IMPORTANT NOTE - SAVING RECORD PARAMETERS TO DISK
It is possible to save your own set of record parameters to disk. By setting the parameters as
you need them, save the operating system to floppy disk (go to SAVE, move the cursor to
‘type of load:’ and select OPERATING SYSTEM. Now press WIPE and/or GO). This will save
your personal record parameters to disk. From now on, when you boot up with this floppy in the
drive, these record parameters will always be set for you. If you have a particular way of working,
this may be invaluable and a great time saver.
If you have several different ways of working, you might like to save different record set-up
parameters to different disks and use the appropriate operating system as and when you need
it. You will note that you cannot save several operating systems on one disk - you will need a
separate disk for each system you save. Please refer to the SAVE section for more information
on saving files.
THE MAIN RECORD PAGE
Press F2 for recording. The following screen appears if the “source” parameter has been set to
ANALOG or DIGITAL in the SET-UP page.
This is the main record screen. In this example, we can see that a sample called STRING C4 is
selected. Before you can do any recording, you must name the sample you are about to
record. If you have just switched the CD3000XL on with no disk in it, you will have the four
synth waveforms in there. Use one of these as the basis of your new sample.
RECORDING FROM AUDIO CDs
Using the internal CD-ROM player, the CD3000XL allows you to record data from audio CDs.
Possibly the most useful application for this is to record directly from ‘sampling’ CDs. A sampling
CD is a CD made especially for sampling that contains the individual sounds of various
instruments such as synthesizer, drums, orchestra, and sound effects, etc..
NOTE: Read the restrictions regarding copyright described at the beginning of this chapter.
When you select “CD-AUDIO”, you will see a window in the centre of the screen in which you
can select a track(s) and an index . To change a track, move the cursor to the field, and
select the desired track. If the selected track contains some indexed recordings, move the
cursor to the field to select an index.
You can use the following soft keys as transport keys to play back a sampling CD.
Pressing this key will cause the sampling CD to play from the start point of the
selected track.
Pressing this key will stop playback.
Pressing this key will “rewind” the CD.
Pressing this key will “fast forward” the CD.
