I have an ES-1 and I am unable to get into sample-ready mode.

The manual says you have to hold the pattern set key and the press record button.

I did that, hold both of them, etc... and it never lights up the record key and make the play button blink, or let me select Nno or StE on the LCD. I tried pattern mode and song mode, different patterns and different songs.

Nothing ever happens! What am I doing wrong???? Please help. Do not know what else to try, thanks.

have you tried switching to "sample" mode first??

you know, in the mode selection directly below the LCD screen, where it says "Pattern / Song / SAMPLE / Global" ?

We had the same issue: record key didn’t light up and play button didn’t blink when holding pattern set + rec
I think it’s a memory data issue, we tried deleting some long samples and there it was working!
pattern set + rec working and resampling available
