import of larger wav file

I believe they have to be 16 Bit 44.1khz PCM Wave format, so check that they are.

I have used my FA06 a few years now for playing midi tracks live in a duo. One of my singers just completed a new studio cd. The engineer made a mix of every song without her vocal and without the keyboard parts for me. I created a song on the FA and copied each track to a pad on the sampler. Now I just press the correct pad for whatever song she wants to sing and I play the keyboard parts along with it. I upgraded the SD card to a 32 gig for all the samples I am now using. I even created a new song and loaded each pad with 15-20 minutes of music to play on breaks. No need to take an mp3 player along anymore. All of the samples must be wav. files.

Thanks my wav files were indeed the wrong format i guess, Linux tells me:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, mono 48000 Hz
I don't know if that's close but clearly not at 44.1. Dirwin that's awesome what you're doing with yours!

OK that worked, imported to a pad key. Now how to move that same sound to one of the song tracks?

.wav's will automatically save to the song file that you have selected when you import.

So important to remember that. i.e. you can remove from the wav from the import folder on your SD card once it's gone into a song file. But also you have to be careful not to overwrite existing songs samples, as it is permanent.

When you select songs the samples that you have in the pads automatically update.

If you want to put a wav onto a sequencer track, that is Part 16, just record using the sequencer and press the pads to trigger the audio files and they will print into the sequencer timeline.

If you have Part 16 selected, you can also use the keys, which offers velocity sensitivity.

I converted all wav-Files into mp3-Files, because the files are much smaller, than a wave-file. I think, you don‘t hear the difference in quality!

To record the Files into a Track of the Sequencer, do the following:
1) Switch Track 16 from MIDI to PAD on the Sequencer Main-Screen
2) If you don‘t need the Tempo-Track for Midi-Sequencing, set Tempo to 240*
3) select Pad-Edit and switch the Gate of the Sample to OFF (Important!)**
4) Press RECORD and start the Sequencer
5) Press the Pad-Button with your Sample-File
6) After recording stop the Sequencer after two measures behind your Song
7) Press Shift+Microscope Edit and put the cursor on the Note you see
8) Press MOVE and move the recorded Event to the Start of your Song (1.1.0.)
9) Press WRITE and save your Studio Set.
10) Press WRITE and save your Song WITH the Sample (!)

* If you accidentally speed up the tempo during the song, it can happen that the sequence is quicker to finish than the recorded sample. The machine then stops at the end of the sequence, regardless of which bar in the sample you are currently in. Therefore, if you do not need the tempo track in the sequence, it is advisable to set the tempo to 240, thus preventing the sequence from being accidentally made even faster.

** When you forget to set the Gate to OFF, it could happen, that the Sample stops in the middle of the Sample.
When you press the Sample-Button without using the Sequencer, you can stop Sampleplaying by pressing the Hold-Button four times

You can change the Volume of your Sample in the Sequence by changing the Velocity-Value in Microscope Edit!

Thanks for the very detailed writeup. It would've taken me a long time to arrive at that myself. I guess you can't get the sample to be exported into stereo mix even after that. Or perhaps i'm still not quite doing it right.

I must add my thanks, Candy for that write-up. I grabbed it and saved as a PDF for future reference. You have saved me a LOT of time having to figure all that out. :)
