This page lists what can be loaded on an EPS-16 PLUS again, sorted into five groups by where the data comes from. Only the first group consists entirely of data exactly as it is on the drive. The other groups contain additions, and each table says what was added. Files that were saved on the drive later by another user are not included. Back to RammWiki:Test4.
A sound button plays a recording of the file on an emulated EPS-16 PLUS (see #About the recordings). Sequences and effects have no sound of their own and are not recorded.
| Group | Files | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Original | 476 | Every byte is the file's own data, read from the drive. |
| 2. Extracted | 25 | Complete sequences cut out of other data. Nothing is changed. |
| 3. Injected | 62 | Parts that lie on the drive without their file, held together by a newly written file header so that the sampler can load them. The parts themselves are unchanged. |
| 4. Inferred | 21 | Known files with missing parts. The missing parts are filled in, and the table says with what. |
| 5. Substitute | 1 | A lost file, replaced by a complete file of the same name and size from another folder. |
1. Original
476 files. Every byte is the file's own data.
- 403 files in the folders are complete and unchanged; they are listed, with their recordings, on Files by folder.
- 67 deleted files are complete; they are listed on Deleted files and loose parts.
- 6 files are complete, but their folder entry or their entries in the block table are wrong. Their data was read in full by following the file's own structure:
| File | Folder | Type | What is wrong | Sound |
|---|---|---|---|---|

2. Extracted
25 sequences. A song file contains its sequences; these were cut out of the remains of two songs and out of free space, complete and unchanged. A sequence holds notes, not sounds: which instruments play it is stored in a bank, so these sequences are not recorded on their own.

3. Injected
62 files made from parts that lie on the drive without their file. Each part is unchanged; only the new file around it is added.
Groups of layers and wavesamples
The 28 groups from Instrument parts without their file, with the same numbers. Each group is given a new instrument header and the sampler's default effect. Where no layer is left, a new layer puts each wavesample on the keys its own settings name.

Audio without a file
The 20 stretches of audio from Audio without a file. Each is wrapped in a new instrument that plays it as 16-bit audio at 29 762 samples per second, the rate of most samples on the drive. Their own rate is not stored, so pitch and speed are only right if they were recorded at that rate.

Sequence track data and effects
- 4 sequences made from track data without a sequence header (at blocks 186 249, 186 321, 201 949 and 201 954), each given a new header.
- 7 effects that lie in free space in the form in which an instrument stores its effect, saved as effect files:
HERZE T+REV,LAICH +REV,HALL REVERB(twice),RESON MINISTandNESON LAICH(twice). Only the first 8 bytes (size and object number) differ from the drive.

Songs and sequences
SCHNULZG **(LAGER/LAGERSEQ): the song table and step list come from the copy of the song's start that eight banks contain; blocks 3 to 13 are the song's own blocks. Two versions:SCHNULZG **with the step list of six banks, andSCHNULZG **2with the earlier step list of two banks (its first step plays sequence 6 instead of 10). Recordings with each of the eight banks are on Songs.ACIDSONG **(LAGER/LAGERSEQ): its own 11 surviving blocks. Sequence 9 gets an end mark, and the lost sequences 10 to 12 are taken out of the song's table. The step list is unchanged and plays only sequences 10 to 12, so the song loads but does not start; sequences 1 to 9 and the song tracks can be used.- Six sequences whose end is lost:
SEQUENCE 09ofACIDSONG **,FLEISCH 6,SEQUENCE 08,FEUER BASS,GLAS SONG 4andFEUERFINI 5. Every complete event is kept, and an end mark is added.

About the recordings
The recordings come from an emulation of the EPS-16 PLUS: a program that reproduces the sampler's chips and runs its original operating system 1.30, with the global settings stored on the drive. The sampler loaded each file from a copy of the drive, as it would from the drive itself. A recording made this way can differ in small details from the sound of a real EPS-16 PLUS.
Instruments. Each wavesample is played once: on its root key, or on the nearest key it is mapped to, with velocity 100, in the first patch whose layers include it. The note is held for up to 4 seconds (a sample without a loop only as long as it lasts) and then released. The next note follows when the sound has died away, at the latest 10 seconds after the release. Where layers lie on top of each other, one note sounds several wavesamples. Wavesamples that no key or patch reaches are not played.
Songs and sequences. The bank is loaded first: it loads its instruments into tracks 1 to 8 and sets their volume and position. Then the song is loaded and played once from its first step to its end. A song that would start over is stopped at the end of the pass. Sequences that the song's step list does not play are played once on their own, with the same bank.
Outputs. The main outputs carry the stereo mix after the effects. Wavesamples set to AUX1 bypass the effects and leave the sampler only through the OEX-6 output expander; where they are used, the AUX1 output is given as a second recording. With the global settings on the drive, the click (metronome) runs during playback and goes to AUX1 only, so the AUX1 recordings of songs contain the click.
Sample rate. The sampler's output runs at 29 762 samples per second. With the effect DUB DELAYS loaded, it runs at 44 643 samples per second. The recordings on this wiki are MP3 copies at 44 100 samples per second.
