New functions in version 2.0
9. Compatibility with WAV files
This functionality is applicable to Trinitys which have a PBS–TRI
installed.
Data can be loaded from a WAVE format file, which is a PCM data file
format widely used by personal computers. Files with an extension of
.WAV will be treated as WAVE format files.
The loading procedure is the same as described in the PBS–TRI User’s
Guide p.7 “Loading AIFF file”. Please refer to the User’s Guide for the
detailed directions to load the file.
The icon for WAVE format files is shown at the right.
Supported chunks
During loading, the Trinity will refer only the Format Chunk and the
Data Chunk. All other chunks will be ignored.
The following limitations exist on parameters within the Format
Chunk.
• Microsoft PCM format is the only format supported.
• Only 1 channel (mono) is supported.
• Only 16 or fewer bits per sample are supported. If the data is 8 bits
or less, it will be loaded as 16 bit data with the lower 8 bits fixed at 0.
10. Free Time display has been added
This functionality is applicable to Trinitys which have the HDR–TRI
installed.
After the page menu command Delete Unused Sound has been executed
in Disk mode “P1-4 Audio Utility”, the “free time” (remaining time
available for recording) had been displayed only if all sounds unused by
a .SNG file were actually deleted. However, the “No unused Sounds
found” message now displays the free time even if the delete command
is not performed.
11. Sequencer mode pause function (implemented in Ver. 1.3.3)
When Step Recording is selected from the page menu in P5 of the
Sequencer mode to perform step recording, pressing the [PAUSE] button
will light the [PAUSE] button’s LED. During this time, recording will
not take place. Since the location does not change, it provides a convenient
way to audition the sound that you wish to record next.
12. Enable Beep is now backed up (implemented in Ver. 1.3.3)
When the Global mode’s Enable Beep setting is checked and the power
is turned off, the setting will now be maintained. However, this setting
will not be saved as a parameter to floppy disk or transmitted via MIDI.
