How do I use the built-in sounds?

EP-1320tutorialguide

The EP-1320 comes loaded with over 200 built-in samples organised by category. You assign them to the 12 paeds across four groups, then play or sequence them.

Loading sounds onto paeds

  1. 1.Press sonus to enter sound mode.
  2. 2.Press a group button (Group A, Group B, Group C, or Group D) to choose which group you want to work in.
  3. 3.Press one of the 12 paeds to select it.
  4. 4.Press minus or plus to scroll through the available sounds. The screen shows the sample number for that paed.
  5. 5.Repeat for the remaining paeds until your group is filled with sounds you like.

Sound categories

The built-in sounds are organised by number range:

  • 1-69: drums
  • 70-114: phrases
  • 115-127: instruments
  • 128-155: one shots
  • 156-220: sfx and foley
  • 221 onwards: user sounds

Tips for getting started

A good starting layout is Group A for drums, Group B for bass, Group C for melodies, and Group D for loops and samples. Press altero and minus or plus to jump through sound numbers in tens rather than one by one, which speeds up browsing. Hold a paed while in sound mode to preview its name if it has one. Built-in rom sounds cannot be deleted.
