RE-SAMPLE
Pressing RE-SAMPLE shows this screen:
The RE-SAMPLE process allows you to change the sampling frequency of a sample. This can be
used to conserve memory but can also be used to 'creatively' to reduce the quality of a sound. The
parameters are:
RE-SAMPLE FREQ
RESOLUTION
QUALITY
LOW
MED
HIGH
PRESET
Pressing SET NEW FREQ will initiate the process. You will see the usual "Processing sample"
progress display followed by the PLAY/KEEP ORIGINAL/NEW/BOTH and RENAME prompt.
Respond accordingly.

In theory, you would think that the resolution parameter would enable you to re-create the sound of
older 8- or 12-bit samplers. However, the 'grungy' sound these samplers produced was as much
due to their low quality D-A convertors as the bit-rate they were sampled at. Because of the high
quality 20-bit D-A converters used on the S6000, setting a low bit-rate using the RESOLUTION
parameter may not automatically result in the 'lo-fi' effect you are after. However, selecting a low
bit resolution here AND setting the lowest RE-SAMPLE FREQ(uency) will produce a suitably grungy,
muddy, lo-fi sound. Experiment!
Version 1.21
This sets the new frequency of the sample.
You may change the 'bit' resolution here. Typically, this will be kept at
16-BIT but you may like to experiment with other settings for a 'grungier'

sound
.
There are three settings:
Least quality (i.e. transposed sounds will become aliased) but fastest
processing.
Moderate quality and relatively fast processing.
Best quality but slower processing.
This allows you to select from a variety of preset re-sampling frequencies
(e.g..: 1/2, 3/4, 1/3, 2/3, etc.).
