Sampling (recording)
When using internal memory
If you sample to bank A or B, the sample is stored in internal
memory. Internal memory can hold up to 32 samples. If you
reach 32 samples, you won’t be able to record further
samples.
* This includes the PRELOADED SAMPLES THAT ARE ASSIGNED to bank
A when the SP-555 is shipped from the factory.
* LO-FI: This mode provides the distinctive low-fidelity sound that
is typical of early digital devices. It allows longer sampling
times, but the sound quality is not as good as STANDARD.
Once you record a sample using LO-FI, you can’t regain the
original sound quality, even if you resample it using
STANDARD.
When using CompactFlash
If you sample to banks C–J, the sample is stored on
CompactFlash. A CompactFlash card can hold up to 128
samples, regardless of the capacity of the card. If you reach
128 samples, you won’t be able to record further samples.
Remaining sampling time
When you press [REMAIN], the display will indicate the
remaining time.
The remaining time in internal memory is shown if an internal
memory bank is selected, and the remaining time on the
CompactFlash is shown if a CompactFlash bank is selected.
The indication shows the time available for sampling in
monaural/standard mode.
The remaining time indication is an estimate.
