Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital

Keyboard

bobn br

You can sample a sound from a microphone, a portable audio player, or other device, and then play the sound on the keyboard. For example, you could sample the bark of your dog and then use the sound in a melody. You also can sample and use passages from a CD. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

Connection and Preparation

•Before connecting, make sure that this Digital Keyboard, as well as the microphone (WK-220 or WK-225) or external device (CTK-4200) being connected, are all turned off.

1.Connect a microphone or external device to the Digital Keyboard.

<CTK-4200>

Stereo mini plug

CD player, Cassette player, etc.

Digital Keyboard AUDIO IN jack

<WK-220/WK-225>

•You cannot sample sounds input from through the AUDIO IN jack.

bsbtckclcmcn crcsct

•Use a commercially available dynamic microphone.

•Connection of an external device requires commercially available connecting cords, supplied by you. Connecting cords should have a stereo mini plug on one end and a plug that matches the configuration of the external device on the other end.

2.Turn down the volume levels of the external device and the Digital Keyboard.

3.Turn on the external device or microphone, and then turn on the Digital Keyboard.

•When using a microphone, adjust the input volume level with ek(MIC VOLUME).

•It will take a few seconds after you turn on the Digital Keyboard before you will be able to use the microphone.

•Sampled sounds are recorded in monaural.

5. Play something on the Digital Keyboard.

•You may not be able to get 10 seconds of sampling if Digital Keyboard memory is low due to storage of other data. If this happens, deleting other memory data you no longer need will free up memory space and you should be able to sample for 10 seconds. See “Deleting a Sampled Sound” on page E-26 for more information.

•Sampling sound and storing it will delete any sound data currently stored under the same tone number. To help ensure that you do not accidentally delete important data, be sure to read “Protecting Against Accidental Deletion of Sampled Sounds” on page E-26.

Applying Effects to a Sampled Sound

You can apply various effects to sampled sounds.

1.Press bn(TONE) and then use br(10-key) to enter the tone number (601 to 605) to which you want to apply effects.

2.Press bn(TONE) to cycle through the available effects, described below.

	Effect Type	Description
	(Display)
	Original (Orgnl)	Normal sampled tone (no looping, no
		effect).
	Loop 1 (Loop1)	Loops the sampled sound.
		Loops the sample sound and raises the
	Loop 2 (Loop2)	pitch of the resonating sound when the
		keyboard key is released.
		Loops the sample sound and lowers the
	Loop 3 (Loop3)	pitch of the resonating sound when the
		keyboard key is released.
	Pitch 1 (Ptch1)	Changes the pitch from low to high, at an
		increasing rate.
	Pitch 2 (Ptch2)	Changes the pitch from high to low, at a
		decreasing rate.
		Changes the pitch from high to low, at a
	Pitch 3 (Ptch3)	decreasing rate, and then raises the pitch
		when the key is released.
	Tremolo (Treml)	Alternates volume between high and low.
	Funny 1 (Funy1)	Adds vibrato and changes the pitch by a
		gradually increasing amount.
	Funny 2 (Funy2)	Alternates between high pitch and low
		pitch.
	Funny 3 (Funy3)	Adds vibrato and changes the pitch from
		low to high.

•Avoid assigning the same sampled sound to the keyboard for play along and for looped play. Doing so will cause, the Loop 1 effect to be applied to the keyboard tone while looped play of the sampled sound is being performed.

Incorporating a Sampled Sound into a Drum Set (Drum Sampling)

You can use the procedure to change the drum sounds that are assigned to each keyboard key.

•You can store up to three drum sets and store them as tone numbers 606, 607, and 608. Simply select the tone number where the drum set you want is located to assign the drum set sounds to the keyboard.

1.Press bo(RHYTHM).

2.Press bn(TONE) and then use br(10-key) to enter the tone number (606, 607, or 608) for the drum set whose sounds you want to change.
