We hope that this document has provided you with a better understanding of the S-50 Digital Sampler. The
operations we have covered such as sampling, creating Patches, Performance Disks, and Sub Tones, are
fundamental to the basic operation of the S-50. A thorough understanding of these concepts will be helpful when
you begin to create you own samples. For further information on these and more advanced operations, please
consult the S-50 Owner’s Manual.
