3.
Play with a
new
"voice tone"
program
using
El
(46)~E),4 (75)
keys
on
the
keyboard.
*
This
example uses 4 banks
considering the
average
tone range
of
human
voice.
Next,
try
recording
samples
of
a wider tone
range, using
8
all
banks.
If
you
find
the difference
in
the
tone range
between maie and female
voices,
they are
of
course
possible
to
be
recorded.
*
With "ALL2"
file,
you can
record
and
immediately
play
as above.
If
you
create
a
multi-sampled
program
from
scratch,
it
requires
that
various
parameter settings—
each bank
should
be
assigned
with, at
leastthe
same
program
number and
MIDI
channel,
individual
key ranges
and
transpositions.
Transposition
for
Multi-sample
Programs
When
a
sample
is
made,
its
original
pitch
is
automatically assigned
to
C3
(60).
Therefore,
for
example
if
you have
made
a
sample
at
a
pitch
of
C2
and
play
it
using
C2
on
the
keyboard,
it
will
be
played
at
a
pitch of
CI
(without
tranposition). In
this
case,
if
the transposition
value should be
set
to
+12
so
that
you
can
play
the
sample
at
C2
using
C2
on
the
keyboard.
In the
same
way,
it
is
necessary with multi-sampling
for
each sample
to
be
assigned
to the appropriate
keyboard
position
using
TRANSPOSE
parameter
to
be
played
in
its
original
pitch.
The
TRANSPOSE
value
can be determined by
the difference
between
the
original pitch
and
the pitch
of
C3.

ALL3
File
This
contains a multi-timbral
program
to
be
controlled
by a
sequencer,
etc.
A
multi-timbral
program
is
enabled
by
8 separate
MIDI
channels
and
8
different
samples
assigned
to
individual banks.
If
you
make
a
drum
part
assigning percussion
samples
to
several
banks,
there
may
be cases
where
those banks'
MIDI
channels should be
matched
to
receive
a
common
drum-part sequence
on
a
specific
charmel.

Example:
Using
the
S01
as
a
multi-timbral
sound
module
When
making
an ensemble
on
the
S01
using
sequence
data
as follows:
MIDI
channel:
1;
piano
2;
bass
3; flute
1
Load
"ALL3"
file
into the
S01
2.
Load
(or actually
record)
a "piano"
sample
into
bank
1
,
a "bass" sample
into
bank2,
and
a
"flute"
sample
into
bank
3.
3. Start
sequencing
from
the
sequencer,
and each sample
will
begin playback
receiving the
sequence
data
on
the
same
channel
as
assigned
to
its
bank.
*
With "ALL3"
file,
you can
immediately
play
back
the
sequence
if
appropriate
tone
samples
have
loaded.
If
you
create
a
multi-timbral
program,
it
is
required
that
each bank
should
be
assigned
with, at least
the
same
program
number and
a
separate
MIDI
channel.
When
several
banks needs
to
receive the
same
channel
information, of
course
their
MIDI channels should
be matched.
