PERFORMING A RE-SAMPLE

sample the original to three quarters or two thirds the original frequency. Alternatively, set
a value of your choosing in the

You can use the re-sampling facility to save on memory. In the studio where you have
time to load in new sounds this may not be so crucial but on-stage, you ideally need to

there will be occasions where you need to squeeze that little bit more out of the samplers
internal memory. In this respect, the re-sampling functions are ideal. In fact, given that
listening conditions at a gig are nowhere near as critical as in the studio, you could afford
to make special 'gig disks' where the bandwidth is more limited than it could be to save
even more space in your memory.
