Sampling
Open Sampling System (Resampling, In-Track Sampling)
16bit/48kHz: Stereo/Mono Sampling
Sampling time
RAM: Maximum sampling time depends on the amount of RAM memory (see “PCM RAM”).
In the case of 500 MB, approximately 93 minutes of monaural or 46 minutes 30 seconds of
stereo sampling is possible.
DISK: Maximum sampling time to the internal hard disk is approximately 80 minutes per sample
file, for either mono or stereo. This will use approximately 440 MB for monaural or 879 MB for
stereo.
Number of samples/
multisamples
4,000 Samples/1,000 Multisamples (Max. 128 indexes per Multisample.)
Sample directly from audio CDs (CD-DA)
Load AKAI S1000/3000, KORG Format, AIFF, and WAVE sample data
