Sampling Overview
About sampling on the OASYS
TheOASYScansampleexternalaudiofromtheanalog
orS/P DIFinputs,at48 kHz16‐bitresolution,inmono
orstereo.YoucanrecordsamplesintoRAM,orsample

Youcanalsodigitallyresamplethecompletesoundof

Finally,youcanalsosample(or“rip”)directlyfroman
audioCD,inthedigitaldomain.

Sampling and RAM
TheOASYScomeswith1GBofRAMpre‐installed,
whichcanbeexpandedupto2GBwithauser‐

YoucanchoosewhichEXsareloaded,ifany,byusing
theExpansionSampleSetupmenucommand,onthe
