Hi everyone!
I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer me.
Everytime before I play on my triton I wash my hands, but it seems to be impossible to avoid some of the metal parts that are more frequently in contact (around the buttons and controls) to get dirty of natural oil, sweat and who knows what else. I have the board for 3 months only, but my guess will be that whithin a longer time those parts are going to become really dirty and ugly. I think alcohol will surely remove that, but I don't know if it will damage the paint of something. Or if you know of some other product to clean those metal surfaces?
Ok, and #2 has to do with the sampler.
Probably I'm a heretic for lasting so much to actually play around with the sampler function but I've been short on time.
Here it goes: I know that what we sample isn't stored in the internal memory so it must be saved on a floppy (too small storage capacity), or on a hard drive with de SCSI (which I don't have). Then I was all happy when I learned that samples could be transformed into programs because it seemed like the solution to my problem since I could save it on any of the bank E program slots. But then it was the end of the world to me when I find out that after turning the power off and on, only the sample name was stored on the program I used, but no sound :cry:
I dodn't know If I did something wrong, but if this is how it works, how can I use the sampler in a practical way?
For example if I sample something for a live presentation, what shall I do? Take a laptop with a SCSI (both I don't have) and load the sample before the presentation? Or in case that it fits on a floppy, take 15 floppys and load them in the middle of the presentation?
Or maybe is just that the sampler wasn't intended to be used live. Tell me how you use your sampler.
Please don't be hard on me, I'm pretty new with this sampler feature. (And with the sequencer, but I will hold that for another moment :D )
Thank you a lot!!
Andrés
