Wavesample Commands
There are many commands for working with Wavesamples and wavedata. Rather
than putting them all on one page, they are broken down into three pages.
The COMMAND/Wave page contains the standard copy and delete commands for
Wavesamples, plus several looping commands.
The COMMAND/Amp and COMMAND/LFO pages contain amplitude and
wavedata processing commands respectively. Some of these are fairly low-level
operations that are rarely used. They are included for completeness.
Selecting Wavesamples For Editing
Before you can do any of the following commands, you must first go to the EDIT
page and select the specific layer and Wavesample you want to work on.
• Press the Edit button.
• The display reads (for example) INST NAME LYR=1 WS=L
• Use the Arrow buttons to select the layer and Wavesample you want to
change.
• Press Command, then Wave, Amp, or LFO.
Now you are ready to execute any of the following commands.
Important: Always make sure the Wavesample you want to edit is selected on the EDIT page.
Messages:
• NO EDIT WS SELECTED — go to the EDIT page and select a Wavesample
you want to work on.
• WAVESAMPLE IS A COPY — means the Wavesample you are editing is not
an original, but a copy. If you press Enter•Yes in response to this message,
the EPS-16 PLUS will take the data from the original Wavesample and copy it
into the Wavesample you are editing. This will make the Wavesample you are
editing larger. If this is undesirable, use the WAVESAMPLE INFORMATION
command to find which Wavesample is the original. Then perform the
command on the original. See discussion later in this section for more on
COPY WAVESAMPLE.
• LAYER NOT IN PATCH — press Edit, then Instrument and select the
correct layer. Use the Arrow buttons and enable the layer in the patch, as
described earlier in Section 3 —Instruments and Banks.
Note: Wherever you see the notation ##, that symbol will represent the numeric value of
a parameter whose setting or level is considered arbitrary to the subsequent
discussion. For example, if SCALE DEPTH= ## DB, the ## represents the
entire range of this parameter. You can use the Data Entry Slider or
Up/Down Arrow buttons to explore these ranges.
