ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual has been written to allow you to get the most out of your new sampler. Please take
the time to read it as a fuller understanding of the instrument will enable you to use the
CD3000XL’s remarkable facilities to the full. Not only are the controls and screens explained in
detail but you will find hints and tips to help you with your sampling and programming. If you are
new to sampling or synthesisers, some of the sections explain the basic principles behind the
techniques employed in the CD3000XL so if words like “bandpass”, “modulation”, “diffusion”,
“multi-timbral” and “sample rates”, etc., are unfamiliar to you, we hope that this manual is not
just a boring explanation of functions but something you can refer to for information beyond
the scope of the CD3000XL. Even if you’re a seasoned programmer, we hope that there is
information in this manual that you find useful..
