PLAYING TAKES
There are a number of ways you can play a take within the CD3000XL’s DD functions:
1 You can play a take in ANY page using the ENT/PLAY key
2 You can assign a series of takes to a SONG for sequential playback or for triggering from
MIDI.
3 You can play ‘raw’ takes from within the PLAY page and this is accessed in any of the DD
pages by pressing F3 - . Pressing this soft key will give this screen display:
In the PLAY page, you may audition ‘raw’ takes using the START option selected during the
record process. The fields on this page are as follows:
This shows the selected take. You can select other takes for playback by
scrolling through them using the DATA control.
This shows the sampling rate at which the selected take was recorded. If the
take is an analogue recording, this will always show 44100Hz. If the take was
recorded digitally it will show the rate at which it was recorded (i.e. 32kHz,
44.1kHz or 48kHz). You may adjust this in the event that a take recorded
digitally was, for some reason, recorded at the wrong sampling rate.
This allows you to set the playback rate for the selected take and may be used
like a tape machines varispeed control. Normally, this will be 00.00% but, for
special effects, you may wish to set a playback rate that is different to the takes
sampling rate. This parameter may be adjusted in real-time as the take is
playing.
This allows you to set a fade-in time for the take. The range is 0-9999
milliseconds (i.e. 0 to 10 seconds).
This allows you to set a fade-out time for the take. The range is 0-9999
milliseconds (i.e. 0-10 seconds).
This allows you to route the take to one of the four effects channels FX1, FX2,
RV3 or RV4 when the optional EB16 is installed.
This allows you to set the send level of the take to the effects channel
selected in the field.
Here, you can set the method by which a take will commence playback. The
options are:
- This will cause the take to commence playback as soon as you
press - F8.
- This will cause the take to playback when it receives the MIDI
note number set in the field described below after is pressed.
