Sampler functions
SELECT PROG
Unlike a synthesizer, you cannot play the S1000 straight away - you must load samples,
keygroups and programs from disk first.
Getting started and checking out - playing supplied factory samples
When the operating system message has cleared from the bottom line of the display, you
will be in the main SELECT PROG page (the
SELECT PROG will be lit). Remove the
Operating System
disk (if you've used it to load a later version of the operating system),
and insert one of the supplied sample disks. Now press the
DISK button (F5, not the DISK
button on the bottom row). After a short time, the words
"LOAD FROM DISK" should be
displayed at the top left hand corner of the page.
A list of all the programs and samples on the disk will be displayed on the left side of the
page, which extends below the bottom of the screen. You can scroll through the list (for
information) using the CURSOR knob.
To load the entire contents of the disk, you will have to use one of the soft keys -in this
case
VOL (F8 )When you press this button, you will be asked to confirm this (press F8 - YES)
– the disk drive LED will come on, and you can see the bottom line of the display
showing the programs and samples being loaded. All samples and programs currently in
memory will be erased. When the disk drive light has gone off, eject the disk, and keep it
with the rest in a safe place (not near magnetic fields such as speakers, power supplies,
TVs or transformers, and away from where some careless person can spill coffee over it).
Now press the SLCT button (F1). Underneath the "PROGRAMS IN MEMORY" at the top of the
page, you will see a list of the programs you have just loaded from the disk. As the page
tells you, you can see them all by scrolling through with the CURSOR knob, and select
one by using the DATA knob (the number on the right side of the page changes, and an
asterisk is displayed next to the selected program). Alternatively, use the number buttons
to make a direct selection, followed by
ENT / PLAY
Now play the keyboard and listen. Remember, what you're hearing are edited samples - if
you don't like these programs, you can go back to the raw samples, trim them, add loops,
resample at different frequencies, and then using the EDIT PROG mode, add filter, After
touch modulation, alter the EG settings, add in other
samples, etc (if you're using a S1000PB, you can use the EDIT PROG functions, but not
the EDIT SAMPLE functions).
