12. Using the Built In Sampler:
Your CDI-300™ comes with an advanced built in sampler. You may store up to four samples. One sample in
each of the four
BANK BUTTONS (4) (Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT or a
SAMPLE into a
BANK BUTTON (4), not both). Your sample can be a maximum of 6.5 seconds in length. A
sample can be recalled while a CD is playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, you may even play a
sample when the CD has been removed. You may play your sample at anytime without music interruption. If
you play your sample when the unit is already in playback mode you sample will over lap the current music
source. You can also play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approxi
-
mately 381 (127 x 3) samples in a drives memory (depending on available memory). The
MEMORY BUCKET
(31) on the LCD DISPLAY (22) will approximate the remaining memory.
To create a sample:
1) Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 17). If your loop is longer than 6.5 seconds it
cannot be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.
4) The red MEMORY BUTTON (13)
LED will turn off, when your sample is locked
into memory.
5) At this point your sample has been stored into memory. The original loop you
used to create the sample will remain playing until the OUT BUTTON (18) is
pressed (Figure 25).

point!
