EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE

S3000XL Operator’s Manual Page 91

For layering sounds, you might like to set something like the following:

Here we have assigned two identical synth samples to zones 1 and 2 and, as in the

stereo program above, both have a velocity range of 0-127. In the SMP2 page, these can

be detuned against each other and panned hard left and right to create a fat, warm,

pseudo-stereo synth sound. This is a quick way of achieving this kind of sound. Of course,

they don’t have to be identical samples - anything will do. The trick with this method is that

both samples share the same processing with the filters and envelope generators making

adjustment and editing very simple.

If you want to be more adventurous, you could use totally separate keygroups for layering

synth sound (or acoustic sounds, for that matter) and each could have different envelope

and filter characteristics.

The parameters in this page are:

This shows the current keygroup’s key range as set in the SPAN page. It

can be altered here if you wish.

This shows the currently selected keygroup and allows you to select others

using the DATA control. As always in PROGRAM EDIT, you may quickly

select a keygroup by holding the EDIT PROG select key and playing an

appropriate note on the keyboard.

Here you can select to edit ONE or aALL keygroups.

NOTE: Selecting ALL doesn’t apply to assigning samples when using the DATA control.

Only one sample is assigned and the other keygroups remain unchanged even if ALL is

selected.

Of course, as usual, the name of the current program is shown at the top right hand of

the screen.

This shows the four zones in the column below. You will notice that in all

SMP pages, as you play, a small dot appears alongside the field to

signify which zone is playing - this is useful in identifying which sample is

playing in a complex velocity switched program.

This shows the sample(s) currently assigned to the zone(s). If a sample

name is assigned but it does not exist in the S3000XL’s memory, a “?” will

appear alongside it to indicate that it is missing. To assign a sample,

simply move the cursor to this field and scroll through the available

samples in memory with the DATA control.

To delete a sample from a zone, simply move the cursor to it, press NAME

and replace the name with blanks. To erase a group of samples in the

same zone in different keygroups, do the same but with ALL selected.
