2. Use the data slider to change the sample length (the increment length depends on the
available memory). When the display shows the desired sample length, press
ENTER
.
The sample length will remain as set until changed.
SAMPLE 5
THRESHOLD
There are two ways to initiate sampling: Threshold-sensitive sampling and forced
sampling (SAMPLE 7). With threshold-sensitive sampling, once sampling is
“Armed” sampling begins whenever the signal to be sampled exceeds the
programmable threshold level. This function sets the threshold level.
1. Activate
SAMPLE 5
. Once you move the data slider, the display will show a single bar
on the top line that indicates the threshold level; the lower line will show the level of the
signal to be sampled.
2. Set the desired threshold level with the data slider. Generally, you will set threshold
just above the residual noise of the sound to be sampled. Therefore, any noise will not
initiate sampling, but a signal that exceeds the threshold will.
Hint: Set the lowest possible threshold. If the beginning of a sound is cut off, the
threshold is too high. If there’s a delay before the beginning of a sound, the threshold is
too low and was probably triggered by some noise prior to the actual signal.
Note: Once sampling has begun, the Emax II will continue sampling even if the signal
falls below the threshold level. To stop sampling, refer to
SAMPLE 8
or set a specific
sample length (
SAMPLE 4
).
SAMPLE 6
ARM SAMPLING
Upon initiating this function, Emax II will begin sampling as soon as the sound to
be sampled exceeds the threshold set with SAMPLE 5, or when sampling is forced
(see SAMPLE 7).
1. Activate
SAMPLE 6
. The display’s top line says “Sample Armed”, while the bottom
line shows the moving-bar VU meter (see
SAMPLE 1
).
2. As soon as the sound to be sampled exceeds the threshold, the display will say
“Sampling.” After reaching the end of the sample length (if set with S
AMPLE 4
), being
stopped manually (
SAMPLE 8
), or when the Emax II runs out of memory, the display
will return to the module identifier.

When sampling in
Stereo, sampling
will begin whenever
either the left or right
channel exceeds
the threshold.
