English Features and controls

3. Stop recording by pressing the OUT key. If the

maximum recording time (30 seconds) is reached.

recording will stop automatically. The IN key you

pressed earlier, and the OUT key both light.

Erasing sample data

When a sampler contains data (its IN key is lit), press and

hold the OUT key and press the IN key to erase the

sample data. The IN key goes out. If no samplers contain

data, the OUT key goes out as well.

Playback

1. When a sampler contains data (its IN key is lit) press

its IN key to start playback. The appropriate PLAY

indicator lights and playback starts from the

beginning of the sample. Pressing any IN key again

during playback will start playback from the start of

the appropriate sample (including the currently-

playing one).

Note that the X-17 can hold three samples but only

one can be played at a time.

2. Use the LEVEL knob to adjust the output level.

3. Stop playback by pressing the OUT. The appropriate

PLAY indicator goes out.

Looped Playback

1. Press LOOP key to light it. When it is lit, pressing one

of the IN keys starts looped playback, and the

appropriate PLAY indicator lights.

2. When the LOOP key is lit, and looped playback is

going on, you can press LOOP to turn off the key and

stop the looping. This does not stop the playback,

though. Playback stops at the end of the sample (or

when you press the OUT key).

Sampler pitch and tempo control

1. Use the PITCH control to adjust the playback pitch

and speed. The pitch range is from half speed

(SLOW) to double speed (FAST).

Saving samples to a CompactFlash card

Note that when you turn off the X-17, all sample data not

saved on cards is lost. Save samples to a CompactFlash

card using the procedure described here.

1. Insert the Compact Flash card into the slot.

Note that this operation erases all data on the card.

If there is any data you want to keep on a card, you

should not save to that card.

NOTE

2. Set the SAMPLER SOURCE selector to the SAVE

position. The OUT key starts to flash.

3. Press the OUT key. It lights and the save operation

starts. If any data is already stored on the card, it is

deleted, and the save starts. As data is saved from

each sample, the IN key for that sample flashes.

4. After the last sample has been saved, the OUT key

flashes, and the IN keys return to the state they were

in before the save operation (lit keys indicate a sample

is present).

Loading samples from a CompactFlash card

Note that this operation erases all samples currently

in the X-17’s memory. If there are any samples in

memory that you want to keep, you should save

them to another card first.

1. Insert the CompactFlash card into the slot.

2. Set the SAMPLER SOURCE SELECTOR to the

LOAD position. The IN1/<- key starts to flash.

3. Press the IN1/<- key. It flashes, and the load operation

starts.

4. After the load operation has finished and samples

have been loaded, the IN keys light (if one sample has

been loaded, IN1 lights, if two samples have been

loaded, IN1 and IN2 light, if three samples have been

loaded, all keys light. If there were no samples to be

loaded on the card, no keys are lit.

5. After the load operation is finished, the IN keys

corresponding to the loaded samples will light. If no

samples have been loaded from the card, no keys will

be lit.
