■ The way that the waveform is read out of memory and
processed before conversion to analog form is af­
fected by a number of parameters that give you fine
editing control over the sound. These include: LO O P
ON/OFF, L O O P S T A R T & LENGTH, S O U N D ST A R T
& LENGTH, ORG/TOP, TR/NT, and so on. (For
details on these parameters see page 3 9 - . )
Note that the loop on/off parameter is set to "o n " for
almost all of the sounds on the supplied disk.
• Example: L O O P ON/OFF, LO O P S T A R T & LEN G T H
parameters
i) With loop off:
The data is read only once; it is not repeated.
■ A s we have described, the DSS-1 sound sources are
produced by several waveforms assigned to par­
ticular portions of the keyboard and the way that
these waveforms are read from memory is deter­
mined by a number of parameters. We use the term
"multisound" to refer to the complete sound source
produced by the D S S -1 .
We use the term "sound" to refer to each one of the
waveforms assigned to the keyboard.
The term "multisound parameters" refers to the
parameters which control how the waveform data is
read from memory. To repeat, the "multisound"
sound sources of the DSS-1 comprise the sounds
assigned to the keyboard and the multisound para­
meters which control the way they are retrieved.
• D S S -t sound sources (2)
Parameters that control the retrieval of digital
waveform data:
LOOP ON/OFF, LOOP START & LENGTH
SO U N D START & LENGTH
ORG/TOP, TR/NT
TUNE/LEVEL/fc
ii) With loop on:
The data is read repeatedly according to the
values specified in the LOOP START &
START
This portion of the waveform data is read
repeatedly.
