as a result.
 While the sample is playing, you can press another play button: the first sample stops
immediately and the new sample takes over.
 You can stop the playing sample by stopping the jingle mode: press the "EFF. CUE"
button (20) and hold it until you want the playing sample to be stopped. (only when you
release the "EFF. CUE" button, the sample stops playing)

IMPORTANT REMARKS:

During jingle mode you can't record and edit samples or play loops: switch to normal
sampler mode to perform these tasks. When you turn the mixer off or remove the memory
card, the sampler goes automatically back to standard mode.
HOW TO DELETE 1 SAMPLE:
You can delete samples in both playback and record mode.
 Press the play button where the sample is stored.
 Now press the TAP/REC button (22) at the same time for about 1sec.
After 1 second the display shows "dEL" to indicate that the sample was deleted. (the play
button is dark)
HOW TO DELETE A MEMORY BANK:
You can delete a memory bank in both playback and record mode.
 With the "X-parameter" knob (24) you can browse the memory banks
which contain samples. (empty memory banks are not accessible) To
select a memory bank, just press the "X-parameter" knob once.
 To delete the selected memory bank, first press the "X-parameter" knob (24) then
press the play button marked "32" and "CLR. BNK" (23) at the same time. After about
2 seconds the display shows "dEL" to indicate that the memory bank was deleted. (all
the play buttons are dark).
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "INDIVIDUAL" & "OVERALL" SPEED:
 Individual speed adjust: you can adjust the speed of each sample individually so you
can synchronize the different samples to each other. You can set the individual speed
during "endpoint editing". The individual speed setting is saved together with the
sample begin/endpoints. Check the description of the Y-parameter knob (25) for more
information.
 Overall speed adjust: is used during playback of 1 or 2 samples. This speed is NOT
saved with the sample(s)! Check the description of the Y-parameter knob (25) for more
information. You can also use the pitch bend buttons (8) to synchronize the samples
with the other music sources.
HOW TO EDIT THE STARTING POINT OF A SAMPLE:
If you started the sample recording too early, you can still adjust the exact
starting point. This process is non-destructive.
 Press the play button of the sample you want to play in a loop.
 Now press the "loop intro" button (15) at the same time.
 Release both buttons: you will hear very small loops, similar to what you
hear when you put a CD-player frame search mode.
 With the "X-parameter" knob (24) you can search for a new starting point.
 Press the "loop intro" button again to stop the edit mode and store the new starting
point.
You can repeat these actions until you find the exact starting point.

right moment. Once the loop button is released, the loop stops.
