MIDI SAMPLE DUMPS

Samples can be transferred between the S3000XL and other samplers via MIDI and this

is done in the EXCL page:

To perform a MIDI data dump, you must make a MIDI loop (MIDI OUT of the S3000XL

connected to MIDI IN of the other sampler, and vice versa). This is necessary because of

the way in which MIDI sample dumps are performed (in computer terms, a handshake

protocol with error detection/correction).

Though the S3000XL is a 16-bit sampler, it can accept samples from other samplers,

including those from other manufacturers which use a lower bit resolution. If transmitting

to another sampler which uses fewer bits, the S3000XL simply truncates the low bits

during the transfer. Instead of another sampler, samples can be transmitted to and

accepted from other devices (such as computers) which are capable of storing and/or

editing sample data with the appropriate sample editing software. However, in this section

we will always refer to the other device as a ‘sampler’. The fields are as follows:

This does not refer to a MIDI channel, but a ‘logical

channel’ used in System Exclusive protocol. Both samplers

must be set to the same channel for transfer to take place.

This parameter refers to what will actually be transmitted

over MIDI. This can be , ,

, , or .

The meanings of these values should be self-explanatory.

Two protocols for sample transfer are available.

conforms to the MIDI sample dump standard and will

dump only samples across and , which is a superset

of the MIDI sample dump standard which will dump

everything including loop and other data. Use the

setting only if you are transferring data between two

S3000XL-compatible machines.

If you have selected transmission, this

parameter allows you to specify the program which will be

transmitted.

If you have selected transmission, this

parameter allows you to specify the sample which will be

transmitted.

You can override the default sample number (based on

the order in which samples appear in the S3000XL’s

memory) with this parameter.
