2. Use the data slider to choose from six different sample rates between 20kHz (medium-
quality DDL sound) to 39 kHz (almost the same rate used with Compact Disks).

SAMPLE 4 SAMPLE LENGTH
Once sampling is initiated, the Emax II will normally sample until it runs out of
memory or is stopped (see SAMPLE 8, the “Stop Sampling” function). However,
this function lets you program a particular sample time after which Emax II will stop
sampling.
1. Activate SAMPLE 4 . The display says:
Length XX.X secs
(YY.Y Available)
...where XX.X is the time in seconds and YY.Y is the maximum time available.
Maximum time will depend on your sample rate; The chart below shows sample rates
versus time (this chart assumes that all of the Emax II’s sample and sequence memory
is empty).

31.250kHz * 16.8 33.5 50.3 67.1 83.9 100.7 117.4 134.2
39.0625kHz 13.4 26.9 40.3 53.7 67.1 80.5 94 107.4
Note: The Sample Rates shown in Bold , have a maximum continuous sampling time
equal to that of the 39kHz rate. Emax II samples at the 39kHz rate, then performs
automatic sample rate conversion on the sample and frees up the additional memory for
subsequent sampling.
The additional rates of 10kHz, 15.625kHz, 41.667kHz, and 44.1kHz are available in the
Sample Rate Conversion function of the Digital Processing module.
