Sampled Sounds and SIMMs
The TS-10 has the ability to read and edit sample sound files created for the EPS, EPS–16 PLUS,
and the ASR-10 samplers. Sampled Sounds (as they are called in the TS-10) are stored in Dynamic
RAM, and are not saved when the TS-10 power is turned off. From the factory, the TS-10 has two
internal SIMMs, and provide 2 Megabytes of 16-bit sample RAM.
For more information about loading, selecting, and using Sampled Sounds in Presets, Sequences
and Songs, see Section 14 — Understanding Sampled Sounds.
How Many SIMMs?
The TS-10 offers two SIMM options:
• With two 1m x 8 non-parity SIMMs (as it ships from the factory) — 1 BankSet (S8) is available
(1 BankSet consists of 10 Sampled Sound Banks). The BankSet will hold 1MWord of Sampled
Sound information, equivalent to 4018 blocks of memory.
• With two expansion 4m x 8 non-parity SIMMs — 2 BankSets (S8 and S9) of 10 Sampled Sound
Banks each are available. Each BankSet will hold 2MWords of Sampled Sound information,
for a total of 4 MWords, offering 8114 blocks of memory for BankSet S8, and 8191 blocks for
BankSet S9.
Warning!
Because adding expansion SIMMs requires opening the TS-10 casing (which voids the ENSONIQ
Warranty), SIMMs are not user-installable, and must be installed by an Authorized ENSONIQ Repair
Station. To prevent damaging your TS-10, and/or causing bodily injury, do not attempt to install the
SIMMs yourself.
