Yamaha A3000 Owner's Manual - Page 42

Starting Out Memo Notice that the SETUP function we are working with consists of a number of different pages. In general, most functions comprise multiple pages. You can always switch among these pages by turning Knob 1. (As an alternative, you can also switch pages by pressing the currently lit function key.) 6. Be sure that the ToPgm ("To Program") setting, above Knob 5, is on. Memo • Note that samples are intended to serve as constituents of a more complex sound, or program. The only way to play a sample, in fact, is to place it into a program. By setting the ToPgm value to on, you are telling the A3000 to place the newly recorded sample into the currently selected program, so that you will be able to play it back immediately after recording. For more information about the relation between samples and programs, refer to Chapter 3. (70) • Notice that the A3000 automatically assigns the default name _NewSample to the sample that you are about to record. Although you can change this name either before or after recording, in this example we will leave the name as it is. 7. Turn Knob 1 to the right two more clicks to move to the Trigger page. w Your screen should look like this. 8. Turn Knob 2 to set StartBy to ManOnly (manual only). w The screen now looks like this. Memo The StartBy setting selects the trigger that will start the recording. The ManOnly setting means that the A3000 will not begin recording until you push the >START knob. If you set the value to SrcIn, the A3000 will begin recording immediately when the input level reaches some preset trigger level. (234) 40 Chapter 2 Trying It Out
