You can copy a sample to an empty sample number or overwrite an existing sample number. v 1. To Copy a Sample: Press the Sample Manage key. Select the sampe you want to copy using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys. A pop-up dialog box appears asking you to select the destination sample location. Select the destination sample location using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC keys or the numeric keypad. If you choose a destination that already contains a sample, the system asks you if you want to overwrite the existing sample before continuing. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press OK to copy the sample or Cancel to cancel the operation. Sample Dump MIDI Sample Dump lets you transfer sample data to and from the Emulator using the MIDI Sample Dump Standard. Although none of the preset parameters are transferred, sample loop data is retained. If imported samples have loop problems such as "ticks or pops", the Sample Integrity function (Sample Edit, Utilities) may be able to automatically repair them. Sample data can be transmitted with a word size of either 14 or 16 bits (some instruments require the use of the 14 bit word size). Use 14-bit mode for instruments that use 14 bits or less to transmit data 30% faster. Before initiating MIDI Sample Dump, make sure that the MIDI cables are properly connected. A single MIDI cable (open-loop) is sufficient but the data transfers much faster if two MIDI cables are used (closed-loop). The closed-loop allows the two units to handshake and prevents idle time between each data packet. In the MIDI Sample Dump Standard and in EOS, samples are assigned numbers and these numbers are maintained throughout the transfer. For example, sample #36 transferred from another device to the Emulator overwrites the existing sample #36 on the Emulator. EOS 4. 0 Software Manual 175 5 - Sample Manage Sample Utilities v 1. To Send or Receive a Sample: Connect the MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT connectors on both units, using MIDI cables. Select the sample to be transmitted or received using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC keys, or the numeric keypad. · Side: If the sample is stereo, you have the option to select the right or left side. Select the sample using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC keys or the numeric keypad. Press OK to dump the sample or Cancel to cancel the operation. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. When receiving a sample, the currently selected sample will be overwritten by the incoming sample. 176 E-MU Systems 5 - Sample Manage Sample Utilities Defragment Memory When samples are erased or truncated, empty spaces are left in sample memory until the bank is saved to disk Because the memory space is not filled efficiently, we call this condition "Fragmented Memory". Fragmented memory may limit new sample size, even though you have plenty of memory left. Memory is automatically defragmented when a bank is saved to disk. v 1. To Defragment Sample Memory: Press the Sample Manage key. A pop-up dialog box appears asking you if you want to de-fragment sample memory. 2. 3. 4. Press OK to defragment memory or Cancel to cancel the operation. Sound Memory Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample Sample Defragmenting Sample Memory collects stray samples and packs them together in one chunk.

To Name a Sample: Press the Sample Manage key.

Sound files can be transferred between a PC computer and the Emulator using Sound ForgeTM, RecycleTM or other sample editing software. · Macintosh - Sound files can be transferred between a Macintosh computer and the Emulator using RecycleTM, Transfer StationTM, AlchemyTM or other digital sample editing software.
