Recording Samples
Record Sample Mode lets you record a sample to a connected SD card using the built-in Microphone or Rec In jacks. Samples are saved as WAV files.
Important: You must have an SD card inserted into the SD Card Slot to enter Record Sample Mode.
To enter or exit Record Sample Mode, press the Record Sample button.
This is an overview of MPX16's display on its Record Sample screen. Use the Select +/– buttons to move the cursor between the different fields, and use the Value Dial to change the currently selected field's setting or value.
•Monitor (Mon): Determines whether the recorded audio will be sent to the Main Out/Headphone Out (On), or neither (Off).
Record Sample
Mon:Off
Source: MONO L Thresh: -10 dB Press Enter> ARM
|
•Source: Determines from where the sample is recorded. When set to Mono L, the signal will be recorded in mono from the left Main Out jack only. When set to Mono R, the signal will be recorded in mono from the right Main Out jack only. When set to Stereo, the signal will be recorded in stereo from both Main Out jacks.
•Threshold (Thresh): Determines how loud the signal must be before MPX16 begins recording. The available range is -60 dB to 0 dB. Alternatively, you can disable the threshold (Off), which lets you begin recording immediately after pressing the Value Dial.
To record a sample:
1.Press the Value Dial.
If a Threshold is set, MPX16 will begin recording when the incoming audio signal exceeds the Threshold. Alternatively, you can simply press the Value Dial once more to start recording immediately.
If the Threshold is Off, press the Value Dial to star recording immediately.
2.Stop recording by pressing the Value Dial once more.
To keep the recorded sample, press the Value Dial again. Use the Select +/– buttons to move the cursor and use the Value Dial to change the character.
To discard the recorded sample and try again, press Record Sample.
3.After naming the sample, you will be asked to assign the sample to a pad.
To assign the sample to a pad, press the desired pad, and then press the Value Dial. This will replace the sample on that pad with the one you just saved.

oCopy to New: This process copies the sample audio to a new sample file. The new sample will have a subsequent number in its name to distinguish it from the original.
oRename: This process lets you edit the sample's name. If you enter a name of a sample that is already stored on your SD card, you will be asked if you want to overwrite that sample or return to the previous screen.
oDelete: This process lets you delete the sample from the SD card. You will be asked to confirm the deletion or to cancel and return to the previous screen.
oFade In: This process gradually fades in the sample's audio using a logarithmic curve, starting from –∞ dB at the start point and up to full volume at the end point.
oFade Out: This process gradually fades out the sample's audio using a logarithmic curve, starting from full volume at the start point and down to –∞ dB at the end point.
oExtract to New: This process uses the sample audio between the start point and end point to create a new sample file. The new sample will have a subsequent number in its name to distinguish it from the original.
oDiscard: This process crops the sample, deleting any audio between its start point and end point.
oStereo>Mono: This process converts a stereo sample into a mono sample. When Left is the source, only the left channel will be used. When Right is the source, only the right channel will be used. When Sum is the source, the left and right channels will be summed.
oNormalize: This process measures amplitude across the sample and adjusts its overall volume so the sample's peak is at 0 dB.
oReverse: This process causes the sample to play backwards.
•Sample Start Point (St): You can adjust this setting for edit processes that can be applied to a specific segment of the sample.
•Sample Start Point (End): You can adjust this setting for edit processes that can be applied to a specific segment of the sample.
•Execute: For edit processes that require confirmation, press the Value Dial to confirm you want to apply the process (Yes) or cancel it (No).

About Formats
You can use MPX16 to trigger your own samples instead of the ones in MPX16's internal sample library, but make sure your files and SD card are formatted correctly for MPX16 to use.
Load the sample files onto an SD card (sold separately) by doing one of the following:
•inserting an SD card into MPX16's SD Card Slot, and then use MPX16 an SD card reader (see Using MPX16 as an SD Card Reader to learn how to do this). After that, use the MPX File Conversion Utility (downloadable for free at akaipro.com/mpx16).
•using a third-party SD card reader.
Please note the following (especially if you do not use the MPX File Conversion Utility):
•The samples files must be 16-bit, mono or stereo WAVs. They can have a sample rate of 48, 44.1, 32, 22.05, or 11.205 KHz.
•The sample files must be located in the root (main) directory of the card and not in any subdirectories.
•You can use an SD card or SDHC card with a capacity up to 32 GB.
•We recommend formatting your SD card to a FAT32 file system (if it is not already) and naming your sample files according to this format. This means:
•Do not use any of these characters: " * / \ : < > ? |
•Do not use spaces.
•Limit your file name to 8 characters, if possible.
•Up to 512 files can be stored in the root directory of the card.
•You can assign up to 48 MB worth of samples onto MPX16's pads at a time (the sample library on your SD card can be larger, of course). Also, please note that a sample's size will be rounded up when loaded (e.g., a 2.1 MB sample on the SD card will be treated as a 3 MB sample when it is assigned to a pad).

4.Ranura para tarjeta SD: Inserte una tarjeta SD estándar con muestras en esta ranura. Utilice el software MPX File Conversion Utility (que se descarga gratis desde akaipro.com/mpx16) para cargar muestras en la tarjeta SD. Si prefiere cargar muestras a la tarjeta SD sin utilizar el MPX File Conversion Utility, consulte Funcionamiento > Edición de muestras para asegurarse de que esté formateada correctamente.
5.Entrada de grabación: Utilice cables TRS estándar de 1/4 pulg. (6,35 mm) para conectar estas entradas a una fuente de audio externa para grabar con el MPX16. Controle en nivel de entrada de grabación con la perilla Rec Gain (Ganancia de grabación). Si desea grabar una fuente mono en lugar de una estéreo, conecte solamente la entrada izquierda (L). Al conectar un cable a cualquiera de estos conectores, el micrófono se desactivará automáticamente.
6.Entrada MIDI: Utilice un cable MIDI estándar de cinco patillas para conectar esta entrada MIDI a la salida MIDI de un dispositivo MIDI externo (por ejemplo, otro controlador MIDI).
7.Salida MIDI: Utilice un cable MIDI estándar de cinco patillas para conectar esta salida MIDI a la entrada MIDI de un dispositivo MIDI externo (por ejemplo, un sintetizador, secuenciador, caja de ritmos, etc.).
8.Salida principal: Use cables TRS estándar de 1/4 pulg. (6,35 mm) para conectar estas salidas a un altavoz o sistema de amplificador. Para obtener sonido monofónico, conecte un cable solamente a la salida izquierda (L). Ajuste el nivel de estas salidas con la perilla Volume (Volumen).
9.Salida para auriculares: Conecte auriculares estéreo estándar de 1/4 pulg (6,35 mm) a esta salida. Ajuste el nivel de esta salida con la perilla Volume.
