CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual Page 267
USING THE PLAY PAGE
Although you may play takes from within any page of the DD functions and whilst the SONG
mode is provided either for sequential playback of many takes ‘back-to-back’ or for setting up
lists of takes that you may wish to trigger from MIDI, the PLAY page is provided for playing
individual takes in isolation and for setting their playback parameters prior to assigning them to a
song.
Assuming you have successfully recorded and edited a take, to play it back from the PLAY
page simply press (an abbreviation of ‘prime’). This gets the CD3000XL ready for the
incoming MIDI note or song start command by searching for the take selected here. You will
receive this screen display:
As soon as it receives the appropriate signal (i.e. that set in the field), it will start playing
back. As it is playing, the display will show:
You may press F8 - STOP - at any time to stop playback of the take. You may adjust any of the
parameters in the PLAY page as you wish and these are automatically saved as soon as you
leave this page.
If the take does not play back successfully, the reason is probably that the CD3000XL has not
received the appropriate start command as set in the field. For example, if
is selected and C3/Channel 16 is set but, for some reason, the sequencer does not send this
note on this channel (i.e. maybe the track set aside for take triggering on your sequencer has
been muted or switched off or the wrong note or channel are being transmitted), the selected
take will not play back. Similarly, if you have selected to trigger the take but your
sequencer does not send out a command in certain modes of operation, the take
will not trigger.
NOTE: Akai MPC60 owners will please note that a command is only issued
when the MPC60 is in its SONG mode. If you revert to the main screen to Play an individual
sequence, the selection will not be operative. The same is true of other
sequencers so please check your sequencer’s manual for more information.
