SAMPLE MODULE

1 - VU MODE
This function sets the proper level for sounds being recorded into the Emulator II.
1. Activating the SAMPLE module automatically puts the Emulator II in VU mode
(SAMPLE 1). (If you select another SAMPLE function at some point, entering the
data for that function usually returns you automatically to VU mode.) The display
shows:
Voice V01 +00dB
| | | |
There may or may not be some moving vertical bars in the display’s lower line.
2. Play the sound to be sampled, which can be monitored from the Emulator II MIX
OUT jack. Note the moving bar display in the lower line; louder signals will kick
the bars further over to the right. If the meter hardly moves at all, you need more
preamp gain (see SAMPLE 3). The Emulator II’s VU meter is a “peak hold” type
that briefly “holds” the highest level attained.
3. If the meter bar hits the extreme right hand side, the Emulator II is being
overloaded. Adjust the SAMPLE GAIN control so that peaks are below this
overload point. Generally, you will want to sample at the highest possible level
short of overload.
2 - DEFINE VOICE
The Emulator II default assignment places the sampled sound on C2 (the sample’s
original pitch), transposes the sound one octave down (to Cl, the lower ~ and
transposes the sound one octave up (to C3, the high ~ This is assigned to the
Current Preset (as shown when no module is activated). DEFINE VOICE can
assign the sampled sound to a different range of the Emulator II keyboard, and
also numbers the Voice from 00 to 99.
1. With the SAMPLE module active, key in 2. The display says:
Place Orig Pitch
Onto Keyboard
2. Play the key where you want to place the original sampled sound. The display
now says:
Place Lower Key
Onto Keyboard
3. Play the lowest desired note of the range (cannot exceed one octave below the
original pitch). The display now says:
