will now use the selected drive.
The Audition button allows you to play the currently selected sample, at
its original pitch, directly from the front panel without having to connect
a keyboard or other controller. (The current sample is selected in the
Digital Processing module.) When you are in the Load Sample
submodule, the Audition button allows you to preview samples directly
off the hard disk without having to first load them.
Note: If you are auditioning from the current RAM bank you hear the audition
in stereo. If you are auditioning from the disk, you hear the audition in mono.
When Trigger Mode is activated, the buttons of the ten key pad become
sound trigger buttons which can access any ten notes in the current
preset. This allows the ESI to be used as a stand-alone sample playback
unit. In Trigger Mode, the LED next to the trigger button illuminates and
all ESI functions operate normally, except that the ten key pad is now
used exclusively for triggering sounds.
The Trigger Buttons are programmed in the Master/Global module,
Special (8), Trigger Buttons (7).
