RECORDING-SETUP If Input is set to DIGITAL or OPTICAL: ext, ext/2, ext/4, ext/8 • ext ... The sample is recorded at the input sampling frequency. • ext/2 ... The sample is recorded at 1/2 the input sampling frequency. • ext/4 ... The sample is recorded at 1/4 the input sampling frequency. • ext/8 ... The sample is recorded at 1/8 the input sampling frequency. • The higher the sampling frequency the higher the sound quality, but samples recorded at higher frequencies use up correspondingly more memory/disk space. For most applications the standard 44.1 kHz sampling frequency is the best choice. • When converting to 22k, 11k, or 5k, the A5000/ A4000 applies a filter to eliminate noise produced by the conversion. The "LoFi" settings switch the filter off, resulting in a rougher sound. • If you select a frequency other than 44.1, the quality that you hear when monitoring the signal may not match the quality of the actual recording. • For DIGITAL and OPTICAL inputs, the A5000/A4000 supports the following three clock frequencies only: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, and 32kHz. The A5000/A4000 can not accept input frequencies other than these. Note also that the A5000/A4000 does not filter out noise when reducing the frequency to ext/2, ext/4, or ext/8. Also note that if you reduce the frequency, the quality that you hear when monitoring the signal may not match the recording quality. • Note that you can not use the DIGITAL OUT connector (on the AIEB1 expansion board) to monitor the input signal. Note also that A5000/A4000's DIGITAL OUT frequency is fixed at 44.1kHz. Knob 5 [ Turn] Pre Trigger "Pre-trigger" means that recording actually begins the specified number of milliseconds (a millisecond is 1/ 1000th of a second) before recording is started, either manually or by automatic triggering. [Range] 0ms - 500ms • This feature ensures that the beginning of samples won't be cut off. Even if you press the (>START) knob a little late when recording a sample, an appropriate amount of pre-trigger time ensures that you'll capture the initial attack of the sample. The maximum setting of 500 milliseconds is actually a half a second, which should be more than enough for most applications. • Pre-trigger can also be useful when automatically triggering recording with a start edge trigger level setting (TRIGGER functions, page 158). Edge triggering can cut off the initial attack of some sounds, and an appropriate pre-trigger setting can completely avoid this problem, allowing the full attack of the source to be faithfully recorded. • The Pre Trigger parameter is not available if "StOut" is selected for the Input parameter (Knob 2).

Knob 2 [ Turn] Stereo Level Sets the recording level when StOut is selected as the recording source. [Range] -12 - +12 • The parameter can only be edited when StOut is selected as the input. Knob 3 [Display] Disk, Volume When the Record Type is set to →Save, the selected disk and volume are displayed. • The actual disk and volume are selected via the DISK mode VOLUME parameter (page 172). 156 Chapter 6 RECORD Mode • A5000/A4000 q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
