TRIM/LOOP Function If you push this knob while playing the sample with the AUDITION key or an external keyboard, the loop start address automatically resets to the current playback location. Knob 3 LpEnd = loop start address,..., final address Realtime Set • Sets the end point (loop-back point) of the loop. • Note that actual loop handling depends on the loop-mode setting. (168). • The EndType setting on the Configure page selects the units used to indicate the address on the screen (161). If you set EndType to beat, the loop end address is indicated by its distance, in beats, from the loop 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 address value changes when you turn Knob 2 or Knob 3 by a single click. • The setting is identical to the Step setting on the Wave page (165). 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 Wave page (165). 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. LpMonitr = -500ms,...,0ms Monitor Loop Push this knob to monitor the sound of the loop. This feature lets you hear how the sound of the loop changes as you edit the loop addresses. The LpMonitr setting lets you start the monitored loop playback slightly ahead of the loop start point. If you set the value to -500ms and then press the knob, for example, the A3000 begins replay from a point 1/2 second before the loop start. (This lead-in is played only once, and does not recur after the loop is entered.) Chapter 5 Chapter 5 EDIT Mode 167
