Importing Samples from a Computer as .wav Files
A second way to add samples to the 3rd Wave is to load them from your
computer. The les must be monophonic .wav les.
When import a .wav le, the 3rd Wave will automatically convert it to 16-bit
format with the option to lower the bit depth when you assign it to a slot. It will read
and import sample rates ranging from 48 kHz down to 10 kHz.
To import a sample from your computer as a .wav le:
1. Connect the 3rd Wave to your computer using the USB connector on
the back of the synth. Once connected, the 3rd Wave will show up on
your computer desktop as an external drive called “thirdwave.”
2. Open the “audio” folder on the 3rd Wave. Make sure there are no
existing les in the folder. If there are les in the folder, remove them
before adding new ones.
3. Copy the sample from your computer into the “audio” folder on the 3rd
Wave.
4. Press the global button and use soft knob 1 to scroll to the manage
sample memory setting.
5. Turn soft knob 2 to select go.
6. In the sample memory screen, press soft button 1 (new). The new
sample recording screen appears.
7. Press soft button 4 (right arrow) to see more options.
8. In the screen that appears, press soft button 2 (load file). The name of
the le that you copied appears in the screen. Press soft button 4 (ok) to
load the le.
9. Press soft button 2 (play) to hear the sample you have captured.
10. Once the sample is captured, you can trim its length by turning soft
knob 1 (start) to adjust the start point and soft knob 2 (end) to adjust
the end point. The start and end points are shown on the graph with
blue lines.
11. If you are happy with the sample, press soft button 3 (save) to navigate
to the save sample screen. Refer to “Saving and Assigning Samples to
a Slot” on page 36 for details on the various settings you will nd
there.
