Loading samples

LOAD (F1)
The Load option allows you to load Samples into
the Sample Translator directly from a RAM
Sound, or from disk.
1. Loading a sample a R
This operation should be carried out with R
Sounds originating from previous Series instru-
ments (S, SX, SK760/880 Series) or from
Ram -Sounds containing a Waveform created
by Sample Translator.
1. Assign a R -Sound to a track of a Perform-
AM
ance.
It is preferable to set the instrument in Style/
RealTime mode with the keyboard mode set
to Full Keyboard and a single track selected.
If two or more tracks are selected, you can
isolate the Sound with which you enter Edit
Sound using the SOLO button.
2. Enter Edit Sound (as already explained on page
16.4 of this chapter).
3. Press F1 to enter the Sample Translator.
A dialog window is displayed informing that a
Ram-Sound has been found the associated
Waveform is ready to be loaded.

4. Press ENTER to confirm the operation, or escape
to cancel.
Confirming with Enter starts the loading proc-
ess. The time taken depends on the size of
the sample. A dialog window showing an
animated clock keeps you informed of the

samples being loaded:

Shortly after, the display shows a situation
similar to the example below, with one or more
samples which constitute the Waveform.
2. Loading disk-based samples
To load samples from disk, in practice you can
enter with any sound, including a R
because once you enter the Sample Translator,
you can override the sound assigned to the track
and listen to a sample loaded from disk. If, in-
stead, other tracks are active, you will hear these
as well. The most important point, therefore, is
to remember to isolate a track from other active
tracks with the SOLO button before starting.
