NAMING FILES - THE NAME KEY
When samples, programs, effects or drum input settings are changed, they should be given a
name for easy reference.
NAME
Pressing the NAME button in certain pages enables you to name data. To name something,
simply press NAME and use the cursor keys to move around the name field and use the DATA
wheel to select the characters. The name is finalised by pressing the ENT/PLAY key.
THE ENT/PLAY KEY
Underneath the NAME key, you will see the ENT/PLAY key:
ENT/PLAY
This is a dual-purpose button. When naming samples, programs, etc., pressing this button will
end the naming process (sometimes in conjunction with COPY and REN(ame) functions). In
other modes of operation, this key will play the sound at a pitch, velocity and MIDI channel as
set in the GLOBAL mode. The default may be freely set as you wish.
NOTE: When editing samples in EDIT SAMPLE, pressing this button will play back the sample
at its correct pitch and not necessarily the one set in the GLOBAL pages.
LCD CONTRAST
Underneath the main volume control, you will find the DISPLAY CONTRAST CONTROL:
DISPLAY
CONTRAST
PUSH ON/OFF
You may adjust the viewing angle for the screen using the DISPLAY CONTRAST control.
NOTE: To preserve the life of your LCD, this control also has a switch which you can use to
turn the backlight of the LCD on or off. At times when you are not actively using the
CD3000XL’s front panel for programming (i.e. when actually sequencing or recording to tape,
for example, or when using the sampler live on stage), you might like to switch this off. All LCD’s
of this type progressively get dimmer with age and this switch can help prevent this. The switch
should be pushed in to switch the backlight off and pushed in again to switch it back on.
