Trigger Type List Type 1 1.-.- : When the sample is not heard, the loop continues playing and each time the SAMPLE BANK button is pressed, the volume control is turned on or off. Explanation: This setting is synchronized to the audio input (sampling song) and is suitable for overlapping or changing the songs performed with the sample. Furthermore, the setting is suitable for swapping synchronized loop samples with each other. Type 2 2.-.G : When the sample is not heard, the loop continues playing. The sample volume is set to on (Gate) only when the SAMPLE BANK button is held down. Explanation: The basic operation is the same as Type 1. The sound is only heard when the SAMPLE BANK button is held down, therefore, this setting is unsuitable for long periods of playback. However, this setting is suitable when the MUTE button is touched repeatedly or when a gating effect, such as LF.20: Slicer, is applied to a specified sample. Hold
