→THE SAMPLER
== THE SAMPLER ==
Those who only have access to an MSX-MUSIC chip or a Toshiba module with MSX-AUDIO (heath miss both lack an ADPCM sampler) can skip this chapter.
=== What 5.1What is a sample? ===
A sample is a digitized sound, in which case the data of the sample is stored in the computer. The sampler of the MSX-AUDIO always scans for a few thousandths of seconds the external signal (eg the microphone) and converts the incoming value into a number. The time between these scans can vary, this is called the sampling frequency.
With [F5] you go to the disc menu. Here you can load and save individual samples or complete sample kits. See chapter 7. For all the above functions money: choose a function with cursors, change a value with the spacebar and then the numeric keys.
=== 5.3Play 3.Play in the sample menu ===
The samples that have been recorded can be played while playing music in the music edit screen, or in the sample menu. With F3 you can choose the right keyboard to play the sample with. You can choose from the keyboard of your MSX, the Philips Klavier that belongs to the Music Module, or MIDI. The MIDI interfaces supported by MoonBlaster are the MSX-MIDI (which is built into the turbo R FS-A1GT), NMS 1205 MIDI (in the Music Module) or FMI (the FAC MIDl interface). With the [M] - key you can select one of these MIDI interfaces, MoonBlaster tells you whether this interface is present or not. If you press one of the keys on your keyboard , the current sample (Current Sample Block) will be played. The height of the frequency of the sample depends on the key you press.
