1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the

PBS-TRI Playback Sampler/Flash ROM option

In order to enjoy long and trouble-free use of this product, please read this man-

ual carefully to learn how to use the

PBS-TRI

correctly.

Expanded multisamples and drum samples

When the

PBS-TRI

is installed, the multisample and drum sample memory is

expanded, allowing PCM data to be loaded from ﬂoppy disk and used as multi-

samples or drum samples.

This allows the

TRINITY series

to utilize the

PCM data

KORG format ﬁles

AKAI S1000 format ﬁles

, and

AIFF ﬁles

The following limits apply to the number of PCM data items that can be loaded.

The

number of samples

is the sum of the samples used in the multisamples plus

the number of drum samples.

For example if you have loaded two multisamples each consisting of 8 samples,

and ten drum samples, the remaining number that can be loaded will be 98 mul-

tisamples (= 100–2), 190 drum samples (= 200–10), and 474 samples (= 500–8

2–

10).

The capacity of the PCM memory is

approximately 8 Mbytes

(8,323,040 bytes).

It is not possible to load samples which are larger than 2 Mbytes. Also, individ-

ual samples which exceed the capacity of a ﬂoppy disk (approximately 1.4

Mbytes for a 2HD disk) can be saved only to a hard disk when the SCSI option

or the HRD option has been added.

Multisamples maximum 100

Drum samples maximum 200

Samples maximum 500

What is a sample?

Each multisample consists of PCM data (waveforms) for two or more

pitch ranges. Each of these units of PCM data is referred to as a sample.

Samples are numbered from the bottom end of the keyboard as Sam-

ple:000, Sample:001, Sample:002, etc.

For example, a multisample with seven split points would contain 8 sam-

ples.
