174 REFERENCE GUIDE
Commands/options tuning Provides a reference for the sample pitch, producing the exact note played on the
keyboard with a sinusoidal wave.
loop nr. (x) Permits the selection of one of the eight loops of the sample. Only the first
loop is used by the S Series , but it is also possible to modify the other loops.
note link This option appears only when the “Note” parameter is in edit mode. It auto-
matically varies the “SR” parameter when the “Note” parameter is modified.
exit Returns to the Waveform display.
Info About (cannot be modified) Name of the sample.
Note Original pitch of the sample.
note link See above
SR Sampling Rate. The frequency corresponding to the note shown by the “Note” parameter.
Length (can not be modified) Length of the sample in words. A word is the unit of measure of the sample. Since the S
Series uses a 16 bit sampling technique, 1 word = 2 bytes. (1 byte = 8 bit).
Loop Start The starting point of the loop. It is possible to modify any one of the eight sample loops, but
only the first loop is exploited by the Sounds created with Sample Translator. To select the
loop that requires modifying, use the “Loop nr: (x)” command in the command/options
column.
Loop End Ending point of the loop. See the previous parameter.
Possible error messages during the edit of the Loop Start and Loop End:
The Sounds based on this Waveform cannot be converted into Dual Oscillator or Single
Oscillator Sounds.
Loop type The possible loop types are as follows:
type 0 (loop deactivated)
type 1 (loop is read in forward direction only)
Loop
Start Loop
End
type 2 (loop alternately read forwards and backwards; it is not exploited by the S Series but
it can be transmitted to a sampler)
Loop
Start Loop
End
Note range The keyboard zone to which the sample has been assigned.. If the sample has not been
assigned, the message “Unassigned” appears in place of the notes.
Exit
Escape command from the Sample Translator. If you have created a Waveform the instru-
ment asks you if you wish to cancel your edit work
If you press
ENTER
the Waveform will be lost. If you press
EXIT
, you can save your Waveform
with “Save” before escaping.
