EDIT Mode To create a program at same the time... If you want to edit a sample (bank) and assign it to a new program, you can do it this way: (1) Select PLAY | PROGRAM; (2) go to the PgmSel page and turn Knob 2 or 3 to select a new (unused) program; (3) select PLAY | SAMPLE; (4) go to the SmpSel page, turn Knob 2 or 3 to select the sample (bank), and then turn Knob 4 to set the ToPgm switch to on. Then press the EDIT mode button to enter editing mode. If necessary, you can later switch to PLAY mode and apply further editing at the program level. To edit a sample (bank) without assigning it to a program... Use the procedure described directly above - since you want to temporarily assign the sample to a program so that you can use a MIDI keyboard to monitor the sound of your editing results. Then when you have finished editing the sample (bank), go back to the PLAY | SAMPLE SmpSel page and set the ToPgm switch to off to remove the sample (bank) from the program. To select a sample from a sample bank, for independent editing... If you need to edit a sample from a sample bank, proceed as follows: (1) Select PLAY | SAMPLE and go to the SmpBank page, (2) turn Knob 2 to select the sample bank, and (3) turn Knob 3 or 4 to select the sample. Then press the EDIT mode button to enter editing mode. Important Remember to save your edited sample and sample banks to disk (147). All unsaved data is lost when you switch off the A3000. FYI It is usually possible to switch directly from one sample to another while working in EDIT mode. To switch to a different sample, push Knob 1 on the edit screen you are working at. If switching is supported, the A3000 will now display the Program/Sample selection screen. Turn Knob 2 or 3 to select the next sample you want to edit. Then press Knob 1 again to return to the previous edit screen, with the new sample now selected. 146 Chapter 5 EDIT Mode
