Using the sampler function
The GFX-5 incorporates a sampler function that allows recording the input signal in the internal memory. This can be used to record a phrase from a guitar connected to the [INPUT] jack or the sound from an external source such as a CD or MD player connected to the [AUX IN] jack. The maximum recording duration is six seconds. A recorded phrase can also be played back at a slower speed without changing the pitch. This is convenient for example to copy an up-tempo phrase from a CD.
