3. Loading samples from Ms-Dos/Atari floppy disks
If you have a computer and a sample editing program that can save data in Avalon, Sound
Designer, Sample Vision or Wave* formats, the Music Processor can read samples
created with the editor from floppy disks. The floppy disk must be formatted Ms-Dos or
Atari (720k)**.
1. From the Waveform display, after having selected a location for the sample, activate
the Load command:
2. Press
ENTER
and use the
DIAL
to select “Dos/Atari”:
3. Press
ENTER
; the directory of the Ms-Dos/Atari floppy disk will appear:
The items marked with the symbol are sub-directories (S. Disk ) that can contain
samples. Access the sub-directory by pressing
ENTER
, and return to the main directory
with the B
ACK
command.
4. Use the
DIAL
to select a sample and press
ENTER
to load it in the location selected in
Waveform.

**To save samples created
with an Apple Macintosh
computer on an Ms-Dos
disk, programs such as
“Apple File Exchange”,
“AccesPC” or similar must
be used. For Commodore
Amiga files, use the
“Dos2Dos” program or
similar.
* The Wave format (.WAV)
is the standard format of
sounds under Windows.
Note:
Samples which cannot
enable the Detune
parameter have Loop
Start and Loop End points
with widely differing
amplitudes. To correct this
problem, select the Loop
Start and Loop End points
with similar amplitudes,
using an external sampling
editor.
