Saving the Sample
To save the sample as part of a preset, de-activate the Sample/Manage-
ment module. Since memory was cleared prior to sampling, the ESI
created a preset (00) called “Untitled Preset.” This is the preset that
holds your new sample. Had you sampled into a bank with existing
presets, the sample would have been stored with the current preset.
Remember, this guided tour is intended simply as an overview to give
you a feel for the sampling process. Good sampling requires skill,
patience, and above all, practice!
Background and Setup
Digital processing allows you loop samples stored in the bank. In this
guided tour we’ll learn how to do this. First, though, we need to create a
couple of samples with which we can practice.
1. Clear the bank of memory. Use the Master/Globals module, 3.
Erase Bank.
2. Make a sample of yourself speaking.
Following the directions in
Guided Tour No. 5, select a four second sample length (Sample
Management module, Setup). After setting the threshold and other
parameters, arm sampling and start jabbering.
3. Take another four second sample.
De-activate, then re-activate the
module to sample. You will not have to do any setup — just hit 7.
Arm Sampling, and talk away. You will then have two samples
suitable for experimentation.
4. Assign your samples to a keyboard zone.
Use 6. Place Sample.
Choosing the Current Sample
Activate the Digital Processing module. This module acts upon the
current sample. To select another sample, press 0. Select Sample.
Truncating A Sample
Use the Digital Processing module, 3. Truncation, to truncate the ends
off samples. Vary the Data Entry Control as you play a key in the range
assigned to the current sample. Notice the start of the sample will
disappear. Use this technique to get rid of silence at the start of a sample
or for effects. Move the cursor using the up and down arrow keys to the
End display. Use the Data Entry Control to truncate any undesired part
from the end of the sample.
When you are satisfied with your truncating efforts, press ENTER. The
ESI will automatically make a backup of the sample on the hard disk, (if
you have one connected) in case you decide that you don’t like the
truncation after all.
If desired, change the current sample (Digital Processing, 0. Select
Sample) and experiment with truncating the other sample you took.
