"Sample Magic: Mastering the Ensoniq EPS/ASR Samplers gives readers the inside scoop, going beyond what is covered in the manuals. Mims gives up a multitude of sound design secrets, shows how to optimize the sampler for either live performance or studio tracking, and gets into the nitty-gritty of mastering a SCSI setup. The book is not a dry technical manual, it's a witty journey through practical applications, such as:
* How to use drum loops, and make them match your sequencer tempo exactly,
* How to sneak in an extra part when all sequencer tracks are used,
* How to create an Ensoniq-format CD-ROM,
* How to save a damaged floppy disk,
* Which SCSI drives work with which samplers,
* How to set up, navigate, and optimize a SCSI drive,
* How to program an arpeggiator in your sampler (and no, it's not using the sequencer!),
* How to free up polyphony,
* What those ERROR messages can tell you,
* How to troubleshoot problems with your sampler.
