SINGLE MODE
CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual Page 33
This is an abbreviation of TRANSPOSE and sets the basic octave range for the
program. The range is +/- 50 semitones. You will note that this is not a pitch
shift function as such but a MIDI transpose function - this overcomes the
problem of playing back samples out of their range. What this function does is
introduce an offset so that, even if you play C3 on the keyboard, this is offset
to play the samples on C4 (with a +12 setting) - it is not playing the samples on
C3 an octave higher.
NOTE: It must be said that this page is really an inheritance from earlier Akai samplers when
using multi-timbral setups. We strongly recommend that for such purposes, you use the MULTI
mode but retaining these functions ensures compatibility with data created on earlier models. If
you have used Akai samplers before, you may continue to work in this way, of course, but, as
mentioned, the new MULTI mode may be more convenient
SETTING PROGRAM LOUDNESS AND VELOCITY
In the page, you may set the program’s overall loudness and velocity sensitivity:
The parameters are:
This sets the overall loudness for the program and affects the level appearing
at the main left/right outputs, the individual outputs and the real-time digital
audio output. It will also affect the level going to the internal effects.
NOTE: You will note that at a setting of 99, the program is at maximum level but you will not
have any velocity sensitivity.
This sets the program’s sensitivity to velocity. As mentioned, with
set to 99, this parameter will have no effect.
