American Audio CDI-500

Changing the Sample Parameters:

Changing the sample parameters allows you to change the sample's volume (SV) and pitch (SP). The

parameter values for the pitch range from -10:00 to +10:00 (-10:00 being the lowest) and volume val-

ues range from 00:00 to 02:55 (00:00 being the lowest). A higher value will increase the pitch percent-

age or volume. It's important to understand that the pitch value is basically a speed adjustment and

has nothing to do with tonal quality. The values can be either a momentary change or set adjustment.

The sample values are changed in three easy steps, while in sample playback mode:

Changing the Sample Parameters - Speed

While a sample is playing push the PARAMETER TIME KNOB (29). One

tap will display SP +0 00 in the LCD DISPLAY (30). SP will signify the pitch

percentage (speed) of the sample. +0 00 is your default setting - Normal

playback. Any adjustments will be based on this default setting. Turning the

knob in a clockwise direction will increase your pitch. Turning the knob in a

counter-clockwise direction will decrease the parameters value.

Changing the Sample Parameters - Hold Function

Hold Function - This mode will allow you to save and lock your param-

eter adjustments, if the hold function is not activated before you set your

parameters, your parameter adjustments will be momentary. If you select

the HOLD BUTTON (19) all parameters will remain until changed again or

power is shut off, unless they are stored in to the unit's memory.

Changing the Sample Parameters - Volume

While a sample is playing push the PARAMETER RATIO KNOB (25). One

tap will display SV 10 00 in the LCD DISPLAY (30). SV will signify the volume

of the sample. 02 55 is your default setting - Normal playback. Any adjust-

ments will be based on this default setting. Turning the knob in a clockwise

direction will increase the volume. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise

direction will decrease the parameters value.
