- S.A.M. - The Sample Synthesizer Release July 1995
-
-
- The SAM is a comfortable program, with which you can make astonishing
- sounds and noises, yes even complex music- and rhythmsequences in a
- simply way. 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 <arrow up>/<arrow down> 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...
