Pressing the arrow down keys will take you into the next sampling setup page where you can add Digital EQ on the input stage. You’ll also notice that there is a level indicator so you can monitor the incoming signal. As you continue to cursor down the page, you’ll come to the next parameters to set-up the S-760 for sampling.
Input – Analog or Digital (if you have the OP-760 option board installed).
Digital ATT – Can attenuate both digital and analog signals.
Normalize – Automatically increases the overall level of a sample without affecting it in any other way. This is helpful when a sample has not been recorded at full gain.
The last page as you scroll down, has the Sampling Trigger parameters. If you set the trigger type to Auto, the following parameters need to be set:
Level – This sets an audio threshold to initiate sampling. You will need to set a threshold level for the sampler to know when to start sampling. (Recommended range between 5-10)
Pre-Trigger – Allows you to record signals before the threshold is reached. (Recommended range .01-.02)
Once you’ve set-up your sampling configuration you are ready to sample. (See steps 1-4 above).
5. Press F1-New. You will see a temporary name appear at the top of the page. 1) New: Unnamed. You can name the sample by moving the cursor and highlighting it and pressing S2., which places you on the ASCII keyboard page. Move the cursor to the letter you want and press the S1 button to select it.
6. Press F3-MonOn to monitor the incoming audio signal.
7. Press F3-Ready. This takes you to the Sampling page.
8. To begin sampling, press F1-Start. A message will come-up saying Start Cancel = Exit. Play the input source that you are sampling. You’ll see the box on the left fill up, as the sampling is going on. After you record the sample, press Stop to stop the sampling process. You will see arrows turning around saying “Now Working” after the sample is taken. When this is done, a waveform of the sample will be displayed. You should be able to play the keyboard or push the Preview button and hear the sample on the key that you set as the original key. If you are satisfied with the results, press Exit. If not, press F2-Retry.
9. You’ll then come to the Split page. This page is for setting the key or keys that you want the sample assigned to. Press Shift and press F2 < Kbd which will set the range for 88 notes. You won't hear the sample until you press the F3-Set button, which sets the key range you've determined. At this point, you've created a Sample, a Partial, and a Patch. You can exit to the Performance Play page and you'll see your sample assigned to the first Patch, with a temporary name ie: NEW Unnamed, or whatever name you've given the sample.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
