Let's Try Out Sampling
The ST-224 goes into the sampling standby mode, and the LED of
the [RECORD] key flashes.
In this mode, sampling will start when the signal level exceeds a
certain threshold (trigger level). This is useful for example for
sampling drums or percussion sounds.
While holding down the [SPECIAL] key, the currently selected trigger
level appears on the display. You can use the [-] and [+] keys to
change the trigger level. The following settings are available.
•ArMoFF (default setting)
Sampling starts immediately when [RECORD] key is pressed (auto
recording mode is off).
•ArM 1 - ArM 3
Auto recording mode is on. Higher figures mean a higher trigger
level.
In this mode, sampling will stop automatically after a certain interval
(called the auto sampling time) has elapsed. This is useful for
example for sampling guitar phrases that you play yourself.
While holding down the [PLAY/STOP] key, the currently selected auto
sampling time appears on the display. (The default setting is oFF.)
Besides the manual sampling procedure using the [RECORD] key as described above, the ST-224 also
allows auto sampling where the start and stop of sampling is controlled automatically. There are two auto
sampling modes: the auto recording mode where sampling starts automatically when the signal level
exceeds a certain threshold, and the auto stop mode where sampling stops automatically after a preset
interval.
