IMPORTING SOUNDS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURER’S CD-ROMS
On the CD3000XL, as well as having access to a vast range of Akai sound library, you may also
import sounds from CD-ROMs made for certain samplers made by other manufacturers thereby
giving you access to even more sounds. This is done in the SCSI page.
Pressing F8 will show the following screen:
To load an Akai volume (as opposed to a whole CD-ROM volume), simply move the cursor to
the volume name field and press and/or . All programs that are contained in the
volume will be loaded.
To load a single program, move the cursor to the program you wish to load and press
and/or .
To load a program and all programs that follow it, move the cursor to the program field and
select the program you want to have as the first in the list of programs you will load. Now place it
at the top of the screen by using the DATA wheel, scrolling to place it at the top of the list
shown in the right of the screen. Move the cursor to the volume field and press and/or
. This will load the program shown at the top of the list and all those shown below it.
NOTE: If any programs below the select program are ‘off screen’, these will also be loaded.
For example, if in the above example, you want to load BRIGHT GRAND and all programs after
it, move the cursor to BRIGHT GRAND, scroll it to the top of the list using the DATA wheel and
press and/or .
NOTES REGARDING LOADING OTHER MANUFACTURERS SOUND LIBRARY
There are certain restrictions when loading sounds from other manufacturer’s CD-ROMs.
• Layered programs using several ‘presets’ or those made using several ‘patches’ will be
loaded as a single ‘preset’ or ‘patch’ into the CD3000XL. In this case, load all the single
‘elements’ (i.e. presets or patches) and layer them in the MULTI mode.
• If there are more than 128 programs in the volume, the CD3000XL will ‘wrap’ around’
programs 129 and onwards so that #129 becomes #1, #130 becomes #2, etc.. You can
renumber these on the CD3000XL if you wish in SINGLE or MULTI using the RNUM
function.
• Due to different sound parameter configurations amongst different samples, the
CD3000XL will convert certain program parameters to make them compatible with Akai
program parameters (sample data is not affected). However, this may cause the sound to
be slightly different in the CD3000XL and may require some ‘tweaking’ to sound the same
as the source sampler .
• You may find with samples that have a short loop that there may be differences in the loop
length. Use FIND or adjust the loop length manually on the CD3000XL.
