GUIDED TOUR #6:
DIGITALLY PROCESSING SAMPLES
BACKGROUND and SETUP
Digital processing allows for radically altering voices stored in the bank. In this Guided
Tour, we’ll learn — among other topics — how to truncate, loop, reverse, splice, and
combine samples. First, though, we need to take a couple of samples with which we can
practice.
1. Clear the bank of memory (MASTER 4).
2. Follow the directions in Guided Tour #5 and make a sample of yourself speaking.
However, select a 4 second sample length (SAMPLE 4). After setting the threshold and
such, arm sampling and start jabbering.
3. De-activate the sample module, then re-activate and take another 4 second sample.
You will not have to do any setup — just hit SAMPLE 6 and talk away. You now have
two samples suitable for experimentation.
CHOOSING THE CURRENT VOICE
Activate DIGITAL PROCESSING. You will be asked to select a voice, so press a key
within the range of the voice that you want to work on and press ENTER.
TRUNCATING A VOICE
1. Choose DIGITAL PROCESSING 1 to truncate the ends from voices.
2. Vary the data slider as you play a key in the range assigned to the current voice. Notice
the start of the voice will disappear. Use this technique to get rid of silence at the start of
a voice or for effects.
3. Move the cursor using the arrow keys to the End display. Use the data slider to truncate
any undesired part off the end of the sample.
4. When you get tired of truncating, press ENTER. When Emax II asks if you want to
“Make Truncation Permanent?”, enter NO so that the full sample is available for
subsequent experiments in this tour.
5. If desired, change the current voice (DIGITAL PROCESSING 0) and experiment with
truncating the other sample you took. Again, when asked if you want to “Make
Truncation Permanent?”, press NO.
LOOPING A VOICE
1. If you haven’t yet done so, activate the DIGITAL PROCESSING module and assign
the current voice. Select function 4 and turn the loop mode ON.
