Amemory card can store 128 multisamples.In order to hear a multisample, you’ll need to assign it to a Partas a Patch. Choose the desired samples to create themultisample, and then assign it as a patch to a keyboard part foruse.Performance Modefig.15-014_50fig.04-012.eMultisampleMultisampleNo.128MultisampleNo.001A multisample isdivided into 128sampleNo.001sampleNo.002sampleNo.003sampleNo.127sampleNo.128Number in the sample list4.
