Sampler functions

The next parameter to set up is the time factor by which the original sample is to be

stretched (from 25% to 2000%). As this is altered, the length and time of the new

stretched sample (and the percentage of memory it will occupy) are displayed. Make

sure that these figures do not exceed the amount of memory available. These figures also

vary, of course, according to the length of the portion of the original sample which is to

be stretched.

The "

quality" (the time that the S1000 spends determining cycle lengths) and the

width" of stretch crossfading in the final stretched sample may also be altered from 0l

to 99. This only applies to the INTELL mode.

When you are ready, press GO, You can abort the operation by holding down F8 , for a

few seconds, otherwise the process may take a few minutes (depending on the length of

the sample being stretched). The display will display a message showing that the

time-stretch is in progress, end will also show you how much processing time remains

before finishing.

When the sample has been stretched, the "

in progress" message will be replaced by

the soft key legends, and you can replay the stretched sample with the

PLAY

soft key. Pressing the ENT/PLAY. key will replay the original sample - not the stretched

sample. If you are happy with the sound of the stretched sample, you can proceed to edit,

trim and loop it, just as if it was a freshly-recorded sample.

Re-sampling

From the ED.2 or TIME page, press

RATE in order to enter the re-sampling page. In this

page, the existing samples are resampled at a lower rate in order to conserve memory

space (or they can be sampled at a higher rate, though there's little practical use for

this!).
