SELECT SAMPLE (S1000PB only)

NOTE: This section applies to the S1000PB only. If you are using another model in the

series, this section does not apply. Please resume reading at the "EDIT PROG" section,

page ??.

From any page, press the SELECT SAMLE button, and you are in a position to get information

on, copy, delete or rename a sample. The first thing to do is to select a sample. Use the

CURSOR buttons to make sure that the cursor is at the top right of the screen, and the

DATA buttons to select a sample. Sample names are up to 12 characters long for a mono

sample - and 10 characters for stereo (followed by the characters "-L" or -R", added by the

S1000 at sample time.

To enter a new sample name for copying or renaming, 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. Now use

COPY or REN to copy or rename the existing sample to the name

you've just entered. If the name already exists for a sample, the S1000PB will display this.

To delete a sample, simply press the DEL button to delete the currently-selected sample. This

operation cannot be undone, so make sure that you have a copy on disk if you want to use

this sample at any time in the future,

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.

There are two soft keys which bring up other pages – PARA and LIST.

PARA

This page allows you to alter certain parameters of individual samples. The field where the

sample is selected is, once again, at the top right of the screen. Use the DATA buttons to

select the sample.

The next parameter allows you to alter the original pitch at which the sample was recorded,

so that when you replay it on the keyboard, it will come out at the correct pitch. Further fine

tuning (in semitones and cents) can be done with the next parameter.

The next parameter determines the way in which the sample will be played back. There are

four options available here. Note that these settings depend on a loop point which has

previously been set up on a S1000 which is capable of recording and editing samples.

The first is LOOP IN RELEASE. This means that when a key is pressed, the sample will

play through all the loops until the first HOLD loop is reached. When the key is released, the

HOLD loop will continue to play as the release falls away.

LOOP UNTIL RELEASE is slightly different. Again, the sample will play, with all loops,

until the first HOLD loop is reached. However, when the key is released, the loop will end,

and the remaining portion of the sample (if any) will be played. This is a useful setting for

sounds which have a definite attack, an indefinite sustain period (set with the loop), and a

-definite release characteristic.
