or sample file. Samples consist of the actual waveform
data, and parameters that specify how the data will be
played back, such as Start, Loop Start, and End
Address. Samples can be used in multisamples and
drum kits.
The M3 can hold a maximum of 4,000 samples in its
internal memory.
The M3 can share a single waveform among multiple
samples. This allows you to create multiple samples
with different playback addresses from the same
waveform without wasting internal memory. For
example, suppose that you have waveform data that
records a voice saying "One-Two-Three." This single
piece of waveform data could be shared by three
samples, with the playback of sample A producing
"One-Two-Three," sample B producing "One-Two,"
and sample C producing "Two-Three."
For details, please see "Copy" on page 353 of the
Parameter Guide.
Multisamples
Multisamples lay out one or more Samples across the
keyboard. For instance, a very simple guitar
Multisample might have six Samples–one for each
string.
Each Sample is contained in an Index, which includes
parameters for the key range, original Sample pitch,
tuning, level, and so on.
Multisamples can have up to 128 Indexes.
Using multisamples
When sampling an instrument that is able to produce a
wide range of pitches, such as a piano, recording just
one sample and applying it (playing it back) over the
entire pitch range will not produce a natural-sounding
result. By using a multisample you can record separate
samples for each pitch range, and assign these samples
to their respective pitch ranges to avoid any unnatural
sounds during playback.
All of the instrumental sounds in the M3's internal
preset multisamples are constructed in this way. For
example, you might record one sample per octave, and
assign each of these samples to an index (keyboard
area).
By assigning multiple samples such as phrase samples
or rhythm loops to a multisample and arranging them
across the keyboard, you can play multiple samples
simultaneously. You can assign different phrases to
each key or pad. Alternatively, these samples could be
assigned at one-octave intervals, and played as phrase
variations with different playback pitches.
The M3 can hold a maximum of 1,000 multisamples in
its internal memory.
A multisample can be selected as the oscillator for a
program, and played as a program. In a combination,
they can be combined with preset programs. They can
be used with the KARMA function to produce
interesting results (for example, by using the KARMA
function to automatically play sound effects or spoken
samples).

In Sampling mode, there is no Compare function that
lets you return to the state prior to editing.
If you want to preserve the state prior to editing, use a
function such as Copy Sample or Copy MS to copy the
multisample or sample before you begin editing. For
details, please see "Copy Sample" on page 346 of the
Parameter Guide, and "Copy MS (Copy Multisample)"
on page 348 of the Parameter Guide.
In some of the menu commands on the Sample Edit
and Loop Edit pages, you can execute with the
"Overwrite" option unchecked in the dialog box, so
that the sample data prior to editing will be preserved.
