PERFORMING A RE-SAMPLE

First, create a new sample - re-sampling is a copy process and so you have to create a

new sample by pressing NAME, entering a new name and pressing ENT. If you wish to

use either of the two preset sampling rates, simply press either or - this will re-

sample the original to three quarters or two thirds the original frequency. Alternatively, set

a value of your choosing in the field and press .

If you have not named the new sample you will receive the prompt:

You should input a unique name. During the re-sampling process (which is very quick but

does depend on the length of the sample) you will receive the message:

When the process is complete, you can play the new sample by pressing the key.

You can use the re-sampling facility to save on memory. In the studio where you have

time to load in new sounds this may not be so crucial but on-stage, you ideally need to

cram as much into the S3000XL as possible. Even with 32 Megabytes of RAM installed,

there will be occasions where you need to squeeze that little bit more out of the samplers

internal memory. In this respect, the re-sampling functions are ideal. In fact, given that

listening conditions at a gig are nowhere near as critical as in the studio, you could afford

to make special ‘gig disks’ where the bandwidth is more limited than it could be to save

even more space in your memory.
