Bank 7 Samplers; Bank 7 Samplers - Sme Only - Lexicon LEXICON480LV4 Owner's Manual

Bank 7 Samplers

There are three types of non-SME samplers. They all
record in multiples of 1.36 seconds at 48 kHz (1.48
seconds at 44.1 kHz). The presets provide level-trig-
gered capturing from the left input only, referenced to
-24 dB on the LARC level indicators. MARK is set to
save five ms of pre-trigger audio for a fast fade-up,
except for the Drum percussion samplers, where it is
set to 0, or "MARK THE HEAD."
Stereo 3S - Bank 7, Program 1
This progam records and overdubs 2.7 seconds of
phase-locked stereo at 48 kHz. It features overdubbing
of the entire sample. The first capture may use any
record mode. The overdub always uses the IMMEDI-
ATE mode. This program must be run in the 480L's
SINGLE configuration.
Mono 6S - Bank 7, Program 2
This program records and overdubs 5.4 seconds at 48
kHz, from the left input only. It features overdubbing of
the entire sample. The first capture may use any record
mode. The overdub always uses the IMMEDIATE
mode. This program must be run in the 480L's SINGLE
configuration.
Mono 3S - Bank 7, Program 3
This is similar to program 2, except that it is small
enough to run in any of the 480L's configurations (not
just SINGLE).
Dual Rate Change - Bank 7, Program 4
This program features two independent rate-changing
samplers. You may vary the pitch while playing, but
avoid trying to cross the pitch up/pitch down boundary.
There are two independent editing pages to design the
samples, and play pages that permit you to trigger both
samples simultaneously. Level retriggering is always
active, after a short fixed holdoff.
Mono Forward/Reverse - Bank 7, Program 5
This program can play a sample reversed, either alone,
or with forward play. It records and triggers from the left
input only, but pans the two playback voices between
left and right. The playback timing relationship may be
shifted so that either voice precedes the other, or they
may play simulaneously. Level retriggering is not avail-
able in this program.
Bank 7: the Sampler Programs
Drum Samplers
Programs 6, 7, and 8 in Bank 7 are identical to the
samplers described above, except that MARK and
FADE TYPE have been set for percussion instead of
FAST FADE UP. This ensures that the initial attack of
a percussive sample is not dulled in a fade up.
Bank 7 Samplers – SME Only
Stereo Rate Change/Overdub - Bank 7, Program 9
The Stereo SME sampler records and overdubs 10.9
seconds of phase-locked stereo audio at 48 kHz from
the left and right inputs, and plays back through the
corresponding output channels. It provides level-trig-
gered capturing from the left input only, referenced to
the LARC level indicators. MARK is set to save two ms
of pre-trigger audio for a fast fade-up.
Playback can be varied continuously from -100% (X1
reverse) through 0 (stopped) to +199% (just under X2
forward). The rate can be varied continuously during
playback. Due to computational limits, some reverse
rates introduce audible clicks during playback. -100%
and the rates near it are free of noise; all positive rates
are free of noise.
In the SME samplers the FORWARD TIME parameter
slider is replaced by TAIL TRIM. The user marks the
HEAD and TAIL points of the sample; the 480L calcu-
lates the play time. These two edit points are inter-
changed for reverse playback. The 480L will play back
the edit accurately regardless of rate variations unless
the rate crosses the forward/reverse boundary at 0%.
Mono Rate Change/Overdub - Bank 7, Program 0
The Mono SME sampler records and overdubs 21.8
seconds of audio at 48 kHz from the left input, and
plays it back through both left and right outputs.
Capturing is set identically to the stereo programs.
Playback can be varied continuously from -200% (X2
reverse) through 0 (stopped) to +199% (just under X2
forward). The rate can be varied continuously during
playback. All rates are free of any clicks.
