Re-sampling
Re-sampling allows you to change the sampling frequency of the sample. This is useful for con-
serving memory or it can be used to ‘creatively’ change the quality of the sound (to ‘dirty it up’ a
little).
From the TRIM, LOOP or ZONE screen, select the Snd: field and press OPEN WINDOW.
Press CONVRT [F3] and select RE-SAMPLE with the DATA wheel.
Press NEXT [F5].
New Fs:
This sets the new frequency of the sample.
Quality:
This sets the quality of the sample.
LOW: Least quality but fastest processing.
MED: Moderate quality and relatively fast processing.
HIGH: Best quality but slow processing.
New bit:
You can change the ‘bit’ resolution here, generally this is best left at 16, but you can experi-
ment with lower settings to get a less clean sound.
New name:
Enter a new name for the sample here with the DATA wheel or drum pads.
Press ENTER [F5] when you have finished.
Press DO IT [F5] to convert the sample.
Note: As re-sampling uses program memory, there must be more than 4 programs empty of
data befor re-sampling can be carried out.
