92 Sampling operating mode
Write Sample dialog box
Compress all samples
When there is no more space in the Sample memory for your
samples, you can compress the samples. With the optional EXB-
M256 Sample RAM expansion, this will allow to load up to
512MB of samples.
Note: Compressing the whole content of the Sample memory can
last up to four hours.
Compressed samples will have an asterisk (*) next to their name.
Exit from Record
Choose this command to exit from the Sampling mode.
Write Sample dialog box
Open this dialog box by selecting the Write command from the
page menu, while in the Sample Edit / Sample Record section. In
this dialog box you can save the sample to the internal HD
(KHD_SYSTEM).
To assign a different name to the sample, touch the (Text
Edit) button to open the Text Edit window.
In case you are saving a percussive sample, choose a Drum Sam-
ple family to be assigned to.
Select an option to choose a memory location where to save the
sample:
• Select “Save as a new Sample” to save to a new location.
• Select “Save to” to overwrite an existing location. Warning:
The older sample at the same location will be deleted!
You can also check the “Compress” checkbox to save the sample
in a compressed format. This operation could reduce the size of
the sample up to a half. Please note the compression procedure
can require a very long time.
Compressed samples will have an asterisk (*) next to their name.
Write MultiSample dialog box
Open this dialog box by selecting the Write command from the
page menu, while in the Multisample section. In this dialog box
you can save the multisample to the internal HD
(KHD_SYSTEM). Multisamples are a way to organize samples
on the keyboard, and are used by Sounds as their basis.
To assign a different name to the multisample, touch the
(Text Edit) button to open the Text Edit window.
Select an option to select a memory location where to save the
sample:
• Select “Save as a new MultiSample” to save to a new loca-
tion.
• Select “Save to” to overwrite an existing location. Warning:
The older multisample at the same location will be deleted!
Write Slice dialog box
Open this dialog box by selecting the Write command from the
page menu, while in the Time Slice page. In this dialog box you
can save the Sound, sliced Samples and Multisample generated
by the Time Slice function, together with the generated MIDI
Groove.
The Sound will be saved to the selected User bank location in the
internal, non-volatile memory. The Multisample will be saved to
a free location in the same memory. Samples will be saved to the
internal HD (KHD_SYSTEM).
Note: The MIDI Groove is automatically saved in a reserved, tem-
porary location, and is automatically deleted when turning the
instrument off. So, import it (by using the “Import: Import Groove”
function in Style or Pad Record mode, see page 27 of teh User’s
Manual), before turning the instrument off.
Warning: The older Sound at the target location will be deleted!
