Playback Pitch (PITCH): -24 – +24
Determines the pitch of the playback sound in semitone
increments. PITCH can be varied from two octaves below
(-24) to two octaves above (+24) the original pitch of the
sampled sound.
Playback Pitch Fine Tuning (PITCH FINE): -100 –
+100
Permits fine tuning of the playback pitch in one-cent
increments (a cent is 1/100th of a semitone).
24. FREEZE 2
The FREEZE 2 program allows looped playback of the
sampled sound.
The REC. MODE, TRG. DLY, RECORD, OVERDUB,
START, END, PITCH and PITCH FINE parameters of the
FREEZE 2 program are exactly the same as those of the
FREEZE 1 program. Only the following parameters are
different.
Playback Loop Point (LOOP): 0 – 5800 milliseconds
As in the END parameter of FREEZE 1, this parameter sets
the end point of the sampled sound, but in the FREEZE 2
program playback is immediately resumed from the START
point as soon as the LOOP point is reached. The sampled
sound will therefore play continuously as long as the trigger is
held ON.
Loop Fine Adjust (LOOP FINE): -200 – +200
This parameter allows fine adjustment of the LOOP end point,
making it possible to create the smoothest transition between
the LOOP and START points.
40. STEREO FREEZE
STEREO FREEZE has the same parameters as the FREEZE 1
program, but has shorter TRG. DLY, START and END
parameter ranges to allow independent sampling of left and
right channel signals.
TRG. DLY: -2900 – +1000 milliseconds
START, END: 0 – 2900 milliseconds
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Please note that the FREEZE 2 program has only the BASE
KEY internal parameter.
Input Trigger (INPUT TRG): OFF, ON
Determines whether playback can be triggered by an input
signal of sufficient level.
Analog Trigger (ANALOG TRG): OFF, ON
Determines whether playback can be triggered by an analog
signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack.
Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 30000 milliseconds
This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger playback
function until the programmed time has elapsed.
Base Key (BASE KEY): OFF, C1 – C6
This parameter sets the “BASE KEY” for an external MIDI
synthesizer used to control pitched playback of the sampled
sound (the MIDI OUT terminal of the synthesizer must be
connected to the SPX1000 MIDI IN terminal, and the
SPX1000 must be set to receive on the MIDI channel on
which the synthesizer is transmitting). If, for example, the
BASE KEY parameter is set to C4, pressing the C3 key on the
synthesizer (C3 is one octave lower than C4) will cause the
sampled sound to play one octave lower than its normal pitch.
If a key more than two octaves higher or lower than the BASE
KEY is pressed, the resultant pitch change setting will still be
within the -24 to +24 range, as shown in the illustration
below. If the BASE KEY parameter is set OFF, pitch cannot
be controlled via the MIDI IN terminal.
