Sampling
Open Sampling System
16bit/48kHz: Stereo/Mono Sampling
Sampling time (RAM)
RAM1: 64 Mbytes (installed as standard) allows up to approximately 11
minutes 39 seconds of mono sampling or approximately 5 minutes 49
seconds of stereo sampling. 512 bytes are used by the system.
RAM2: 256 Mbytes (when the EXB-M256 is installed) allows up to
approximately 46 minutes 36 seconds of mono sampling or approximately 23
minutes 18 seconds of stereo sampling.
RAM1+RAM2: Total 320 Mbytes, allowing up to approximately 58 minutes 15
seconds of mono sampling or approximately 29 minutes 7 seconds of stereo
sampling. (Continuous sampling across RAM1 and RAM2 is not possible.)
Sampling time
(MEDIA)
Maximum sampling time to a USB storage device is a maximum of
approximately 80 minutes for one sample file, for either mono or stereo. This
occupies approximately 440 Mbytes for mono, or 879 Mbytes for stereo.
Number of samples/
multisamples
4,000 Samples/1,000 Multisamples (Max. 128 indexes per Multisample.)
