Electribe ES-1 tips

[cyberheater]

I found this on the harmony central site. I think it's a great tip for ES-1 users and really frees up how many samples are available to the user at any one time.

You can always load samples between files, so you can have several hundred samples on your card instead of just 100 mono samples and/or 50 stereo samples (00-99.wav on the card). Load samples to the SmartMedia card, import all of them and save as 1.es on the card (see manual for how to do the saving and loading). Then take the SmartMedia card to the computer, load 100 new samples (00-99.wav), plug it back into your ES-1, load the samples and save as 2.es on the card. Now you have 2 separate .es files with 100 samples. You can load individual samples from any .es file, so now you can start a new file (3.es for example) and load any samples from the other two .es files. It sounds a little complicated, but it's very easy once you try it. You can have up to 9 different .es files with (potentially) 100 mono and 50 stereo samples. That gives you a lot more to choose from and free's up space in the file you are currently working on. You can then sample longer phrases to loop and pick and choose the drum samples from your other saved files. Cool, huh?

You wouldn't happen to have any links to any tutorials that can put operation of one of these into layman's terms would you? The manual just confuses the hell out of me and I'm having a bitch of a time trying to work the thing out
