THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROM AND RAM MACHINES

The Machinedrum offers two types of machines for storing samples: ROM and RAM

machines. The ROM machines keep the samples in memory even after the unit is switched

off. When the unit is turned on the samples stored in the ROM machines will be loaded

instantly.

The RAM machines on the other hand function a bit different. Their content is erased every

time the unit is switched off. You then have to fill them with sound data by either sampling

the internal engine or sample from the external inputs. They are best used for real time

sampling. Read about how they can be used in the “RAM MACHINES TUTORIAL” on

page A-16, found in APPENDIX A.

RAM TO ROM COPY

If you want to permanentely store the content of a RAM machine, you can copy it and paste

t to a ROM machine.

1. While in the SAMPLE MANAGER menu, move the focus to the RAM machine whose

content you wish to copy and then press [FUNCTION] + [REC].

2. Choose the ROM slot you want to copy the RAM machine to and then press [FUNC-

TION] + [STOP]. Since you can’t undo this operation you will be asked whether you

want to perform the action or not. Press [ENTER/YES] if you want to proceed with the

copy operation.

3. A prompt will ask if you want to "RELOAD SAMPLES NOW?".

4. If you press the [

ENTER/YES] button the content of all other RAM machines will be

erased. If you want to copy the other RAM machines as well it is very important that you

instead press the [EXIT/NO] key.

5. When you have copied all the RAM machines you can either press the [ENTER/YES]

key when being asked if you want to reload the samples, or exit the SAMPLE MAN-

AGER. In either way, all the RAM machines will be emptied.

GENERAL SAMPLE RECEIVE

You don’t have to be in SAMPLE MGR menu to receive samples. This is possible to do at

any time and in any menu. This method of receiving samples functions exactly the same

way as the ORG option described in “ORIGINAL PLACE SAMPLE RECEIVE” on page 70.

1. Connect the MIDI cables correctly to the Machinedrum UserWave. The MIDI OUT port

on the MIDI interface should be connected to the MIDI IN port on the Machinedrum

UserWave. If you want to use the closed loop transfer method, connect the MIDI OUT of

the UserWave to the MIDI IN of the MIDI interface.

2. Load the samples you want to send to the Machinedrum into a suitable program, for

xample C6.
