Sampling with the Triton Rack

[metl4evr]

Okay, hopefully this question doesn't make me look like a fool. heheh

So I've been tryin to load in some samples into the Triton Rack here. I have no problem doing so, and creating Programs that let me play these samples to my liking. No problem thus far.

The problem is, when I power off the Rack, the samples disappear. I pretty much have to reload them, create ANOTHER multisample, and basically start over again. WHY!??!?

Is there no way to simply create a sample, and then use it in a Program indefinately? I understand RAM, and I know that it doesnt hold into memory after a power cycle. but my question is, is there no way to WRITE a SAMPLE into the internal memory so I don't have to keep loading from floppy disk every time i wanna use this Program? (which is OFTEN??! )

If not, well then I question having a sampling option AT ALL! It seems to defeat the purpose if I have to go thru that every time.


Thanks for your time!!

No, you have to reload every time.

Well, it's old technology....loading via floppies.
There are faster ways of loading.
For the rack, you may want to consider a SCSI card so that you can hook a zip drive.
You get more storage capacity and the zip disks load faster.

Okay, So my next questions:

I do have the SCSI option... Can I install a ZIP drive onto the Rack unit?? or a hard drive??

Its too bad there wasn't an updated version of the Triton Rack. Kinna like the TR. Even tho the TR is really just an LE hehehe

Yes you can use a zip drive that's the exact set-up I'm using. Zip drives are a lot faster than trying to load from floppies. Make sure when you buy the drive that you get the scsi version and not a USB or parallel version.
