■ Sample Bank
Sets the bank that contains the sample you want to
play. When “stereo” is selected, you can set a
different sample bank for the L (left channel) and
the R (right channel). Although “FLASH” can be
selected, the selection is not effective unless you
install the Flash Memory Board EXFLM1 to your
EX5/5R/7.
❏ Settings: RAM, FLASH
Settings:The EX5/5R/7 contains 1MB of DRAM when
shipped from the factory. Installing a pair of 72 PIN
DRAM SIMMs can increase the internal memory to a
maximum of 65MB (including the original internal
1MB).
The internal DRAM (including the DRAM SIMM) is
volatile, and all the data is erased when the power is
turned off. Thus, when you turn the power back to on,
no sample is available in the internal memory.
■ Sample Number
Sets the sample that you want to play. When
“stereo” is selected, you can set a different sample
bank for the L (left channel) and the R (right
channel).
❏ Settings: 1~1024
Although the sample numbers go to 1024, the amount
of recordable data depends on the available memory.
When the available memory has been consumed,
recording will stop. Therefore although 1024 sample
numbers are displayed, this does not necessarily mean
that all the numbers contain sample data and can be
played back.
The EX5/5R/7 can load and play back the WAV, AIFF
and AKAI format files. For more information on
loading files, see page 265.
When you play back the sample having short loop length
in the high register (or after raised its pitch using
transpose function), noises may be reproduced. In this case
set the loop length (page 180) longer.
The sample having the end point (page 180) at the data
end may produce some noise when it is played back in
loop. In this case try to change the loop length.
Sample Play Mode
This mode lets you select a sample and play it back.
You can also enter the Sample Record mode from the
Sample Play mode and execute sampling sounds. The
internal memory can record up to a maximum of 1024
different samples. Also, for organizing your samples
after they have been recorded, they can be stored to
floppy disk so that you can make use of them whenever
you like.
For more information about the sampling basics, see page
69.
Press [SAMPLE] key on the panel to enter Sample Play
mode. When you enter the Sample Play mode, the
following menu screen will be displayed. You can select
a sample number to play back. You can also perform
sampling by Pressing [F8] (REC) to enter the Sample
Record mode.
At the bottom of the screen, the total memory capacities
(left) and available memories (right) of DRAM and
FLASH are displayed in the unit of words. 1 word is
equivalent to 2 bytes, or 16 bits. Acoordingly, the total
memory capacity of DRAM or FLASH are the half of the
one for the DRAM SIMM or Flash Memory you installed.
■ Play Mode
Sets the sample playback mode. There is “stereo”
and “mono” (monaural). When “stereo” mode is
selected, the sample bank/numbers for two channels,
L (left) and R (right) will be displayed. When
“mono” mode is selected, only one sample
bank/number will be displayed.
