MULTI-MODE TRIGGER BUTTONS
By pressing the circular MODE button, you can choose the desired mode for the three trigger buttons shown above. There are
three modes available:
LOOP-2
:
In this mode the three TRIGGER BUTTONS act as another set of loop buttons that
behave in the same way as the buttons above them. This gives you the ability to set two
completely separate sets of loop points. For more information on looping, see the
following chapter.
HOT CUE
:
This mode will allow you to set up to three "hot cue points". These are similar to regular
cue points, except that when the TRIGGER BUTTONS are pressed, the unit will instantly
jump to the defined point and begin playing.
To define a hot cue point, make sure you are in hot cue mode by pressing the circular
MODE button until "Mode:Hot CUE" is displayed on the lower portion of the screen.
Press REC to arm recording, then press the desired TRIGGER BUTTON. Whatever
point you are at on the CD at the moment you press the TRIGGER BUTTON is the point
that will be recorded to the TRIGGER BUTTON. To instantly start playing from your hot
cue point just press the same TRIGGER BUTTON again.
SAMPLE
:
The third mode is sample mode. Sample mode allows you to record an audio sample up
to 5 seconds long, on each of the 3 TRIGGER BUTTON.
To record a sample, first make sure you are in sample mode by pressing the round
MODE button until the display shows "Mode:SAMPLES". Next, press and release REC
to arm recording. Then, when you press one of the three TRIGGER BUTTONS, the unit
will begin recording until you either press that TRIGGER BUTTON again to stop
recording or you run out of sample space.
To play back your sample, just press the appropriate TRIGGER BUTTON. Buttons with
samples assigned to them will be lit while unused buttons will be dark.
There are also three playback options you can choose for each of the three sample
TRIGGER BUTTONS. To choose a mode, hold the REC button, then while continuing to
hold REC, hold the desired TRIGGER BUTTON and turn the PARAMETER knob to
select the option you want to change. To modify the selected option, press down and
release the PARAMETER knob then turn the knob to the desired setting. Press down on
the PARAMETER knob to lock in that option choice.
The three playback options are:
Sample Insert
(On, Off): Determines whether the sample will override the currently
playing audio source or if it will be mixed together with the currently playing
audio source. With ‘On’ selected, the sample will override the playing audio,
while with ‘Off’ selected, the sample will be mixed in with the playing audio.
Sample Reverse
(On, Off): When on, this option will play the sample in reverse.
Sample Volume
(0-100): This setting controls the volume of the sample when
played back.
