RECORDING ON THE CD3000XL
Assuming all your parameters are correctly set, all you need do is press . You will receive
the following prompt:
This indicates that either the threshold level has not been exceeded yet or, if MIDI NOTE is
selected as the start type in the RECORD SETUP page, that a MIDI note has not been
received. You may also start manually by pressing GO. If you change your mind when this
prompt is displayed (i.e. because you suddenly realise that continuing with the recording is
going to overwrite a valuable existing sample, for example), you may press EXIT. Assuming you
press GO (or any of the start types get the thing going), you will receive this display:
The display will fill up with the sound as it is recorded. You may, at any time, abort the recording
by pressing F8. This will finish the recording process early and abort that sample. This is useful
if some mistake is made during the record process or you were recording over another sample
you wanted to keep.
After the recording has finished, the monitoring of the incoming signal through the CD3000XL
is now automatically switched off allowing you to play the new sample directly from the
keyboard or the front panel ENT/PLAY key. To switch the monitoring back on again, press
- METER ON. When you press , the legend of that key changes to (i.e. this
key will switch monitoring OFF). If you wish to take the sample again, there is no need to switch
the meter back on again because pressing will do this automatically. If, however, you
wish to either listen to the source again (in the event of a mistake, perhaps) or set up for the
next sample, specifically press to switch the monitoring back on.
If after making a recording, you immediately want to make your next recording, simply switch the
monitoring back on again (press ), name the next sample and set a new base note if you
need to (the easiest way is from the keyboard but the meter does have to be switched on for
this - press ). Press to start recording again.
