Sample; Smpload - Yamaha A4000 Owner's Manual

2. SAMPLE

SAMPLE allows samples to be loaded into the sampler's
memory from floppy disk, hard disk, or other media to which
they have been saved. When a sample on a SCSI disk is
selected, the sound of the sample can be directly monitored
from disk by pressing the [AUDITION] button (this function
may not work properly with some SCSI devices).
Press the [DISK] button and then the [F2] button to go to the
SAMPLE display.
1 display page is provided: SmpLoad (Sample Load).
• The capacity of the wave memory may be exceeded when loading
a number of voices. We recommend installing SIMM expansion
memory to avoid this problem.
