NAMING SAMPLES - COPYING AND RENAMING
There are times when you want to rename a sample or copy it. You may want to rename it just to
give it a more meaningful name. You may want to copy a sample so that you can work on it with
no harm coming to the original.
To copy or rename a sample, press NAME. In conjunction with the CURSOR keys which can
be used to move the cursor around within the name, you can use the DATA control to scroll
through characters and numbers.
When you have entered your name, press ENT and you will get this prompt:
Pressing will copy the original sample. If the sample name is an existing one, the boxed
area to the top left of the screen will show something like:
You will receive the following prompt:
You must enter a unique new name.
Pressing will simply rename the currently selected sample with the name just entered. If
the name exists, you will be prompted as above and you must re-enter a unique name.
Pressing will exit the naming process altogether with no action taking place. Should you
press this by mistake, you will see that the boxed area to left of the screen still retains the new
name you entered so press NAME immediately followed by ENT and make your choice again.
It is worth taking the time to name your samples sensibly. It may be quick to simply call them
SAMPLE 1, SAMPLE 2, 3, 4, etc., but, when you come to put them into a program, these
names may not mean much to you. If you return to them in a week they certainly won’t. Names
like PIANO C#3 is best - this tells you the instrument and the note it is sampled on so it will be
easier to set your program up later when you come to assign your samples to specific
keyranges.
