In Voice/Performance/Phrase Clip Mode, the
Foot Switch can now be used to switch
between programs.
Alternatively, you can assign other functions
such as Arpeggio Switch (On/Off), Sequencer
(Play/Stop) and so on (Page 165).
4 Phrase Clips
Real-world sounds can be recorded or loaded into
the synthesizer and played back as musical
instruments sounds. The waveform data held in
the synthesizer are knows as Phrase Clips.
These Phrase Clips are created and played back in
Phrase Clip Mode (Page 142). A basic overview
of Phrase Clips is given here.
Phrase Clips Overview
As shown in the following illustration, on the rear
panel (or the front panel of the CS6R), there is an
A/D INPUT jack for inputting analog sources to
the A/D converter. The A/D converter then
converts the signals from these analog sources
into digital binary signals through a process
known as “sampling.” Within the synthesizer,
these sampled signals are called Phrase Clips, and
up to 256 of these Phrase Clips can be held within
the 4MB of internal memory. You can assign
Phrase Clips to any keys on the keyboard to play
them back. A collection of Phrase Clip keyboard
assignments is known as a Clip Kit, of which you
can create up to four. You can then assign Clip
Kits to Performances, just like with Voices.
When playing back Phrase Clips, the processing of
signals is the opposite of A/D conversion. The
digital signals are passed through a D/A converter
to convert them back to analog form.
