Sampling

Open Sampling System

16bit/48kHz: Stereo/Mono Sampling

Sampling time (RAM)

RAM1: 64 Mbytes (installed as standard) allows up to approximately 11 
minutes 39 seconds of mono sampling or approximately 5 minutes 49 
seconds of stereo sampling. 512 bytes are used by the system.

RAM2: 256 Mbytes (when the EXB-M256 is installed) allows up to 
approximately 46 minutes 36 seconds of mono sampling or approximately 23 
minutes 18 seconds of stereo sampling.

RAM1+RAM2: Total 320 Mbytes, allowing up to approximately 58 minutes 15 
seconds of mono sampling or approximately 29 minutes 7 seconds of stereo 
sampling. (Continuous sampling across RAM1 and RAM2 is not possible.)

Sampling time 
(MEDIA)

Maximum sampling time to a USB storage device is a maximum of 
approximately 80 minutes for one sample file, for either mono or stereo. This 
occupies approximately 440 Mbytes for mono, or 879 Mbytes for stereo.

Number of samples/ 
multisamples

4,000 Samples/1,000 Multisamples (Max. 128 indexes per Multisample.)

Sample directly from audio CDs (CD-DA)
