Midi Sample Dumps - Akai S3000XL User Manual

MIDI SAMPLE DUMPS

Samples can be transferred between the S3000XL and other samplers via MIDI and this
is done in the EXCL page:
To perform a MIDI data dump, you must make a MIDI loop (MIDI OUT of the S3000XL
connected to MIDI IN of the other sampler, and vice versa). This is necessary because of
the way in which MIDI sample dumps are performed (in computer terms, a handshake
protocol with error detection/correction).
Though the S3000XL is a 16-bit sampler, it can accept samples from other samplers,
including those from other manufacturers which use a lower bit resolution. If transmitting
to another sampler which uses fewer bits, the S3000XL simply truncates the low bits
during the transfer. Instead of another sampler, samples can be transmitted to and
accepted from other devices (such as computers) which are capable of storing and/or
editing sample data with the appropriate sample editing software. However, in this section
we will always refer to the other device as a 'sampler'. The fields are as follows:
S3000XL Operator's Manual
This does not refer to a MIDI channel, but a 'logical
channel' used in System Exclusive protocol. Both samplers
must be set to the same channel for transfer to take place.
This parameter refers to what will actually be transmitted
over MIDI. This can be
,
The meanings of these values should be self-explanatory.
Two protocols for sample transfer are available.
conforms to the MIDI sample dump standard and will
dump only samples across and
of the MIDI sample dump standard which will dump
everything including loop and other data. Use the
setting only if you are transferring data between two
S3000XL-compatible machines.
If you have selected
parameter allows you to specify the program which will be
transmitted.
If you have selected
parameter allows you to specify the sample which will be
transmitted.
You can override the default sample number (based on
the order in which samples appear in the S3000XL's
memory) with this parameter.
