Re: [xl7] Re: ROM Authoring Success....

Can i ask if you did any keygroups on the rom for instruments and if so how many sections of the scale did you sample for them? I am interested in making some roms for my mp7 but have to wonder with the price of them if it is worth it.

I don't believe there is any compression of sample data, the 15.9MB sample bank that I created on the sampler was all I could fit on the 16MB ROM. However, some of my samples were in the range of .5 to 2 seconds in length, much larger than sometimes is necessary as I was including the portions of the wave that morphed and changed pitch in time rather than create a shorter fixed frequency/low modulation loop and let the XL7/PK6/XL1 perform the modulation in real time.....with a few of the factory ROMS and one or two custom ROMS, there might be every thing I need.....
