The CUSTOM VOICE can then be edited via the CUSTOM VOICE CREATOR (page 51) allowing you to layer waveforms with other waveforms as voice "elements", and apply envelope generators, filtering, modulation, and other voice parameters as required. 2. You can select and use sampled waveforms within the CUSTOM VOICE CREATOR (page 56) with full editing control. Setting Up for Sampling s Connecting the Source ... The first step in setting up for sampling is to connect your source - microphone or line - to the PSR-8000. If you will be using a microphone, set the panel MIC/LINE selector to MIC, and plug your microphone into the MIC/ LINE IN jack. A standard dynamic microphone with an imped- ance of about 250 ohms is recommended (the PSR-8000 does PHONES MIC/LINE IN not support phantom-powered condenser microphones). If you will be sampling from a CD player or other line source set the panel MIC/LINE selector to LINE.You may have to use a stereo-to-mono cable or a "Y" cable to combine the left- and right-channel output signals from the source device for input to the PSR-8000's mono MIC/LINE IN jack. Line Source s Setting Levels ... Once your source is connected and the MIC/LINE selector is set to the appropriate position, you can use the INPUT VOLUME control in conjunction with the SIGNAL and OVER indicators to set the optimum input level. OVER SIGNAL Begin with the INPUT VOLUME control set all the way to MIC/LINE the MIN position, and play your source at the highest expected volume. Gradually rotate the INPUT VOLUME control clock- INPUT VOLUME wise until the SIGNAL indicator lights whenever an input signal is present and the OVER indicator just begins to light, then reduce the INPUT VOLUME level to the point at which the MIN MAX OVER indicator ceases to light (the SIGNAL indicator should still be lit whenever a signal is present). This should be the optimum level setting for your source. If the OVER indicator lights regardless of the setting of the INPUT VOLUME control, the output level of your source is probably too high. Compensate by reducing the output level of the source device. • Turn the INPUT VOLUME control all the way down when connecting or disconnecting a microphone. • Placing a microphone which is connected to the PSR-8000 too close to the PSR-8000 speakers (or those of an external sound system connected to the PSR-8000) can cause feedback. Adjust the microphone position, and the MIXING CONSOLE MIC volume level or MASTER VOLUME control level if necessary, so that feedback does not occur. 89

Sampling

You can save the waveform directly as a CUSTOM VOICE (via the WAVEFORM EDIT SAVE AS CUSTOM

VOICE function). The CUSTOM VOICE can then be edited via the CUSTOM VOICE CREATOR (page 51)

allowing you to layer waveforms with other waveforms as voice “elements”, and apply envelope generators,

filtering, modulation, and other voice parameters as required.

You can select and use sampled waveforms within the CUSTOM VOICE CREATOR (page 56) with full editing

control.

Setting Up for Sampling

■

Connecting the Source

.........................................................................................................................................................

The first step in setting up for sampling is to connect your source

— microphone or line — to the PSR-8000.

If you will be using a microphone, set the panel

MIC/LINE

selector to

MIC

, and plug your microphone into the

MIC/

LINE IN

jack. A standard dynamic microphone with an imped-

ance of about 250 ohms is recommended (the PSR-8000 does

not support phantom-powered condenser microphones).

If you will be sampling from a CD player or other line source

set the panel

MIC/LINE

selector to

LINE

. You may have to use

a stereo-to-mono cable or a “Y” cable to combine the left- and

right-channel output signals from the source device for input to

the PSR-8000’s mono

MIC/LINE IN

jack.

■

Setting Levels

.................................................................................................................................................................................

Once your source is connected and the

MIC/LINE

selector is

set to the appropriate position, you can use the

INPUT VOL-

UME

control in conjunction with the SIGNAL and OVER

indicators to set the optimum input level.

Begin with the

INPUT VOLUME

control set all the way to

the MIN position, and play your source at the highest expected

volume. Gradually rotate the

INPUT VOLUME

control clock-

wise until the SIGNAL indicator lights whenever an input

signal is present and the OVER indicator just begins to light,

then reduce the INPUT VOLUME level to the point at which the

OVER indicator ceases to light (the SIGNAL indicator should

still be lit whenever a signal is present). This should be the optimum level setting for your source.

If the OVER indicator lights regardless of the setting of the

INPUT VOLUME

control, the output level of your

source is probably too high. Compensate by reducing the output level of the source device.

•

Turn the INPUT VOLUME control all the way down when connecting or disconnecting a microphone.

•

Placing a microphone which is connected to the PSR-8000 too close to the PSR-8000 speakers (or those of an external sound

system connected to the PSR-8000) can cause feedback. Adjust the microphone position, and the MIXING CONSOLE MIC volume

level or MASTER VOLUME control level if necessary, so that feedback does not occur.
