ME35T DRUM SETTINGS
Pressing displays the following screen:
The CD3000XL is capable of acting as a highly sophisticated percussion sampler using the
AKAI ME35T audio/MIDI trigger interface unit to produce MIDI trigger signals from a variety of
sources. Two such units may be connected, and programming may be carried out from the
CD3000XL rather than on the more limited displays and controls of the ME35Ts. For such
programming to take place, a ‘MIDI handshake’ must be set up, from IN to OUT and OUT to IN.
When two ME35T units are to be used together to provide 16 drum inputs, they should be
connected as shown on the right.
Since this is a manual for the CD3000XL, full details of the operation of the ME35T will not be
given here. Refer to the ME35T manual for operational details. However, note that to set up
the MIDI Exclusive channel on the ME35T, the MIDI CHAN and MIDI NOTE keys on the ME35T
should be pressed simultaneously. The following parameters on the ME35T may be set up
from the CD3000XL:
The name of the drum input settings may be altered by pressing NAME, typing in the name
followed by ENTER.
The parameters on this page are as follows:
Either one of two ME35Ts may be selected for parameter editing here.
Selecting ALL allows the inputs to be globally edited to rough values, and
then individual (1-2) inputs may be selected for fine adjustment. This method
of working can save you a lot of time.
Here you may select the MIDI channel for the selected input.
