Place Sample

Place Sample

After sampling, a sample is automatically assigned to its own voice. This function allows you to place the voice (and the sample) If you chose to keep it and now want to place it, or if you placed the sample and later want to place it somewhere else.

v To Place a Sample:

1.Press the Sample Manage key. The LED illuminates and the main screen appears.

2.Select the sample to be placed using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC keys, or the numeric keypad.

3.Press the Place function key (F4). The screen shown above appears.

4.The sample can also be assigned a group number at this stage as a convenience. Use the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys to change the group number if desired.

5.Set the Original Key and the High and Low keys for the voice. Use the Cursor keys or function keys to select the parameter and the INC/DEC keys, your MIDI keyboard or the Data Entry Control to change the key range.

6.Press Place to confirm placement or Exit to cancel the operation.

O Hot Tip! To save all the samples in a bank in EIIIx format, press and hold the decimal point key while you press the Save key. The display will offer you the option to save in these alternate formats. Select the desired format using the function keys.

• Note that only samples are transferred, not the presets.

Export Sample

Export Sample

This function allows you to export a single sample as a self-contained bank in any of four different sample formats. The formats are:

EIIIx

Compatible with EIIIx samplers

Emulator IV

Native format of all EOS based Emulators

WAVE

Microsoft Windows .WAV file format (floppy export only)

AIFF

Apple sound file format (floppy export only)

Suppose you were experimenting and modified a sample using the sample edit module. The sample data is permanently changed. You want to keep the modified sample, but if you save the bank, the original sample will be lost. Using this function, you can export the modified sample to a new bank and have both!

v To Export a Sample:

1.Press the Sample Manage key. The LED illuminates and the main screen appears.

2.Select the sample to be exported using the Data Entry Control, INC/ DEC keys, or the numeric keypad.

3.Press the Export function key (F5). The screen shown above appears.

4.Select the destination drive, folder and bank using the cursor keys and Data Entry Control.WAVE and AIFF formats can ONLY be exported to floppy disk. You cannot write into an existing bank without erasing it. Usually you will choose an empty bank.

5.Select the format for the samples. Press F2 for EIIIx, F3 for EIV (EOS),

F4 for WAVE, or F5 for AIFF format.

6.Press OK to export the sample or Cancel to cancel the operation.

O Tip: Entering the Sample Edit module resets the EOS sound engine. You can use this feature as a kind of “Panic Button” to turn off stuck MIDI notes or reset other screens. You could even set an Assignable Key to perform this function.

Sample Edit

The Sample Edit menu allows you to modify the actual sample data in order to perform functions such as: sample looping, sample truncation and splicing, equalization, time compression, sample rate conversion and many others. In the Sample Edit module we are working with the most basic element of the EOS hierarchy, the sample. It is important to note that every one of these functions except basic looping PERMANENTLY modifies the sample data. If you must maintain an original version of the sample, make a copy of the sample and edit that preserving the original.

Any sample in the bank can be selected from the main Sample Edit screen (shown above) using the data entry control, INC/DEC keys or numeric keypad.

The Sample Edit menu contains six main submenus:

Utilities. Cut, Copy, Paste, Truncation and Taper

Tools 1. Looping Controls, Loop Type, Digital Tuning, Sample Rate Conversion, and Sample Calculator

Tools 2. DC Filter, Swap Left and Right channels, Stereo<->Mono conversion, Reverse Sample, and Sample Integrity

Tools 3. Gain Change, Compressor, Parametric EQ, FIR (Phase Linear) filter, and Aphex Aural Exciter

Tools 4. Transform Multiplication, Doppler/Pan, Time Compression/ Expansion, Pitch Change, Bit Converter, and Beat Munger

UNDO! Allows you to undo any sample editing process.

Background: The Scrub Wheel

Background: The Scrub Wheel

The Scrub Wheel is a great function that allows you to use the controller's pitch wheel in many Sample Edit functions to quickly move through a sound, similar in concept to rocking the reels of a reel-to-reel tape recorder. The scrub wheel makes it easy to locate a particular section of a sound because you are able to hear the sound as you move through it.

To use the scrub wheel, move the pitch wheel of your MIDI keyboard while in a Sample Edit function such as Truncation or Looping. If the pitch wheel is moved slightly forward, the sound will play slowly through its length. If the wheel is pushed forward all the way, the sound will play through faster. If the wheel is moved backwards (towards you) the sound will play backwards through the sound. The scrub wheel operates like the accelerator on your car: the harder you press it, the faster it goes.
