American Audio DCD-PRO1000

Changing the Sample Parameters:

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

parameter values for the pitch range from -0 94~0 00~+0 94 and volume values range from 0 00 to

2 55 (0 00 being the lowest). A higher value will increase the pitch percentage or volume. It's impor-

tant 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 PARAMETERS TIME BUTTON

(2). One tap will display SP +0 00 in the LCD DISPLAY (16). 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 wheel in a counter-clockwise

direction will decrease the parameters value.

Changing the Sample Parameters - Volume

While a sample is playing push the PARAMETERS RATIO BUT-

TON (3). One tap will display SR 0 00 in the LCD DISPLAY (16).

SR will signify the volume 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 the volume. Turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise

direction will decrease the parameters value.

Changing the Sample Parameters - Hold Function

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

parameter adjustments, if the hold function is not activated all your

parameter adjustments will be momentary. If you use the HOLD

BUTTON (6) all parameters will remain in the unit's memory until

they are changed again or main power is shut off, unless they are

stored in to the unit's memory (see page 26 System Memory).
