FYI
• Sample banks also have other uses. For example, you can create a sample bank consisting of
samples from you favorite drum set (bass drum, snare, tom, hi-hat, cymbals, and so on), with each
sample mapped to a different note within an octave. You can use a single
ToPgm
switch to set the
entire drum set on or off for any given program.
• In most cases the A3000 automatically converts multisample data that you import from another
sampler into the sample-bank structure described here. This feature does not work with all sam-
pler models, however.
Summary
Let’s briefly review the basic characteristics of samples and programs.
Sample
• Consists of waveform data (sound wave) and sample parameters (basic playback con-
ditions).
• May be either stereo or monaural.
• Multiple samples can be grouped into a single sample bank. You can then treat the
sample bank as a single “virtual” sample.
• When playing sound from the A3000, you do not select and play at the sample level.
Instead, you create programs that utilize the samples, and then play the programs.
Program
• You use programs to play back your samples.
• The A3000 provides 128 programs (001 to 128).
• To use a sample within a program, you set the program’s
ToPgm
switch ON for that
sample.
• You can use the Easy Edit feature to adjust playback conditions at the program level.
These adjustments do not affect the sample data itself, and are effective only while
the program is selected.
