for example). Subsequent SamplePools would have to be
-004, -005, -006, etc.
And finally, the SamplePools will not automatically load
when you turn on the Solaris, or plug in the CF card! You
must go to your
SYSTEM
soft key group (in the center
graphics display), and activate the process by turning the
lower left most knob (for the parameter labeled “
Sam-
pImg
”). Once you turn the knob, you should see a mes-
sage in the bottom line that says, “Press Enter to select im-
age file.” You then press
Enter
, and the Solaris will go out
to the CF card and look for any SamplePool text files in the
Samples folder to load in the Sample Pool names. Once it
has all of the names loaded from the card, you can turn the
same lower left knob and now see a number and a name of
each SamplePool that is on the card. Once you see the one
you want to load, you press
Enter
again, and wait until the
Solaris is finished loading the samples, at which point you
should see the message, “Finished sample transfer...”.
To avoid any accidental reloading of the SamplePool
names and/or samples themselves, it’s best to move off of
the
SYSTEM
screen to some other screen (you can go to
the MIDI screens, or any other soft key group).
Now you can go to any Oscillator, select the
WAV
type, and
you should be able to hear your loaded samples as you
scroll through the Wave numbers.
The first time you load a brand new sample pool
into your Solaris, a special ‘map’ file is created from
the SamplePool.txt file. This will take a little bit of
time, depending on how many samples are in the
Sample Pool, and you will find that, when trying to
select the new pool, you will not see it immediately
in the screen. You do need to attempt to select it,
however, to tell the Solaris to ‘build’ the .map file.
Once it’s done, you will have the SamplePool num-
ber available to load.
The format of SamplePool files is described in “Sample
Specifications” on page 58.
