Re: Sampling from a CD

What kind of CD player do you have? That will determine the type of cable you need.

If it’s a portable player, you need a cable with 1/8” stereo plug to two 1/4” mono plugs.

If it’s a component player, you need two RCA to 1/4” mono plug cables.

Re: Sampling from a CD

Yeah, that is all what you need for the connection, but I would go differently - for me the below described way is easier.

I believe you have an audio/sample CD. Use you computer and your Cubase and rip the requested track from the CD.

Once done, save that track as audio file.

Next: you can do (cut, normalize, loop, etc...) whatever you want with that audio file on your computer and once done you can simply load the “finished” audio sample(s) to your XS via USB.
Not difficult and rather fast.

Hope this helps.
