®ÂØÒÅˆÎ DJ-70/DJ-70MKII Supplemental Notes

VI. Recording a Sample

The DJ-70/DJ-70MKII allows you to record an audio source that is connected to its audio input. This recording is

eferred to as a Sample. Use the following procedure to record a Sample:

1) Press INDEX.

2) Use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight “Sampling” and press S1.

3) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Sample” and press S1.

4) Use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight “Blank” and press S1.

5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Type” and the VALUE dial to select “1-way” (if necessary).

6) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Trigger” and the VALUE dial to select “Start/End” (if necessary).

7) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Time (sec)” and the VALUE dial to select a Sample time that is slightly

longer than the sound you wish to record.

8) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Normalize” and the VALUE dial to select “On” (if necessary). Normalizing

searches for the loudest point in the Sample and increases its value to the maximum. All other points in the

Sample are increased by the same percentage. This will help you achieve the best signal to noise ratio.

Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Monitor.” If you are sampling an electronic source (CD player, tap9) e deck,

etc.) use the VALUE dial to select ”On.” If you are sampling from a microphone select “Off” to prevent feedback.

Use the CURSOR buttons and the VALUE dial to set the Mode to “Mono”, the Orig. Key to “F4”, and the Freq. 10)

to “44.1” (if necessary). This will allow us to record a mono Sample at “CD” quality.

Press GRAPHIC so it is lit. 11)

12) Play your audio source and

use the SAMPLING LEVEL knob to adjust the recording level. The asterisk should

occasionally appear to the right of the meter bars when your audio source is at its peak.

Press SAMPLE START/END to begin sampling. Press SAMPLE START/END again whe

13) n you are finished.

14) Play the keyboard to hear the results. The note assigned to “F4” (step #10 above) will be the same pitch and

tempo as the audio source.

VII. Editing Samples

After recording your Sample on the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII you will want to take advantage of the DJ-70/DJ-

70MKII's Sample editing capabilities.

Truncating

During the sa

mpling process, unwanted sound often gets recorded at the beginning or end of a Sample.

The Truncate function allows you to erase these sections and restore memory to your DJ-70/DJ-70MKII.

The easiest way to truncate a Sample is to use the graphic window and set the area to be erased by

using markers. Use the following procedure to truncate a Sample:

1) Press JUMP MENU so it is lit.

2) Press F3 to access the Truncate

display.

3) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Sa

mple” and press S1.

4) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the Sample you wish to tr

uncate and press S1.

5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Key On Mode” and use the VALUE dial to selec

t “FromTo.”

6) Press GRAPHIC so it is lit. A graphic representation of your Sample will now be displayed.

7) Play the keyboard to hear your Sample.

8) Press F2 and use the VALUE dial to adjust the beginning (FROM) of your Sample as desired. The

darkened bar above the waveform represents the portion of your Sample that will playback.

Press F3 and use the VALUE dial to adjust the end (TO) point of your Sample as desired. An

9) y portion

of your Sample that is not underneath the darkened bar above the waveform will be erased when the

Truncate procedure is executed.

Press F1 to execute the Truncate

10) procedure. After “Complete” is displayed, play the keyboard to hear

the results.

NOTE: You can control how quickly the VALUE dial scrolls through your Sample by pressing F5 (the

X parameter). As you press the F5 button, the display will indicate the current resolution of the

VALUE dial (1-10,000). A larger resolution number will allow you to scroll through the Sample fa

ster

than a smaller resolution.
