How do I sample a sound on the OP-XY?

Sampling on the OP-XY is straightforward. Press Sample (top right, waveform icon) to enter the sampling interface. You can record up to 20 seconds per sample.

Basic Sampling Steps

1. 1.Turn the dark grey encoder to select your input source (mic, headset, line in, USB, or main output).
2. 2.Use the light grey encoder to adjust gain and the white encoder to set threshold if needed.
3. 3.Hold M1 to start recording. Release to stop.
4. 4.Press M2 to preview your sample, or M4 to delete it.

Sampler Types

After recording, you can use your sample in different ways:

One Shot Synth Sampler: Press a key to record and set the tuning note. Good for melodic samples you want to play across the keyboard.

Drum Sampler: Records up to 24 one-shot samples across the keyboard. Press a key to select it, then hold M1 to record to that slot.

Multisampler: Records across multiple keyboard zones (up to 24). Press keys from left to right to automatically create zones.

You can also slice drum samples by holding a key and pressing M1, then choosing between transient, even, or tap slicing modes.

All recorded samples appear in the sample folder for reuse in any project.
