Using the Sampler Function
The 708II incorporates a sampler function that allows recording the input signal in the internal
memory or on a SmartMedia card.
This can be used to record a phrase from the bass connected to the [INPUT] jack or the
sound from an external source such as a CD player connected to the [AUX IN] jack. When
using the internal memory, the maximum recording duration is 6 seconds (1 sample). When
using a 16 MB SmartMedia card, up to 4 minutes (maximum 60 samples) can be recorded. A
recorded phrase can also be played at slower speed without changing the pitch. This is
convenient to copy a fast-played phrase from a CD.
For playing a sample, you can choose between two modes: "one-shot playback" where the
sampled phrase is played once when you operate a key or pedal, and "loop playback", where
the sampled phrase continues to play until stopped.
