CREATING AND EDITING SAMPLES
The Genesys Ensemble features a powerful sampler and
sample editor which can be used to create completely new
sounds for the instrument.
In fact, if youve read the manual this far, you already know
how to sample sounds on the Genesys Ensemble. Its the
same procedure we used in the How To Record A WAVE,
(Hard Disk Recording) section of the RECORDING
STUDIO chapter. In that section we made a complete re-
cording while we were playing and singing at the same
time. However, in exactly the same way, we could have
just used the microphone, a guitar or any other instrument
connected to the inputs to create some sampled notes which
we could assemble into a new sound using the Genesys
Ensemble SAMPLE EDITOR.
The Sample Editor allows you to load in up to 16 individual
samples which can then be edited, tuned and mapped to
different regions of the keyboards. At the end of the process,
you simply save the result as a new sound which can be
used in the instrument just like any other sound.
Samples can come from many different places but most
professional quality samples are supplied on commercially
produced CD-ROMs. You can also find some good quality
samples on the internet, many of which are usually small
enough to be copied onto a floppy disk. With the Genesys
Ensemble Sample Editor you can load samples from CDs,
floppy disks, the internal hard disk and, using the SCSI
interface, other devices like ZIP and JAZ drives. Compat-
ible sample formats are AKAI® (floppy disks only), .WAV,
.AIFF, (on MS-DOS formatted devices), SMP, SND and KRZ.
