Setting The Trigger Level - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700 Owner's Manual

Setting the Trigger Level

There are two ways to start sample recording: manual and triggered. With manual recording recording starts
the moment you press the [REC] and pad buttons, as described in the "Recording" section, below. With trig-
gered recording you initially engage the record standby mode and recording actually begins as soon as the PSR-
2700 detects an input signal that is higher than the selected trigger level. The [TRIGGER LEVEL] button lets
you select the method you want to use, and provides 5 different trigger levels. The trigger level you choose will
depend on the type of signal you want to record and the level of the background noise where you record. The
idea is to set the highest trigger level that will start recording without cutting off the attack of the sound you are
recording. If the trigger level is too low, recording can be triggered by ambient background noise at the wrong
time.

AccOff
Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the
[TRIGGER LEVEL] button itself to select the desired trigger level setting
1 2
("OFF" or "1" through "5").
When the trigger level is set to "OFF", manual recording is selected and
recording will start immediately when the [REC] and pad buttons are
pressed (see the "Recording" section, below). Automatic triggering is se-
lected when a value from 1 to 5 is selected. "1" produces the lowest trigger-
ing level, triggering recording when even a very soft sound is detected at
the input. Increasing values produce progressively higher trigger levels. Try
a trigger level of 2 or 3 to begin with. The default setting of "3" can be in-
stantly selected by pressing the [+] and [–] buttons simultaneously.
NOTES
Trig.Level=3 –
• Proper trigger operation depends on proper input level adjustment.
Make sure you set the input level properly as described on page 63.
• The trigger level is set to "3" when the PSR-2700 power is initially
turned on.
