NOTE: Because it takes time for a hard disk to actually find the data and play it back, it is

necessary to be able to set a fixed offset so that the disk always has enough time to find

the take and play it back in sync with any other material that may be playing (for example,

when sequencing programs in the S3000XL). The DELAY field is of use in that you can

set the S3000XL to start recording after a certain delay when it receives a MIDI note-on.

This same note-on can then be used to playback the take in sync with other material.

By setting a fixed offset of, say, 400mS in the DELAY field and advancing the MIDI note-

on in the sequencer by the same amount (i.e. making it 400mS earlier), you can start

recording at a predetermined time. After you have made the recording, you can have that

take play back from the same point. The SONG mode (described later) always uses these

delays to ensure accurate synchronised playback so being able to select to initiate

recording with a fixed delay in the RECORD SETUP page allows you to record a take with

the offset and then assign it to a SONG (where the offset is always used) without

constantly having to re-edit the position of the note on your sequencer.

This shows the amount of free time left on disk.

Here you may set the length of the recording you wish to make. If you are

unsure of the length of the recording you are about to make, simply set a

long record time. Wasted disk space can always be edited out and

retrieved afterwards in the EDIT page.

This field sets the note that will initiate the recording when either

or is selected in the field. It also sets the

note that will trigger playback after it has been recorded. This may be

edited after you have made the recording if you wish.

This is an abbreviation of CHANNEL and sets the MIDI channel for the

recording when triggering from MIDI. The default is 16 but you may select

from 1-16.

This sets the playback level of the recording. This does not affect the

record levels which are set using the front panel REC LEVEL control.

This sets the pan position of a mono recording and the left/right balance

of a stereo recording.

This sets the level of the signal that will be sent to the assignable

individual outputs.

This sets the destination of the take. The default is OFF but you may set

these to any of the individual outputs you want. You will note that the

individual output assignment is done in pairs-i.e. 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8. If the

take is stereo then it will be reproduced in stereo through these outputs. If

the take is mono, it will appear in mono through both outputs. If, however,

the take is mono but you only wish to use one output (perhaps in order to

use the other outputs for programs), then select the appropriate pair but

set the pan: parameter to L50 or R50 accordingly. If you wish the take to

only appear at the individual output(s) you have selected, please set the

parameter to 00 - this will mix the take out of the stereo outputs

and so it will only appear at the individual outputs selected here.

At any time, you can audition an existing take by pressing the ENT/PLAY key which will

cause it to play back.
