EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual Section 6 — Wave Parameters
COMMAND/Wave Page
A primary function of the EPS-16 PLUS is to create new Wavesamples by
sampling external sound sources. However, the EPS-16 PLUS also can create a
Wavesample without sampling. The CREATE NEW WAVESAMPLE command
creates a small squarewave without sampling.
Use this command to make a copy of the currently selected Wavesample and its
data, or a copy of its parameters only. See UNDERSTANDING COPY
COMMANDS in Section 7 — Voice Parameters.
COPY WAVESAMPLE lets you use the same section of data to change
envelopes, tuning, and other parameters. You can copy the parameters and data
of the original Wavesample, or just the parameters. Selecting PARAMS ONLY
helps conserve memory. For example, you can create huge stereo mixes by
placing original Wavesamples on the left channel, and copies on the right and then
detuning the copies.

you don't need from a drum kit Doing this can help you conserve memory.
