Section 14 — Understanding Sampled Sounds TS-10 Musician’s Manual

Purchasing SIMMs

Since you will need to purchase your SIMMs before you bring them to an Authorized ENSONIQ

Repair Station for installation, here is some important information you should know about

purchasing the proper SIMMs:

• The TS-10 was designed to use either a pair of 1M x 8 (Macintosh) non-parity SIMMs or a pair

of 4M x 8 (Macintosh) non-parity SIMMs (not 1M x 9 or 4M x 9 parity SIMMs). We highly

recommend using this type of SIMMs.

• Use 30 pin (not 72 pin) SIMMs.

• We do not recommend using parity SIMMs (designed for IBM PC compatibles). These SIMMs

may not operate properly, and may cause damage to the TS-10.

How Many SIMMs?

The TS-10 offers two options for SIMMs:

• The TS-10 is shipped from the factory with two 1x8 non-parity SIMMs — 1 BankSet (S8) is

available (1 BankSet consists of 10 Sampled Sound Banks). The Sampled Sound BankSet will

hold 1MWord of Sampled Sound information, equivalent to 4018 blocks of memory.

• With two 4x8 non-parity SIMMs installed — 2 BankSets (S8 and S9) of 10 Sampled Sound

Banks each are available. Each Sampled Sound BankSet will hold 2MWords of Sampled

Sound information, for a total of 4 MWords, offering 8114 blocks of memory for BankSet S8,

and 8191 blocks for BankSet S9.

An Important Note About Electrostatic Discharge

SIMMs are susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) commonly known as “static.”

Electrostatic Discharge can destroy or damage SIMMs. Here are some procedures you should

follow when handling SIMMs in order to minimize the possibility of causing ESD damage:

1) Minimize the handling of SIMMs. Keep them in their static free packages until needed. Only

transport or store SIMMs in their protective packages.

2) When handling SIMMs, avoid touching the connector pins. Try to handle the SIMMs by the

edges only.

If you have any questions concerning the use of SIMMs, the TS-10, or for additional technical

support, please contact ENSONIQ Customer Service at (215) 647-3930 Monday through Friday

9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

Sampled Sound Configuration

Each Sampled Sound consists of up to eight Layers, and up to 127 WaveSamples. Each

WaveSample within a TS-10 Sampled Sound consists of the following:

• a digital oscillator playing a wave from memory

• two multi-mode digital filters

• one LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)

• one random NOISE generator

• three complex envelope generators for controlling pitch, filter, and volume

• a versatile matrix modulation scheme with 15 routable modulation sources
