Lexicon 480L Owner's Manual
Introduction
The 480L has a number of sampling programs, each
with different features and capabilities. The optional
Sampling Memory Expander (SME) board can be
inserted into the fourth card slot in the 480L, providing
10.9 seconds of true phase-locked stereo sampling
time, or 21.8 seconds of mono sampling time at a
48kHz sampling rate.
As with all 480L programs, any sampling program can
be loaded into either machine. This leaves the other
machine free to process signals independently, or in
conjunction with the sampling program, as in the fol-
lowing illustrations.
Programs 1-8 in Bank 7 do not require the SME option.
They are:
Program Sampling Time
# Name @ 48kHz
1 Stereo 3S 2.7 Sec.
2 Mono 6S 5.4 Sec.
3 Mono 3S 2.7 Sec.
4 Dual Rate Change 2 x 1.4 Sec.
5 Mono Fwd & Rev 1.4 Sec.
6 Stereo 3Sec Drum 2.7 Sec.
7 Dual Rate Change Drum 2 x 1.4 Sec.
8 Mono Fwd/Rev Drum 1.4 Sec.
Programs 9 and 0 in Bank 7 require the SME card.
9 Stereo Rate Change 10S 10.9 Sec.
0 Mono Rate Change 20S 21.8 Sec.
Note: All samplers record slightly longer times when
the 480L sampling rate is set to 44.1 kHz.
