Loading Folders
If you select a folder in the File parameter and press "DO IT," the Load Folder window
appears, as shown below.
Multiple files in the selected folder can be loaded simultaneously.
Set the "Load" and "Replace same sample" parameters as required, and then press
"LOAD," or press "CLEAR" to clear the entire memory before loading.
The "Load" parameter options are as follows: "SAMPLES" loads all Samples in the
specified folder. "PROGS+SAMPLES" loads all Programs and Samples in the specified
folder. "MULTIS+PROGS+SAMPLES" loads all Multis, Programs, and Samples in the
specified folder. "ALL FILES" loads all files in the specified folder.
The "Replace same sample" parameter options are as follows: "YES" overwrites Sam-
ples with the same name that are already loaded. "NO (FASTER)" loads only the Sam-
ples that are not already loaded.
In addition to WAV files, the Z8 can load files created for the following instruments:
Manufacturer/Model
AKAI S1000
AKAI S3000
AKAI S5000 & S6000
Emu EIII
These files can be loaded using the same procedure as for Z8 files.
When Samples that were created for other instruments are loaded, differences may be
heard in the sound output. This is due to the different designs and capabilities of the
instruments that the sounds were created for. Practical differences arise due to the use of
different looping techniques, filter types, the range and types of FX available, and sound
output assignments that are not supported.
More file types will be supported in the near future.
