1. System Overview • In conventional samplers the term "sample" normally refers to the wave data only. It is important to remember that A5000/A4000 samples also include a number of sample parameters. • Samples can be either mono or stereo. Stereo samples have independent wave data for the left and right channels. • The total number and size of samples that can be recorded or loaded into memory at a time will depend on the amount of internal wave memory available. • Sampling is carried out using the RECORD mode (page 150), while sample editing is carried out in the EDIT mode (page 118). Sample Banks A "sample bank" is a group of samples which can be handled as a single sample. Multi-sampled instruments, drum kits, etc., are collections of many samples that function together to create the desired sound. By grouping all the related samples together as a sample bank, they can be copied, saved, and otherwise managed all at once, making it unnecessary to go through the tedious process of individually processing each sample. Sample Bank Sample A Sample B Sample C Sample D • Multi-sampling is often used to achieve realistic reproduction of instruments that have a wide pitch range. Small groups of notes or even single note are individually sampled, then the resultant samples are "mapped" to the playback key range, thus accurately reproducing the instrument's natural tonal variation across its entire range. • Drum kits consist of individual samples of the various drum and percussion instruments required - bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals, etc., - mapped to individual notes of the keyboard or other controller. • When multi-sampled data which was not created using the A5000/A4000 or A3000 is imported, an appropriate sample bank will usually be automatically created. This may not occur, however, with data imported from certain devices. • Sample banks are created using the PLAY mode Sample Select function (PLAY - SAMPLESmpSel, page 93). 60 Chapter 3 The A5000/A4000 System & Features • A5000/A4000 q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q

In conventional samplers the term “sample” normally refers to the wave data only. It is important to

remember that A5000/A4000 samples also include a number of sample parameters.

• Samples can be either mono or stereo. Stereo samples have independent wave data for the left

and right channels.

•

The total number and size of samples that can be recorded or loaded into memory at a time will

depend on the amount of internal wave memory available.

Sampling is carried out using the RECORD mode (page 150), while sample editing is carried out

in the EDIT mode (page 118).

Sample Banks

A “sample bank” is a group of samples which can be handled as a single sample. Multi-sampled

instruments, drum kits, etc., are collections of many samples that function together to create the

desired sound. By grouping all the related samples together as a sample bank, they can be copied,

saved, and otherwise managed all at once, making it unnecessary to go through the tedious process of

individually processing each sample.

•

Multi-sampling is often used to achieve realistic reproduction of instruments that have a wide pitch

range. Small groups of notes or even single note are individually sampled, then the resultant sam-

ples are “mapped” to the playback key range, thus accurately reproducing the instrument’s natural

tonal variation across its entire range.

•

Drum kits consist of individual samples of the various drum and percussion instruments required

— bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals, etc., — mapped to individual notes of the keyboard or other

controller.

•

When multi-sampled data which was not created using the A5000/A4000 or A3000 is imported, an

appropriate sample bank will usually be automatically created. This may not occur, however, with

data imported from certain devices.

• Sample banks are created using the PLAY mode Sample Select function (PLAY – SAMPLE-

SmpSel, page 93).
