THE MAIN SAMPLE TRANSLATOR DIS-
PLAY
The main Sample Translator display consists of
16 slots, each able to house a sample that can
compose a Waveform. A Waveform may consist
of one or more samples covering different key-
board ranges.
The display example below shows the sample
configuration of a Waveform originating from a
previous series instrument.
Here, the original RAM -Sound contains a
Waveform consisting of 6 samples, each as-
signed to a specific range of the keyboard:
Locations without samples are numbered and
shown with three dashes (– – –).

The Sample Translator options
Load: Loads a sample into the selected lo-
cation, directly from the selected
Ram -Sound, from floppy disk or
via MIDI from an external source
(computer, sampler, etc.).
Save: Saves a sample to the instrument’s
Wave Library. Only samples which
have been assigned a keyboard ex-
tension are saved. Saving also es-
capes the Sample Translator and
returns to Edit Sound where you can
create a new Sound with the new
Waveform.
Delete: Cancels the selected Sample from
the main Sample Translator display.
Assign: Assigns the selected sample to a
keyboard range. This “assigned”
sample plays together with the other
“assigned” samples that make up the
Waveform. Sample keyboard range
overlaps are not permitted.
Deassign: Cancels the extension limits of the
selected sample.
Edit: Opens a page showing information
regarding the Waveform (Sample
name and type, properties, size,
pitch, Sample rate, Loop Start, Loop
End points and the Loop status).
Several parameters can be edited in
this page and other options are acti-
vated (Tuning, Normalize, Gain, Cut,
Export).
Send Sample: Activates a sample Dump process to
transfer (via MIDI) the sample to an
external device (for example, another
SK760/880 keyboard).
Abort: Escapes the Sample Translator,
erasing all the samples present, and
returns toEdit Sound.
