SAMPLE
CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual Page 127
Pressing this key will pause playback of the CD. Using this key and the REW
and FF keys allows you to locate the top of the part you wish to start sampling.
This is not a transport key, but will cause the CD3000XL to enter sampling
mode.
You can rename and copy samples in the same way as in analogue recording. You cannot
change the recording level, which has been already set to the optimum level in the factory.
Press the PLAY key (F3), then follow the normal analogue recording procedure.
NOTE: To start recording, the CD player should be in playback or pause mode.
NAMING SAMPLES IN THE RECORD PAGE
To create a new sample or rename an existing one, press the NAME key. You will see this
screen:
In conjunction with the CURSOR keys which can be used to move the cursor around within the
name, you can use the DATA control to scroll through characters.
When you have entered a unique name, you will see appear next to the sample
name indicating that the name you have entered is unique:
If does not appear, then a sample of the same name already exists in memory.
TIP 1: It is worth taking the time to name your samples sensibly. It may be quick to simply call
them SAMPLE 1, SAMPLE 2, 3, 4, etc., but, when you come to put them into a program,
these names may not mean much to you. If you return to them in a week they certainly won’t!
Names like PIANO C#3 are best - this tells you the instrument and the note it is sampled on so it
will be easier to set your program up later when you come to assign your samples to specific
keyranges.
TIP 2: If you are about to make a lot of recordings of a similar type, put the note number first
(i.e. C#3 PIANO, E 3 PIANO, G 3 PIANO, etc.). In this way, you don’t have to cursor through the
whole name to give the sample its unique note identifier.
Once you have named the sample, you are now ready to make a new recording. First, however,
let’s have a quick look at the parameters on this page.
You may select to record in MONO or STER(eo). When you opt to record in
stereo, two samples will be created and -L and -R will be appended to each of
them to indicate the left and right sample.
