[. . . ] EXPLANATION OF GRAPHIC SYMBOLS: CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. IMPORTANT SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTION PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS. WARNING - When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all the Safety and Installation instructions and explanations of Graphic Symbols before using the product . [. . . ] Gains access to a page that can display information about the dimensions of the Waveform and the sample selected, the pitch of the sample and the position of the Loop Start and Loop End points of the sample. If confirmed with ENTER, all samples present in the edit buffer are cancelled; if EXIT is pressed, you return to Sample Translator. If selected, the parts that follow the Loop End of samples loaded after selection are cut off. This operation allows you to save memory, as the sample is not literally copied, but just read twice by Sample Translator. Unassign: Play Single: Info About: Exit: Cut End: Delete: Copy: Paste: 108 SAMPLE TRANSLATOR Loading samples ("Load") There are four possible ways of loading one or more samples into Sample Translator: · Access Sample Translator from a RAM-Sound based on a Waveform created with Sample Translator (many of the Sounds with the symbol). If this is a DO Sound, the sample will be the sound produced by the first oscillator. Receive a sample via MIDI from a sample editor or sampler, in the 16-bit MMA_sds format (Sample Dump Standard). Read samples from Ms-Dos/Atari floppy disks, in Avalon, Sound Designer, Sample Vision or Wave formats. Read Samples or Programs from an Akai S1000TM floppy disk (HD format). · · · 1. Loading a sample contained in a RAM-Sound Note: The Sample-RAM (RAM dedicated to samples) has a 2 megabyte capacity. It is therefore impossible to enter edit with a Waveform made up of more than 1 Megabyte of samples. In general, it is not possible to access edit if the overall size of the samples present in RAM and the sample to be edited exceeds 2 Megabytes. Note: This operation can be carried out only with RAM-Sounds having a Waveform created by Sample Translator. Assign a RAM-Sound with a Waveform created by Sample Translator (many of the Sounds with the symbol) to a selected track: 2. Access Edit Eound and then Sample Translator. If the RAM-Sound contains a Waveform that was not created by Sample Translator, the Waveform will not be loaded. If the Sound is a DO type, the Waveform will be loaded only if it is used by the first oscillator. Loading a sample via MIDI Check that the following connections with the sampler or computer have been made: · · The Music Processor's MIDI OUT 1 socket to the MIDI IN socket of external device; The Music Processor's MIDI IN 1 socket to the MIDI OUT socket of external device. If Midi Common is "Off", the external device must transmit on Channel 1. If Midi Common is "On", the external device must transmit on the Midi Common channel. From the Waveform display, after having selected a location for the sample, choose the Load command: Loading samples ("Load") 109 * Samplers that operate on the MMA_sds standard (Sample Dump Standard) identify the memorized sample with a number (0~255). To shift a sample from one device to another, the sample number must correspond on both devices. 2. The Music Processor requests the number* of the sample to be received from the external device (0~255): 3. When the sample number has been given, press ENTER to start reception: The sample received will occupy the location selected in Waveform: To receive other samples, select another location with the DIAL and repeat the operation. A previously imported sample can be replaced by another. Reception errors If connections have not been made correctly, or if the external device is unable to send the sample in MMA_sds format, the following error messages appear: Check the connections. If no fault is discovered, check the transmission channel of the external device (the Music Processor receives on channel 1 if Midi Common is "Off", or on the assigned Midi Common channel if Midi Common is "On").
