Remaining
Memory
Indication
In Play mode, if
either
of the cursor
keys is
pressed,
the
PROG.NO./DATA
display
will show
the
remaining memory
(i.e. remaining
sampling time)
in
seconds. It
is
useful to
check
how long
you can
sample.
For example,
in case you
have
not
yet used
the
memory, as
seen
in the
diagram,
"15.6"
will
be
shown. Also,
if you have used
up the
memory,
"FUL
"
will be
shown.
DO
P
Erasing
Samples
As
mentioned
before in sampling
methods,
each
sample
contained
in a bank
can
easily be
erased.
This
can be
applied when
deleting an
unnecessary
sample by
selecting
its
bank.
Methods:
1
.
Set the
trigger
level
at
"100"
using the
data
entry
knob.
2. Press and
hold down the REC
key,
then press
the
desired
bank
key, the
PROG.
NO./DATA
display
will flash once, and the
sample
will
be
erased.
3.
Press any key
other than the
REC key,
and the
SOI
will
go
to
Play
mode.
Multi-sampling
When playing sampled sounds
with a
MIDI
keyboard,
if
playing
them in a
much
higher or
lower key
range that
is far away from
C3
key
(original
pitch),
the sound
will be
extremely
strange
or unnatural.
This
problem is solved
by
making
several
samples
of
different
pitches
(lower
to
higher) out
of the same
sound
source (multi-sampling) and
assigning
them
with
their
respective
appropriate key
ranges.
If that
multi-sampled program is played,
the
reproduction
will
be
more natural
in a
wider
key
range.
The SOI
enables you to make an 8
point
multi-sampled
program
utilizing 8
banks by
assigning each
bank
with
the
same program number
and
MIDI channel,
plus
an
individual
key
range
and
transposition.
The
supplied operation guide disk
includes a
multi-sampled
program
prepared. See
page 48
for details.
