Confused? An example should help. Suppose you load three waves into memory; the

first has three multi-samples, the second has five multi-samples, and the third, two

multi-samples. With the group of three multi-samples, each sample is called WAVEO1

but the three samples reserve spaces WAVE01-WAVE03. With the next group of five

multi-samples, each sample is called WAVEO4; since samples WAVE04-WAVE08 are

reserved by the five multi-samples, the next group of wavesamples is called WAVE09.

6.3c SDS Audition

If you call up the Edit menu after loading a sample, the buffer will contain a special

program called SDS Audition. This provides a default patch that has the just-sampled

wave loaded into Oscillators 1 and 2 so that you can listen to the patch and decide

whether the sampling process was successful.

6.3d Scanning the Sample Directory `

Once the DPM V3 contains samples, Yoing past the SDS Load page calls up the Sam-

ple Dir (Directory) page. The only variable parameter is the Sample #. This catalogs

each sample in the DPM V3, and shows the associated Wave name and size in bytes.

6.3e Deleting Samples

Because samples are loaded into battery-backed RAM, it is necessary to delete a sam-

ple to create more room for new samples. The next page past the sample directory

lets you choose samples for deletion.

Press the Right Arrow button and select the desired sample. The display will show the

associated Wave name, size in Kbytes, and keyboard range. Continuing to scroll past

the last sample chooses All if you want to delete all samples. After choosing the sam-

ple to be erased, press Exec.

To delete all samples in a multi-sample, press the Right Arrow button again and the

Wave name (upper line) will flash. Choose the desired wave and press Exec to delete.

6.3.f Transmitting Samples

Samples can be transmitted from the DPM V3 to other SDS-compatible devices. This

page comes after the Delete page. The protocol is the same as deleting samples, ex-

cept that when you press Exec, the sample is sent over MIDI instead of deleted.

6.4 ALTERNATE TUNING TABLES

The subject of alternate tunings is a fascinating one that's steeped in history. The

even-tempered scale that is almost universally used in western music is a comparative-

ly recent invention; prior to that, other types of tuning predominated, and non-even-

tempered scales are still used in many parts of the world.
