PLAY-SAMPLE Knob 4 [ Turn] RchASSIGN (Receive Channel Assign) Determines whether the selected sample will or will not be used in the current program. Set this parameter to "off" if the sample is not be used in the program, or set to the MIDI receive channel via which the sample is to be controlled. [Range] Program Mode = Single: A01 - B16 (01 - 16 on the A4000), Bch (Basic Receive Channel), =smp (the receive channel set for the sample), off. Program Mode = Multi: Any part number assigned to the current program (A01 - B16 on the A5000; 01 - 16 on the A4000), off • An alert message will appear on the display if you attempt to turn a sample which has easy-edit settings "off," and you will be asked whether it is OK to delete the easy-edit settings. If you then press Knob 5 (>YES) the easy-edit settings will be deleted and the Rch ASSIGN parameter will be turned off. • If Knob 2 selects a sample that belongs to a bank, therefore, the RchASSIGN setting is blanked out (a "- -" appears in the setting area). • Selecting too many overlapped samples (samples with identical or overlapping key ranges) may cause a delay in playback. In general, you should set your program up such that no key (on the keyboard) produces sound from more than four monaural samples (or 2 stereo samples). [ Press] RESERVE Pressing this knob has the same effect as temporarily turning the receive channel assignment for the sample used in the program "off." When pressed the receive channel assignment for the selected channel will appear in brackets, and that sample will not sound. Press the knob a second time to restore normal playback. • This function will not work when a sample bank is selected or with samples for which the receive channel assignment is turned "off." Knob 5 [ Turn] Shortcut Command This knob positions the cursor within the sub-mode window to select one of the available shortcut commands. [Range] DUPLICATE, DELETE..., NEW BANK, SAVE..., RENAME... (See "The Shortcut Commands" below for details on each command) [ Press] EXECUTE Executes the shortcut command at the current cursor position. The Shortcut Commands s DUPLICATE Creates a copy of the sample selected via Knob 2. If you specify a sample contained in a sample bank to be duplicated, a confirmation display asking whether you want the duplicate to be made inside or outside the sample bank will appear. Press Knob 4 (>InBank) to create a duplicate in the sample bank, or Knob 5 (>Out Of Bank) to create a duplicate outside the sample bank. If you duplicate a sample bank, the A5000/A4000 duplicates both the bank and all of the samples within the bank. (The name for each new sample becomes: original name + "*".) • Immediately following the copy, the new version will have the same sound as the original version: it will have the same parameter settings, and will make use of the same waveform data. You can then edit the parameter data to customize the sound of the new sample. s DELETE... Deletes the sample or sample bank selected by Knob 2. Push the knob to delete the sample(s). The A5000/A4000 returns a confirmation screen. Press Knob 5 (>YES) to complete the deletion, or Knob 4 (>NO) to cancel. If you select a sample bank for deletion, the A5000/ A4000 screen will ask whether you want to also delete all of the samples within that bank. Push Knob 5 (>YES) to delete all samples together with the bank, or push Knob 4 (>NO) to delete the sample bank only, while leaving the samples in memory. s NEW BANK Use this page to create a new, empty sample bank in main memory. s SAVE... Saves data currently residing in memory to a disk. See page 208 for details. s RENAME... If you wish to set or change the program's name, press this knob to proceed to the name editing screen. For information about how to edit name strings, see "Character Entry" (page 81). 94 Chapter 4 PLAY 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 q q
