Chapter 8: Creating and Editing Sounds

because the Soft Start parameter (in the Edit a Sound screen)

is automatically set to the first sample which exceeded the

threshold. To hear the pre-record portion of the sound, you

must set the Soft Start field to an earlier position within the

sound.

COMMENT: The number entered here is actually the mini-

mum pre-record time. Because of the method the MPC3000

uses internally for sampling, pre-record time may be up to 20

milliseconds more than the number entered in this field, but

never less.

• The Meter section of the screen:

This is a simulation of an analog record level meter. While this

screen is present, the meter will constantly display the level of the

signal at the input. If stereo sampling is active, then the screen

changes to display two meters—one each for the left and right

inputs. In either case, the threshold setting is graphically repre-

sented by a T within the meter’s range. If the range is exceeded, ! is

displayed to the right of the meter’s range to indicate clipping. In

addition, a P shows the highest peak level received since the last

time the <Reset peak> soft key was pressed.

• The <Rec ready> soft key:

Pressing this soft key commands the MPC3000 to enter Record

Ready mode and the bottom line of the screen changes to:

Waiting for input signal... <Cancel>

During this time the MPC3000 stands ready to record, waiting for

the incoming audio to exceed the record threshold. If the <Can-

cel>

soft key is pressed, the Record Ready status is canceled and

the previous screen status is re-displayed. When the incoming audio

signal exceeds the record threshold, the bottom line changes to:

Recording... <Cancel>

When the entire sample has been recorded, the screen changes to:

=========== Sample New Sound ===========

Done. Press <Playback> to hear it, then

<Keep & name> or <Discard> to try again.
