SINGLE MODE
Page 42 CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual
• When you assign a new program to the setup, its level, pan, effects routings are recalled
with it. This may be an advantage for some users but it does mean you have to reset the
mix every time you replace one sound with another. Furthermore, even though a
program’s effects channel is recalled when you assign a new program to the multi-timbral
setup, the effects preset associated with that effects channel may be different and so
cause unpredictable results.
• You can’t name a set up and so you can’t see the multi-timbral setup referred to by name
when you come to load it.
Basically, there are pros and cons to both methods - it’s up to you to decide which you want to
use depending on your application. At least you have the flexibility to use either. The big
advantage is that you may load older sound library material and use it with no conversion
process or editing required. As mentioned, whether you choose to convert older Akai sound
data into CD3000XL ‘format’ using the MULTI mode is up to you depending on your
application.
