Version 2 System Software
Major Features in Version 2
The major changes to the System software for Version 2 pertain to the sampling option:
There’s an enhanced sample editor, with graphic waveform display, cut/copy/paste sample
editing, non-real time DSP functions, and numerous miscellaneous improvements.
Use the new Sample Mode page for recording and auditing samples. This page is reached
with the Sample soft button in Master mode, or by pressing the MIDI mode button while in
the Keymap Editor.
You can read samples of the following formats from floppy and/or SCSI disks:
Ensoniq® EPS and EPS-16 Plus floppy and SCSI disks (and disks for similarly-formatted
instruments), including ASR-10 “Ensoniq” format files;
Akai® S900, S950, and S1000 series floppy and SCSI disks (and disks for similarly-formatted
instruments);
Roland® S750 and S770 SCSI disks;
CD-ROM sample libraries.
If you’re loading these samples from floppy disks, Chapter 13 of the Musician’s Guide will tell
you most of what you need to know to load these samples. See
Reading Samples
on page 2-29 for
information about loading these samples via SCSI.
