Sample Translator
ABOUT SAMPLE TRANSLATOR
The Edit Sound menu includes the Sample Trans-
lator command, situated in the right options col-
umn, which permits the importation and exporta-
tion of RAM Samples of various formats, and the
edit of RAM Samples to create new RAM Wave-
forms to add to the SK760/880 Wave Library.
Using the new Waveforms, it is then possible to
create new RAM
-Sounds, increasing SK's
sonic potential.
Recognized formats
Sample Translator is able to recognize the fol-
lowing sample formats:
•
Wave, Sample Vision, Sound Designer 1,
Akai, Aiff, Kurzweil.
Sample loading methods
Samples can be loaded from disk, via MIDI from
computers, samplers, etc., or dumped from ex-
ternal devices. The "Sample dump to and from
external devices" is a high speed transfer proc-
ess which works on the handshake principal.
Samples can also be loaded directly from

2. With a Rom-Sound (for example, select the
default Grand Piano Performance). This al-
lows you to enter Sample Translator and load
disk-based samples, or receive them via a
Dump from an external device.
Don't forget the Solo button!
In either case, if the current keyboard situa-
tion corresponds to two or more tracks set in
"key-play" status, you must remember to iso-
late the track with which you enter Edit Sound
by pressing the SOLO button. This is to avoid
hearing other Sounds when you are working
with the samples.
Temporary escape from Sample Translator
By pressing the ESCAPE button, you can escape
temporarily from Sample Translator, to access
other edit environments without losing current edit
data in Sample Translator, but you will not be
permitted to select a new Sound, Performance,
Style or Song.
Press the SYNTH button to return directly to the
