BASIC OPERATIONS (Cont.)

12. Using the Built In Sampler:

Your Radius 3000™ comes with an advanced built in sampler. You may store up to four samples in the four Bank buttons (28). Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT or a SAMPLE into a Bank button (28), not both. Your sample can be a maximum of 5.5 seconds in length. A sample can be recalled while a audio source is playing, while the media source is in PAUSE MODE, you may even play a sample when the audio source has been removed. You may play your sample at anytime without music inter- ruption. If you play your sample when the unit is already in playback mode your sample will over lap the current music source. You can also play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approximately four cue points per folder in a drives memory (depending on available memory).

To create a sample:

1)Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 21 and 22). If your loop is longer than 5.5 sec- onds it can not be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.

3)Select one of the four Bank Buttons (28) you wish to store your loop in and press that button.

locked into memory.

 

5) At this point your sample has been stored into memory. The original loop you

 

used to create the sample will remain playing until the OUT BUTTON (15) is

 

pressed (Figure 23).

 

6) Your sample can now be recalled at any time even

 

when the unit is in PAUSE MODE. To recall the

 

sample be sure the sample function is on, by press-

 

ing the Sample Button (27). The blue sample

 

button LED will turn on. To play your sample in a

 

continuos loop leave the sample function on. To

 

play your sample just once, turn the sample func-

 

tion off immediately after initiating your sample.

 

With the sample function on the sample will con-
