Note: Because the crossfade loop function requires that you create a new
sample, if the S950 already has a memory full of samples, this may not always
be possible and the display will tell you that memory space is full. If this
occurs, delete some samples (ensuring that they hove first been saved to
disk, If necessary! so that you make room for the new crossfade loop sample.
The field marked MEM on Page 09 will tell you how much memory the S950 has
available for the creation of a new sample.
The next page displays:
>10
This page allows you to make economical use of the S950 memory. The top line
allows you to resample the sound at half the original bandwidth and this will
free up more memory although the tonal qualities of the sound may suffer. To
use this function, simply move the cursor to the ENT field using 'cursor >'
and hit ENT - after a short pause, the sample will be available but at half
its original bandwidth.
The discard function is similarly executed. Move the cursor to its ENT field
using the 'cursor >' button and hit ENT. Anything you have edited out of the
sound in Pages 06 and 07 will be erased from memory, thereby freeing up more
memory space.

retrieving the original sample after they have been carried out so it would
be wise to save that sample to disk before using this function in case the
results are not satisfactory.
The next few pages allows you to merge two samples together to create
interesting composite sounds.
Moving to the next page using the 'page down' buttons, the display will read:
The top line of the display allows you to select which sample in the S950
memory is going to be used as the second sample in the splice whilst the
bottom line allows you to name the new sample that will contain both samples
- like the crossfade looping function, splice crossfade. requires that you
create a new sample so make sure you have enough free memory in the S950.
To select the second sample in the crossfade splice, move the cursor to the
SAMPLE 2 field using the 'cursor >' button and scroll through the samples
using the CONTROL knob. When you have chosen your second sample, move to the
NEW SAMPLE field and name the new sample in the usual way.
