Thereby the possibilities of the adjustments are so extensive, that the produced sounds reach almost the quality of modern synthesizers and keyboards. Especially interestingly might be the program therefore for the ones, which the acquisition is not want to dispense a good synthesizer too expensive however still with new and good sounds in their own musics or programs. The parameters orientientates at many Synthesizers and are to be adjusted nevertheless as simply and quickly as possible. Furthermore the SAM offers many additional advantages, how for instance the using of own, personally digitized sounds and waveforms for the constant expansion of the sounddiversity, if the included sounds and instruments should suffice you no more. A further advantage is the optimal soundquality conditional through the calculation. While at the digitalisation of complex waveforms often appears a disturbing intoxication through analogous data and inaccurate digitizers, the sounds calculated through the SAM are nealy noiseless. In contrast to other sample-calculaters the SAM processes so-called wavetables, that is to say, the sounds can be calculated from arbitrary waveforms (not like usually only sinus, rectangle triangle etc...) and assembled to complex sounds or sequences. Besides the assembled sounds can be improved still with standard effects like reverberation, echo, chorus, flanger, distortion and boost, whereby they sounds still more realistically. The SAM can manage up to 128 waveforms, which can be loaded as smallest units from disk. On the included diskettes approx. 600 Waves are found, you can load however also arbitrary other Waves (e.g. personally digitized). With the ´WAVE-SEQUENCING´ these waves can be faded in an arbitrary sequence into each other and combine to fully new complex waves. Thereby the pitch, duration, volume and crossfading is still indicated to each Wave. It is thus not only possible, to program simple modulations but also music- and rhythmsequences as an element of a sound. You can add a envelopegenerator, an oscillator for the pitch, a filter for low-, band- and highpass with filter- and resonancefrquence as well as a oscillator for the filterfrequence change to the wavesequences. A maximum of four emerging waveforms are mixed and yield thus the final Sound. Also here the four parts are indicated to each the transpose, the delay and the volume. There are processed 32 sounds simultaneously, and can be stored and loaded as a SET. The oscillators are indicated as LFO-makros and can be edited personally. There are therefore arbitrary oscillations possible. The complete Sound is sent now through the effectgenerator, which executes maximum four effects one after another. The sequence can be indicated thereby, and delivers also other results. As effects CHORUS, FLANGER, ECHO, REVERBATION , DISTORTION and BOOST (increase of the upper-frequences) can be set. Each effect has his own parameters, which can be set for each sound differently. Often a loop-position is indicated at sounds, to play the sound continiously. Thereby is the place of the jump mostly through a cracking or different modulations before and after the jump clearly audible. For it the SAM contains a Loop-Generator, which one submits these jumps. It calculates the loop to be repeated so, that the waveform is equal before and after the jump, and thus the audible crack is avoided. To calculate some example-sounds with the demoversion, load the DEMOSAM simply from the CLI or the Workbench. Click with the mouse- pointer on ´LOAD SET´ to load a SET. You can choose the desired sound with the / buttons beside the soundname. Press subsequently on SYNTHESIZE to calculate the sound. Pressing a key, playes the sound. With F1 and F2 the oktave of the keyboard is set. The buttons, which are crossed out, can only operate in the original version. With the other buttons you can play around, and yourself analyse the sound exact. Further informations you can find after the starting of SAM...
