ESI Operation Manual
• Length: This allows you to select the amount of sampling
(recording) time. The maximum available length depends on the
amount of memory available and the sampling rate.
5. Select page three by pressing the right cursor. Page three shows
the following parameters:
Truncate:
Normalize:
Placement:
• Auto Truncate: automatically truncates the start, end, or both start
and end as soon as the sample is taken. Selecting Off disables auto-
truncation.
• Auto Normalize: increases the amplitude of a sound until the peak
amplitude of the loudest sample reaches 100% of full scale. If either
Absolute or Relative is selected this is done automatically after the
sample is taken. Selecting Off disables auto-normalization. Relative
increases the amplitude of stereo samples until the peak sample of
either the left or right sample reaches 100% of full level. The relative
amplitudes of the left or right samples remain intact. Selecting
absolute will increase the amplitude of both the left and right
samples to full level. When sampling in mono, selecting absolute or
relative makes no difference.
• Auto Placement: selects the transposition range in which new
samples will be placed. For example, selecting a range of 24 keys
places the next sample over a 24 key range with the original pitch in
the center of that range. Selecting white keys places each new
sample on the next white key, which is useful for sound effects.
Sample Placement Rule - ESI keeps adding samples until the next
one won't fit on a 5 octave keyboard - then it starts a new preset.
The only exception is "All Keys", which creates a new preset for
each sample and places the sample over the entire 88 note range.
6. Select page four by pressing the right cursor. Page four shows the
monitor through while sampling select screen.

• Monitor Through While Sampling: Allows you to monitor through
the main outputs while sampling is occurring.
