Chapter 5 Ð Sampling; Selecting The Sampling Configuration; Recording A Sample - Alesis GT Reference Manual

CHAPTER 5 Ð SAMPLING
The QuadraVerb GT can record an audio sample of up to 1.55 seconds. During
playback, the sample start and length times can be altered for special effects or to
trim the playback of the sample to the actual start point of the sound. The
sample can also be played back in its entirety (one shot) or continuously
repeated (looping). Several external sources can trigger the sample, including
an incoming audio source, MIDI note on, note off, and note number/pitch
message, which allows the sample to be played back from a MIDI keyboard.
CAUTION: A sample or edited version of a sample cannot be saved either
internally or via MIDI and will remain in memory only as long as the power
remains on. If you sample something you do not want to lose, record it on
some other medium, such as a cassette or DAT recorder, before shutting off
power to the QuadraVerb GT. Any time that you change configurations or
programs you will lose your sample.

5.1 SELECTING THE SAMPLING CONFIGURATION

Configuration 8 is used for sampling. All sampling parameters are
accessed through the DELAY module (although the EQ button is used for
triggering and stopping sample playback).
To select this configuration:
1. Press the CONFIG button.
2. Press the UP VALUE button until the display reads:

5.2 RECORDING A SAMPLE

There are two ways to record a sample. In the first (the easiest way to get
a good sample), the QuadraVerb GT waits for the incoming audio to
trigger recording. With the second method, pressing the front panel
BYPASS button initiates recording.
