Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Depends on what you are trying to do....the closer you are trying to reproduce a known sound or sound characteristic, the more you have to rely on multi-samples across the keyboard.  For what I wanted, synthesized sounds, no acoustic instrument reproductions, I used the maximum of 2 samples per octave.  In many cases, I wanted to capture a sound that was useful only in a very limiting frequency range, so I used 1 or 2 samples for the whole keyboard.....

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.....

>>I have never tried this but what is the largest rom you can make in the sampler? 32mb. How does the compression work i know you said you cant fit as many waveforms as the facotry but could you make a useful rom? Thanks.
