➞ [JOB]

The Sampling Job mode lets you process and modify Samples you have recorded. 18 Sampling Jobs are available. 

Select the Job group by pressing one of the [F1] 
Keybank, [F2] Waveform, and [F3] Other buttons. 

Move the cursor to the desired Job by using the data 
dial, [INC/DEC] and [DEC/NO] buttons or Cursor up/
down button, then press the [ENTER] button. The 
desired Job display appears. Press the [EXIT] button to 
go back to the Job menu display. 

Move the cursor to the desired parameter, then set the 
value by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] 
button. 
When “Apply” appears on the menu corresponding to 
the [SF4] button, go to step 5. When “Apply” does not 
appear, go to step 7. 

At this time, the Sample has been modified temporarily 
and not fixed as data. 

Press the [SF1] Audition button to hear the modified 
Sample. If you are satisfied with the result, go on to the 
step 7. If you are not satisfied with the results and want 
to try again, press the [SF4] Apply button again to abort 
the Job operation and return the Sample to the original 
status. In this case, attempt the operation again from 
step 4.
