3.2 KIT & SAMPLE POOL
Essential D1 can hold up to 64 KITs. The first 16 KITs are designed by Loopmasters as the Essential
D1's factory content. A KIT file in Essential D1 contains all 12 channels' sample names. The device
searches for the actual sample files in SAMPLE POOL using these names. Thus, it is important to think
twice before renaming or deleting samples in Essential D1.
The SAMPLE POOL in Essential D1 is categorized into 9 folders for the following two reasons:
a) Each channel gets its special effects designed for specific type of sound.
b) The maximum sample length varies from channel to channel:
KIT and BEAT, then search them in KIT POOL and BEAT POOL where the actual KIT and BEAT files are
located via the IDs.
The settings of SEND & RETURN FX and MASTER FX, as well as the BEAT SLOT settings are also saved
under the SONG.
