Emax II operation manual

If you press NO , the Emax II enters the truncation function. YES permanently truncates
the voice, the voice will be truncated at the previously selected truncation point(s), and
the Emax II will return to the module identifier.
Note: As you change the truncation points of a looped sample (see DIGITAL PROCESS-
ING 2 ), the loop(s) may disappear and reappear depending on the exact location of the
truncation points. If the sample is permanently truncated while the loop is inaudible,
then the loop will be lost. The minimum size of a voice is 79 samples.
DIGITAL PROCESSING 2 SET LOOP START
and LOOP LENGTH POINTS
“Looping” lets you mark off a section (called a loop) of a voice with a Start Point
and Loop Length. When you press a key, the voice plays normally until it reaches
the end of the loop. It then jumps back to the Start point and re-plays through the
loop. Upon reaching the loop end, it again re-plays the loop. This looping process
continues for as long as the key is pressed.
Note: DIGITAL PROCESSING 4 controls three aspects of looping: loop on/off,
forwards/backwards, and loop in release. Refer to this section for specifics.
Note also that the Emax II offers two loops, each of which can loop a different
portion of the signal. The Sustain Loop is operative when the key is down, and the
Release Loop is operative in the release phase, when the key is up.
Applications: Looping provides “infinite sustain” effects, extends short samples, and if
the loop time is rhythmically related to a composition, produces interesting rhythmic
effects.
1. Activate DIGITAL PROCESSING 2 . The display shows:
Lp:Start Length
XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
The seven digits under Start indicate, in number of sample points, the Start of the Loop
in relation to the beginning of the voice. A higher number moves the Start point closer
to the end of the sample. Example: At a 39K sample rate, if the Start point reads 0039000,
the Start point is located one second into the sample. The seven digits under Length
indicate the Loop Length in number of sample points. A higher number increases the
loop Length. The minimum start point is 3 samples and the shortest possible loop length
on the Emax II is 32 samples.

Each side of a Stereo
Voice must be looped
separately! Loop the
primary voice, then
write down the loop
points and loop the sec-
ondary voice so that it
exactly matches the
primary. This will save
time. Alternately, you
may wish to have differ-
ent loop points on each
side.
