Sampler functions
Recording samples
NOTE for S1000PB users: The following sections do not apply to the S1000PB. Please
ignore these sections, and resume at the section headed "SELECT SAMPLE (S1000PB
only)" (page 49).
When you start sampling, you must have a clean area of memory to do it, and enough
memory to work in. In sampling, it is better to start with too much memory space than too
little. You can always "top and tail" a sample later on, but you cannot create memory out of
thin sir.
Restart your S1000. Press the
EDIT SAMPLE button, and you are in a position to start recording
and editing a blank sample, whose name defaults to
"NEW SAMPLE". The first thing to do is to
name the sample. Give it a meaningful name of up to 12 characters for a mono sample - 10
characters for stereo (press
NAME and use the other buttons to enter a name ENT/PLAY when
done). A name such as "HUGHS SAMPLE" will mean nothing in a month's time, while
"HUGHS BASS" will at least tell you what kind of instrument the sample refers to. The
reason why 2 fewer characters are allowed in a stereo sample is that the S1000 automatically
adds "-L" and "-R" to the two sample names when creating a sample, and any characters you
add in the 11th and 12th positions will automatically be overwritten. Now
COPY the NEW
SAMPLE to your work area with the name you've just entered.
The "
monitoring program" can be set to either MONITOR or a program name. This
enables you choose what sound will be heard when you press
ENT/PLAY button. Usually, you
should set this to MONITOR.
While we're in this page, let's look at the other facilities provided. In addition to access the
REC1, REC2, ED.1 and ED.2 pages (of which, more later), you can also copy, rename, or delete the
chosen sample (as displayed on the top line) from memory.
Note that these three last operations do not affect the samples as stored on disk. If you delete a
sample from memory, this will not delete it from disk. Of course, if you have not previously
stored a sample to disk before deleting it from memory, that's the end of your sample! To copy
a sample to another area of memory, use the
NAME button to enter a new name (and then
confirm it with the
ENT/PLAY button). Then press the COPY button. A copy of the original sample
will now be stored in memory under the new name. If there is not enough memory to store the
new copy, the display will show this when you press the
COPY button. Renaming follows the
same procedure - enter a new name, and then press the
REN button. The original sample will
still be there in the same place in memory, but under a new name. Pressing the
DEL.
