Section 6: Sampling and editing sounds 129<br />
3. You must now decide which of the 34 drums you want to sample the new<br />
sound into (31 normal drums plus 3 for the hihat). Use the DATA<br />
CONTROL to select one of the 34 drums. As you rotate the knob, the<br />
NAME field will display the current sound (if any) which is assigned to the<br />
displayed drum. If you select a drum which already contains a sound, that<br />
sound will be erased from memory to make room for the new sound you<br />
will be sampling.<br />
As the warning states, once you press SOFT KEY 1, , not only<br />
will the displayed sound be erased (if one exists), but also THE ENTIRE<br />
SEQUENCE MEMORY WILL BE ERASED! This is necessary because<br />
the sequence memory is used as a temporary holding area for the newly<br />
sampled sound.<br />
Once you have selected the drum to sample into, proceed to the next step<br />
by pressing , and the following screen will appear:<br />
This is the main sampling screen.<br />
4. Move the cursor to the LENGTH(SEC) field and select the amount of<br />
recording time you want to use for your sample. All sampling is done at the<br />
full 40 KHz sampling rate- no other sampling rates are permitted (This<br />
allows the circuitry to be optimized for full bandwidth recording). The<br />
maximum sampling time will be determined by how much memory is<br />
currently available. If the maximum available sampling time is not enough<br />
for the sound you are sampling, you must first delete some existing sounds<br />
from memory. To do this, select the EDIT A SOUND option from the<br />
SOUNDS menu.<br />
NOTE: Even though the <strong>MPC</strong><strong>60</strong> has a maximum total sampling time of<br />
13.1 seconds (or 26.2 seconds if you have the memory expansion option),<br />
the maximum sampling time for a single sound is 5.0 seconds. If you are<br />
not sure how much time to use, use a little
