Sampler functions

tim: (time)

(Time) Again, you can choose the total amount of time for your new sample. This field

can be set to the nearest one-hundredth of a second, and the number of bytes and the

percentage of total memory used will be changed accordingly.

SOFT KEYS

The soft keys in this page are how you actually perform sampling. Two soft keys,

METR

and

MOFF , allow you to turn the LCD graphic PPM (at the left side of the page) on and off.

As the signal is input to the S1000, you will see the solid bar go up and down in

accordance with the level of the signal. Use these keys to "preview" before a "take", so

that you can adjust the recording level, gain and input trigger appropriately. As with all

recording processes, setting the level high will increase the final signal-to-noise ratio, but

remember that digital clipping is an extremely unpleasant effect, and once recorded,

cannot be eliminated.

Recording

To start the recording process, press the ARM button. Only two soft keys will be active

now:

Go and EXIT. The Go button can be used as a manual override for whatever start

setting you selected in the REC1 page (ie recording will start when this is pressed, rather

than when the footswitch is pressed, a MIDI note is received, or the signal goes above the

trigger level). However, normally you should wait for the S1000 to begin recording

automatically. The

EXIT button is useful as a panic button - if you suddenly notice you've

set something up wrongly, or you're about to record the wrong sound.

Once the recording process is started (or you press the

GO key), there is no way you can

stop the recording process, which will continue inexorably till it reaches the end of the

selected recording time. As the signal is input, a graph of the logarithmic value (decibel

value) of the signal level versus time is displayed.

Use the :

ENT/PLAY button to replay your recorded sample. The pitch and velocity are

determined in the MIDI TRAN page (default C3, velocity 127). If you have too much

blank time at the end - don't worry, you can trim this off. Likewise, if you pushed the

button too early, but you still have all your sample, you can trim off the unwanted

beginning later on. If you're not satisfied with your sample, re-record it, otherwise:

NOW SAVE YOUR SAMPLE TO DISK!

Remember Murphy's Law: "Anything that can go wrong, will". (The Law of Murphy the

Elder states: "Things that cannot go wrong, will".) Once you've made that perfect take,

there will be a power cut, someone will trip over a cable, or you'll press the wrong button

(we all do at one time or another - no-one's perfect). Seriously, though, saving raw

samples to disk as soon as you've made them is good standard operating procedure - you

lose less sleep that way. Also, if you make a mistake in the editing process, you can go

back to where you started from.

Press the ~ button. If you already have a blank formatted disk (prepared for use with the

S1000) insert it, otherwise format the disk by inserting a new disk and pressing

FORM.

Choose either

HIGH or LOW density format. When formatting is finished, you can carry on.
