Should it be called a thousecond :lol: Have I got this wrong or am I getting confused over nothing?

Trying to work this out....

Yamaha SPX90 FX processor...

It has a freeze function which records 2000.0 milliseconds

Which is basically, if I am right 2 seconds?

How many samples are captured and how much memory is used up when recording at 31.25 kHz @ 16bits

I am guessing its 31.25 X 2 = Samples captured

Because 31.25 kHz is the amount of samples captured per second and we got 2 seconds there.

How I work out how much memory that amount takes up is beyond me

Is it something like 31.25khz X 16 = totall amount of memory used?

Can anyone help me?? It looks complicated but I think its probably simple when you know.

Anyone....

:lol:
Pretty please :lol:

a milli second is 1000th of a second

check this for all your prefixes

"Note: A very common mistake is that the prefix milli- stands for a millionth.
WRONG!!
As can be seen from the table above, milli stands for a thousandth. It comes from the French, mille for 1000 - they could not use it for the 1000 prefix as that was bagged by the Greek word, kilo"
