Emax II operation manual
73
SAMPLE 1
VU MODE/GAIN
This function sets the proper level for sounds being recorded into the Emax II.
1. First, insert the source to be sampled into the rear panel sample input jack. Select the
preset in which you want the sample to appear. Next, activate
SAMPLE 1
.
If the preset already contains a sample in the default range in which a new sample would
be recorded (C1 low note, G1 original note, B1 high note), the Emax II will look for the
first available empty keyboard space to place the sample. If the Emax II can’t find an
empty keyboard space, it chooses the standard default and goes to the place sample
screen (see
SAMPLE 2
). After this is taken care of, the display shows:
Pri 01 G2 -10dB
Stereo G2 -10dB
||||||||||||||||| |
Mono Sampling
Stereo Sampling
There may or may not be some moving vertical bars in the display’s lower line.
2. The data slider sets the sampling section gain from -10 to +40 dB in 2 dB steps. Play the
sound to be sampled and observe the moving bar display; louder signals will kick the
bars further over to the right. The signal can be monitored through the main outputs. The
Emax II VU meter is a “peak hold” type which briefly “holds” the highest level attained.
The signal levels on the VU meter should be set as follows for optimum results:
■
Emax II with
Mono
Sampling capabilities
only
: The signal level should be set so the
peak does not exceed the level shown in the Mono Sampling diagram above.
■
Emax II with
Stereo
Sampling option: The signal level should be set so that the peak
bar comes close to the extreme right side without actually reaching it. This is the
optimum recording level for either mono or stereo samples.
3. If the meter bar hits the extreme right hand side, the headroom of the Emax II has been
exceeded. Adjust the data slider, and possibly the output control of the device being
sampled (if present), so that peaks are below this overload point.

High level signals
should not be present at
the sample input jack
when entering the
sample module be-
cause the Emax II auto-
calibrates the sample
inputs during this time.
