EDIT SAMPLE
RE-SAMPLE
Pressing RE-SAMPLE shows this screen:
The RE-SAMPLE process allows you to change the sampling frequency of a sample. This can be
used to conserve memory but can also be used to ‘creatively’ to reduce the quality of a sound. The
parameters are:
RE-SAMPLE FREQ This sets the new frequency of the sample.
RESOLUTION You may change the ‘bit’ resolution here. Typically, this will be kept at
16-BIT but you may like to experiment with other settings for a ‘grungier’
sound

.
QUALITY There are three settings:
LOW Least quality (i.e. transposed sounds will become aliased) but fastest
processing.
MED Moderate quality and relatively fast processing.
HIGH Best quality but slower processing.
PRESET This allows you to select from a variety of preset re-sampling frequencies
(e.g..: 1/2, 3/4, 1/3, 2/3, etc.).
Pressing SET NEW FREQ will initiate the process. You will see the usual “Processing sample”
progress display followed by the PLAY/KEEP ORIGINAL/NEW/BOTH and RENAME prompt.
Respond accordingly.
15 In theory, you would think that the resolution parameter would enable you to re-create the sound of
older 8- or 12-bit samplers. However, the ‘grungy’ sound these samplers produced was as much
due to their low quality D-A convertors as the bit-rate they were sampled at. Because of the high
quality 20-bit D-A converters used on the S6000, setting a low bit-rate using the RESOLUTION
parameter may not automatically result in the ‘lo-fi’ effect you are after. However, selecting a low
bit resolution here AND setting the lowest RE-SAMPLE FREQ(uency) will produce a suitably grungy,
muddy, lo-fi sound. Experiment!
