PERFORMING A RE-SAMPLE
First, create a new sample - re-sampling is a copy process and so you have to create a new
sample by pressing NAME, entering a new name and pressing ENT. If you wish to use either of
the two preset sampling rates, simply press either or - this will re-sample the
original to three quarters or two thirds the original frequency. Alternatively, set a value of your
choosing in the field and press .
If you have not named the new sample you will receive the prompt:
You should input a unique name. During the re-sampling process (which is very quick but does
depend on the length of the sample) you will receive the message:
When the process is complete, you can play the new sample you have created by pressing the
key (F8) and you can make very fast comparisons by pressing and the ENT/PLAY
key alternatively.
You can use the re-sampling facility to save on memory. In the studio where you have time to
load in new sounds this may not be so crucial but on-stage, you ideally need to cram as much
into the CD3000XL as possible. Even with 32 Megabytes of RAM installed, there will be
occasions where you need to squeeze that little bit more out of the samplers internal memory.
In this respect, the re-sampling functions are ideal. In fact, given that listening conditions at a
gig are nowhere near as critical as in the studio, you could afford to make special ‘gig disks’
where the bandwidth is more limited than it could be to save even more space in your memory.
