The User Voice Manager is available for

Windows and Mac OS X and is supplied on

the included CD-ROM.

As stated before each User Voice can consist

of up to 16 samples in WAV or AIFF format

with a length of each max. 0.97 seconds.

However, if you load longer samples into

the editor, only the first 0.97 seconds are

used. It is therefore not necessary to shorten

the samples to an appropriate length prior

to loading them.

The following audio resolutions are suppor-

ted by the User Voice Manager:

•Sampling rate: 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz,

44.1 kHz, 48 kHz

•8 bit, 16 bit

•Stereo, Mono

To create new User Voices simply drag

WAV/AIFF files directly from existing folders

onto the yellow numbers (1-16) of the Voice

Manager.

tically created new folder called „tenori-on“

on the selected volume. The newly created

files use the file name extension „.tnw“.

However, it is not always useful to use only

the first 0.97 seconds of the samples. If no

cut-off „gated“ sound is desired, you should

first edit the corresponding sample with a

sample editor. Set the timeline of your sam-

ple editor to display seconds and use the

fade-out function to produce a smooth de-

cay for your sample.

Many percussive sounds can also be cut

much shorter than 0.97 seconds. This also

has a favorable effect on the loading time.

Moreover, very short samples can be used

for 1 / 16 steps without any problems and

without having to adjust the note length in

the Tenori-On.

It is also advisable to first load and try your

multi-samples with a software sampler, it

saves you lots of loading times and correc-

tions can be done quickly, without having to

repeat the loading process.

Our recommendation for an effective use

of the Tenori-On is to compile a carefully

selected, good, solid set from your sound

material (WAV or AIFF files), which is per-

manently stored in the device.

A frequent reloading and selection of sam-

ples could be a hindrance in the creative

process.

Such a compilation could look like this:

•User Voice 1 = Drum kit

•User Voice 2 = Synthbass

•User Voice 3 = Combination kit with

various individual samples (sound

effects, synths, vocal-phrases, etc.)

However, each user has to decide of how to

use samples in the Tenori-On in the most

effective way for his musical aims.

We hope that we were able to give some

supportive suggestions.

In the Goodies section of this guide you will

find information about a Tenori-On sound

set that‘s free for registered users.

Alternatively, you can also click on the

numbers and then load the files from the

directory. But this is somewhat more time

consuming.

After assigning the 16 slots the compilation

is stored with „Make User Voice“.

First, a volume (hard disk, SD card...) is to

be chosen. Then the default file name can

be changed.

After executing with „Save“ you‘ll find the

new User Voice („Sampling“) in an automa-

Mac users need to know that on the cur-

rent state of the software it is not possible

to store a User Voice directly on the volume

„Macintosh HD“. It has to be stored on an

external storage medium. If no storage me-

dium is connected, no volume is available

for storing.

The easiest way is to store the User Voices

right from the Voice Manager on a connec-

ted SD Card. A SD card is included with the

Tenori-On. However, you should make a

backup copy of your User Voice files on the

hard disk of your computer.

Another tip for file management:

It is recommended to keep a copy of the

samples (WAV/AIFF format) used in a User

Voice in a folder with the name of the User

Voice. This simplifies the programming

of a new User Voice based on the same

samples.

USEFUL TIPS FOR

SAMPLING

A simple method is to simply load samples

of any length into the editor. The unusable

part (all after the first 0.97 seconds) will au-

tomatically be cut off. It thus creates a kind

of „gated sound“.
