Korg EXB-SMPL Owner's Manual page 5

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Korg EXB-SMPL sampling
upgrade. In order to enjoy long and trouble-free use, please
read this owner's manual carefully.
Features of this product
The EXB-SMPL upgrade provides the same 48 kHz 16-bit
linear mono/stereo sampler functionality as the award-
winning TRITON-series. Powerful editing features include
Time Slice, Time Stretch, Crossfade Looping and more, all
with graphic representation of your waveform data.
The EXB-SMPL comes with 16 Mbytes of sample memory
allowing approximately 2 minutes 54 seconds of mono
sampling. By adding 72 pin SIMM modules you can expand
the memory to a maximum of 64Mbytes (using two 32
Mbyte SIMM modules).
Using the included SCSI connector you can access data
stored on CD-ROM and other media, with support for stereo
or mono AIFF files, Windows WAVE files, and AKAI
S1000/S3000 sample data. Internal sampling data can also
be exported in AIFF and WAVE format.
For details on the specifications, use, and functionality of the
EXB-SMPL, refer to the operation manual of the device into
which it is being installed.
Installing the EXB-SMPL
For details on installing the EXB-SMPL and verifying that it
has been installed correctly, refer to the operation manual of
the device into which it is being installed.
If you have any questions, please contact Korg distributor.
External SCSI device connections and
settings
Up to seven external SCSI devices can be connected via a
SCSI cable.
The EXB-SMPL uses a D-Sub half-pitch 50 pin connector
format, but since the external SCSI device to be connected
may have varying types of connector, refer to the operation
manual of your external SCSI device to check the connector
type, and purchase the appropriate type of SCSI cable.
It is not possible to connect the EXB-SMPL connector to
your computer and use a SCSI device (such as a hard disk
or CD-ROM drive) that is installed in the computer.
1 Turn off the power of the instrument (in which the EXB-
SMPL is installed) and of your external SCSI device.
Be sure to turn off the power of the instrument and the
external SCSI device before you connect or disconnect
SCSI cables or change the ID number of the external
SCSI device.
If the power of the instrument or the external SCSI device
is on when you connect or disconnect SCSI cables or
change the ID number of the external SCSI device, the
instrument or the external SCSI device may malfunction,
or data may be lost.
2 On the external SCSI device, set the ID number (0–6).
If you are connecting two or more external SCSI devices (in
a "daisy-chain"), set each external SCSI device to a different
ID number so that they can be distinguished.
For details on setting the ID number, refer to the owner's
manual for your external SCSI device.
If you set two or more external SCSI devices to the same
ID number, malfunctions or loss of data may result.
3 Connect the SCSI connector of the instrument to the
SCSI connector of the external SCSI device.
Pay attention to the orientation of the cable connector, and
make connections correctly. If the cable connector has a
lock (thumb-screw or tab), be sure it is fastened securely.
If you connect two or more external SCSI devices (in a
"daisy-chain"), be sure that the total length of the
connection cables does not exceed 3 meters.
4 Attach a terminator (terminating resistor) to the external
SCSI device so that the connection is terminated.
If two or more external SCSI devices are connected (in a
"daisy-chain"), terminate the device that is furthest from
the instrument in which the EXB-SMPL is installed.
Even if only one external SCSI device is connected, it
must be terminated.
Termination can be done either by attaching a terminator
to the external SCSI device or by switching on a
terminator built into the external SCSI device. Refer to
the operation manual for your SCSI device.
Total SCSI cable length must be 3 meters or less

5 Turn on the power of the external SCSI device(s), and
then turn on the power of the instrument (in which the
EXB-SMPL is installed).
The power must be turned on in the order of external
SCSI device © instrument.
The power must be turned off in the order of instrument
© external SCSI device.
Never turn off the power while the external SCSI device is
being accessed (e.g., while the LED of the external SCSI
device is lit).
6 By operating the device in which the EXB-SMPL is
installed, verify that the connected external SCSI device
is displayed.
For details on how to recognize an external SCSI device,
refer to the operation manual of the device in which the
EXB-SMPL is installed.
Using an external SCSI device
Refer to the owner's manual of the instrument for details on
formatting an external SCSI device such as a hard disk, and
on loading and saving data.
