Sampling
The Fantom-Xa lets you sample audio sources, such as an audio
device, mic, or CD.
This section explains the sampling procedure and what the
parameters do.
1. Press [SAMPLING] to access the SAMPLING MENU screen.
fig.SmplMenu
The upper part of the screen will show the amount of free
memory. If the free memory reaches 0%, no further sampling is
possible.
2. Press [F1 (SAMPLING)]–[F5 (SOLO)] to select the sampling
mode. The sampling-standby screen will appear.
To cancel, press [F5 (CANCEL)].
* You cannot sample the sound that is output from the OUTPUT B
jacks. You’ll need to set things up so that the sound you want to
sample is output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks.
3. Make the settings for things such as the input source of the
sound to be sampled, and triggering.
fig.SmplStandby
4. Use the LEVEL knob on the rear panel to adjust the input
level of the external source.
* Using a connection cable that contains a resistor can cause the sound
level to be low. Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
Sampling Procedure
Sampling mode Explanation
[F1 (SAMPLING)]
Sampling Sample a sound from an external input
source.
* Operating the keyboards, pads, D Beam
controller, or sequencer will not play the
internal sound generator.
[F2 (RE-SAMPL)]
Re-Sampling Resample the sound of the internal
sound generator. The sound of the ex-
ternal input will not be heard.
[F3 (MIX)]
Mix Sampling Sample the combined sounds of the in-
ternal sound generator and an external
input source.
[F4 (AUTO DIVIDE)]
Auto divide Sampling Sample an extended source, and auto-
matically divide it into several samples
at silent regions.
If the sample contains silence, it will
be divided at that point, and the sub-
sequent portion will be assigned to
the next sample number.
* Operating the keyboards, pads, D Beam
controller, or sequencer will not play the
internal sound generator.
[F5 (SOLO)]
Solo Sampling While playing the internal sound gener-
ator as usual, sample only the sound
from the external input.
* Effects cannot be applied to the external
input sound.
Parameter Explanation
Input Select Input source of the sound that is to be sam-
pled
LINE IN L/R: L/R (stereo)
LINE IN L: L (mono)
MICROPHONE: L (mono, mic level)
* This cannot be set when resampling.
Stereo Switch MONO: The sound will be sampled as one
wave. If the sound is stereo, the left and
right signals will be mixed.
STEREO: The sound will be sampled as
two waves, L and R.
* Mono sampling uses half as much memory
space.
Pre Sample Time The length of sound preceding the moment
at which sampling was manually or auto-
matically initiated that will be captured in
the sample.
This lets you prevent the attack portion
of the sound from being omitted from the
sample.
0–1000 ms
Stop Trigger Specifies how sampling will end.
MANUAL: Continue sampling until you
press [STOP].
BEAT: Stop sampling after the specified
number of beats at the current tempo
(BPM).
TIME: Sample the specified length of
time.
Sampling Length When Stop Trigger is “BEAT”
Number of beats to continue sampling
1–20000
When Stop Trigger is “TIME”
Length of time to continue sampling
00’00”010–90’00”000
Auto Trigger Level The volume at which sampling will begin if
you have pressed [F2 (AUTO TRIG)] to
turn Auto Trig ON.
0–7 (A setting of 0 is the minimum.)
Gap Time The length of the silences at which the sam-
ple will be divided if the Sampling Mode is
set to Auto Divide.
500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ms
[F1 (INPUT)] Makes settings for the external input (p.
101).
[F2 (AUTO TRIG)] If a check mark ( ✔ ) is added, sampling will
begin automatically when the input sound
is detected.
[F3 (TRIM SW)] If a check mark ( ✔ ) is added, the Start point
and End point settings (p. 106) will be auto-
matically adjusted after sampling is per-
formed, so any silent portions at the
beginning or end of the sampled sound are
excluded.
