.
24 Adjusting the pitch of the sample SAMPLE TUNE ....................................... -64. 00...+64.00(Cent) This lets you adjust the pitch (tuning) of the sample. When assigned to a drum part, a stretch part, or the slice part, the sample will sound at the pitch you specify here.
25 4. Sample mode Directly sampling the sound of the ESX-1 (Resampling) Y ou can sample the sound of the ESX-1 as it is playing. This is called “resampling.” Resampling lets you create a new sample that mixes several samples, or apply effects to an existing sample and r ecord the r esult as a new sample.
26 During resampling, you can pr ess the PLA Y/P AUSE key to pause the pattern or song playback while continuing to sample. Resampling just one note of a par t 1.
27 4. Sample mode Slice What is “Slice”? This is a function used mainly on samples that contain definite at- tacks, such as rhythm loops. It divides the sample into separate notes (attacks).
28 If you specified the number of steps as 16 or higher in “4” (above), you can use the [ ][ ] keys to change the r egion of slice steps that is displayed.
29 4. Sample mode As a differ ent example, suppose there wer e two steps of quiet notes following the “>_>_>>>>”, as in the example shown below: “>_>_>>>>__”.
30 to the slice part in Pattern mode, or by changing the pitch. Don't feel limited by the phrase of the original pattern you sampled; you can use motion sequences or effects to cr eate truly original patterns.
31 4. Sample mode Stretch What is “Stretch”? This is a function that automatically matches the playback speed to the tempo without changing the pitch, letting you play a sample at a tempo differ ent from the sample’s original tempo.
32 Convenient sample-editing functions If you want to save the edits that you made to sample, you must W rite it before you switch to another sample or turn off the power . ( ☞ p.32 “Saving a sample”) Normalize This operation boosts the level of the sample as much as possible without caus- ing distortion.
33 4. Sample mode Saving a sample If you want to keep a newly recor ded or edited sample, you must perform this W rite operation. If you edited a sample but decide that you want to return to its original state, simply switch samples without writing. 1.
34 Deleting a sample This operation completely deletes a saved sample from the ESX-1’s internal memory . 1. Use the dial to select the sample that you want to delete. 2. Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 14 (DELETE SAMPLE). (Key 14 will blink.
35 5. Patter n mode Part( ☞ p.38) Playing patterns What is a Pattern? A “pattern” is a short segment of a performance that consists of r hythm patterns cr eated by drum parts (drum sounds) and phrase patterns (melodic lines) created by keyboar d parts.
36 Selecting a pattern 1. Pr ess the P A TTERN key (the key will light). 2. Press the [ ] cursor key until the display indicates “( patter n name ).” 3. T urn the dial to select a pattern. Y ou can use the dial to select from a total of 256 patterns: A.
