SAMPLE Function SAMPLE Function You use the SAMPLE function to load one or all samples from a floppy disk or SCSI disk volume into the A3000 main memory. Before using this function, you must select the source disk or volume using the DISK or VOLUME function. • If loading from a floppy disk, you must first insert the floppy disk into the A3000 floppy drive, and then select the disk at the DISK function. (268) • If loading from a SCSI disk, you must first select the disk (partition) and volume containing the program(s) you want to load. (268, 266) For details about the relationship between disks, partitions, and volumes, refer to the section entitled "Disks and Volumes" in Chapter 3. (81) Please note that is possible to audition a sample directly from SCSI disk, so that you can check the sound before deciding whether or not to load it. To hear the sample, first select it with Knob 2 or 3 at the SmpLoad page (see below), and then press the AUDITION key. (This feature does not work with floppy disks, and some SCSI disks may not support it.) FYI Before you can load samples, you must first save them to disk. You can save your samples to disk using the PLAY | SAMPLE function. (112) SAMPLE - SmpLoad (Load Sample(s)) Loads one or all samples from disk.
