Chapter 5 TRIM/LOOP Function Knob 3 End = start address,..., final address Realtime Set • Sets the playback "end" address on the waveform. • The actual playback endpoint also depends on the loop-mode setting that you make at the Wave Mode page. (168) • The EndType setting on the Configure page selects the units used to indicate the end address on the screen (161). If you set EndType to beat, the end address is indicated by its distance, in beats, from the start address. The beat calculation is determined by the Tempo setting that you make with Knob 4; see directly below. If EndType (in the Config page) ≠ beat: Knob 4 Step = ×1,...,×10000 • This knob selects the increment used for address adjustments made with Knobs 2 and 3. Specifically, the value that you set here determines the amount that the ad- dress value changes when you turn Knob 2 or Knob 3 by a single click. • The setting is identical to the Step setting on the Loop page (167). You can change the value from either page. • If the EndType parameter on the Config page (163) is set to beat, then this knob operates differently, as described below. If EndType (in the Config page) = beat: Knob 4 Knob 5 Tempo = 80.00,...,159.99 Calculate Tempo • This knob sets the tempo used to calculate the number of beats between the start address and end address. • The setting is identical to the Tempo setting on the Loop page (167). You can change the value from either page. • If you push the knob, the A3000 automatically calculates and displays the tempo value for you, based on the assumption that the number of beats between the current start and end addresses is 4 beats (or an even multiple or dividend of 4 beats.). • If the EndType parameter on the Config page (163) is set to a value other than beat, then this knob operates differently, as described above. >Extract Push this knob to "trim" the waveform, deleting all waveform data ahead of the start address and all waveform data located after the end address. This operation reduces the size of the sample and frees up additional waveform memory. Start Address End Address Start Address End Address Extract When you push the knob, the A3000 returns a confirmation screen. Push Knob 5 (>YES) to proceed, or Knob 4 (>NO) to cancel. Note that the deleted waveform area cannot be recovered (unless you have already saved the data to disk.) Chapter 5 EDIT Mode 165
