Gemini PS-924 Sampler Operation, Output, Tapping the START/STOP 60 button with the MODE SELECTOR

1.Unscrew the outside FADER plate screws (B). Do not touch the INSIDE SCREWS (C).

2.Carefully lift the fader and unplug the CABLE (D).

3.Plug the new fader into the cable and place it back in the mixer.

4.Screw the fader to the mixer.

6.BEAT INDICATORS: Each side of the CROSSFADER (38) has its own BEAT INDICATOR (42, 44). They flash at the low frequency peak level of each assigned source, allowing you to match the beats visually. BEAT INDICATOR (42) will reflect the beat of the source assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (38) and BEAT INDICATOR (44) will do the same for the right side.

Note: The flashing level can be fine tuned by increasing or decreasing the gain and bass controls of the assigned channel.

7.OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the AMP OUT (66) is controlled by the MASTER (33) slide. The BALANCE (34) control will allow the Amp Out signal to be balanced between the left and right speakers. The MONO (35) switch, when depressed, (the MONO LED (36) will glow), will make the Amp Out signal a mono signal. The BOOTH (37) control adjusts the level of the BOOTH

OUTPUT (68).

Note: The LED DISPLAY (48) indicates the AMP OUT (66) signal only and is not affected by the BOOTH OUTPUT (68) signal.

HINT: The booth OUTPUT is used by some DJs to run monitor speakers in their DJ booth. You can also use it as a second ZONE or AMP output.

Note: The RECORD OUT (67) has no level control. The level is set by the channel slides and the gain control of the selected channel. The tonal qualities are set by the bass, treble and mid controls of that same channel

8.TALKOVER SECTION: The purpose of the talkover section is to allow the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard above the music. When the TALKOVER ON/OFF (45) button is pushed (the TALKOVER INDICATOR (46) will glow), the volume of all sources except the DJ Mic and the Aux channel are reduced. The amount of reduction can be set between -6 dB and -36 dB by using the MUTE LEVEL (47) control.

9.SEND AND RECEIVE SECTION: By using the SEND ASSIGN (49) switch, you can send the selected signal to some sort of audio enhancement device (like a digital sampler or key controller). The level of the signal being sent can be adjusted by the SEND (50) control. To receive the signal back into the PS-924, you must first turn on the RCV ON (51) switch (LED (52) will light). The level of the signal being received can be adjusted with the RECEIVE (53) control.

Note: The signal being received back into the PS-924 can be monitored by using the headphones and by pressing the RECEIVE (54) cue control. If the RCV ON (51) switch is in the off position (LED (52) is off), the level of the signal can be monitored and adjusted prior to its playing through the output. Turning the RCV ON (51) switch to the on position connects the received signal to the output section.

HINT: The RECEIVE (81) input can be used as an additional stereo line level input controlled by the RECEIVE (53) and activated by the RCV ON (51) switch.

10.CUE SECTION: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE (4) jack, you can monitor any or all of the channels. CUE ASSIGN (55) buttons are for the channels 1 - 4 and the CUE ASSIGN (56) button is for the Aux Mic/Line Mono channel and the DJ Mic.

HINT: When you are using the DJ Mic and have a device connected to the DJ Mic Loop, the signal you hear in the headphones includes the device in the loop.

Select the correct Cue assign button or buttons and their respective LED indicators will glow. Use the HEADPHONE LEVEL (57) control to adjust the headphone volume with out effecting the overall mix. By rotating the CUE PGM PAN (58) control to the left you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal. Rotating to the right will monitor the PGM (program) output .

SAMPLER OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION: The PS-924 Sampler uses Dynamic RAM memory and a 12 bit microprocessor controller. The full bandwidth results in true sound reproduction.

MEMORY INFORMATION: The PS-924 comes equipped with five MEMORY BANKS (59). The two banks marked 2 & 2 are two seconds in length, the two banks marked 4 & 4 are four seconds in length and the bank marked 12 is twelve seconds in length. These banks are separate and can not be linked. You can store a different sample in each bank but they must be recorded individually and they must be played one at a time.

SAMPLERECORDING:

1.Put the MODE SELECTOR (62) switch into the WRITE position.

2.Select the source you want to sample from by pressing the appropriate ASSIGN BUTTON (61).

3.Select the memory bank you want to record into, by pressing the proper MEMORY BANK (59) button.

4.Model PS-924 is equipped with a SAMPLER REC/PLAY LEVEL (63) control. When the MODE SELECTOR (62) is in the WRITE mode, this control acts as a Record Level Control. If the OVERLOAD INDICATOR (62A) is blinking, it means that the input signal you are going to sample, is too strong and will cause he sample to be distorted. Lower the sample signal intensity by turning the SAMPLER REC/PLAY LEVEL (63) control counter clockwise. If the OVERLOAD INDICATOR (62A) is off, turn the SAMPLER REC/PLAY LEVEL (63) control clockwise until the OVERLOAD INDICATOR (62A) begins to blink and then turn the SAMPLER REC/PLAY LEVEL (63) control counter clockwise until the OVERLOAD INDICATOR (62A) goes off.

5.Tapping the START/STOP (60) button begins the sampling process (the SAMPLER INDICATOR (60A) will illuminate RED). Tapping the START/STOP (60) button a second time ends the sample (the SAMPLER INDICATOR (60A) will turn off). If you do not tap the START/STOP (60) button a second time, the sampling process will stop automatically after 2, 4 or 12 seconds depending on which MEMORY BANK (59) was selected.

SAMPLE PLAYBACK:

1.Put the MODE SELECTOR (62) switch into the SINGLE or REPEAT position.

2.Select the memory bank you wish to play by pressing the proper MEMORY BANK (59) button.

3.When the MODE SELECTOR (62) is in the SINGLE or REPEAT mode, the SAMPLER REC/PLAY LEVEL (63) control acts as a Sampler Level Control.

4.Tapping the START/STOP (60) button with the MODE SELECTOR

(62)switch in the SINGLE position will cause the sampler to playback one time (the SAMPLER INDICATOR (60A) will illuminate GREEN). Every push of the START/STOP (60) button will restart the sample from the beginning. Rapid pressing of the START/STOP (60) button will cause a stuttering effect. Once the sample has started playback and the START/STOP (60) button is not pushed a second time, the sample will play to the end and then stop (the SAMPLER INDICATOR (60A) will turn off).

5.Tapping the START/STOP (60) button with the MODE SELECTOR

(62)switch in the REPEAT position will cause the sample to continuously play over and over (the SAMPLER INDICATOR (60A) will illuminate GREEN). The START/STOP (60) button will act as an on/off switch. The first push will start the sample, the second push will stop it.
