SMP2

Once you have assigned your samples, you may go to the next sample page by pressing
. Here you may tune and pan your samples. You will get this screen:
The top line of the screen is exactly as in SMP1 and displays the currently selected
keygroup's note range and keygroup, whether you are editing one individual keygroup or
all of them as well as the program name. The other fields are:
S3000XL Operator's Manual
Again, this shows the zone number in the column below.
This column allows you to tune each sample in each zone separately. You
may tune the sample in semi tones and cents over a very wide range
(±50.00).
You can fine tune the loudness for each zone in each keygroup to
balance them up against each other. You will note that if the master
loudness parameter in the OUT page of the main PROGRAM EDIT screen
is set to 99, this control will only have effect downwards (i.e. when setting a
-value). The range is ±50.
This parameter allows you to fine tune the filter cutoff slightly to maintain a
consistent tone between keygroups. The range is ±50.
This allows you to pan each zone in each keygroup between the main L/R
outputs. The range is L50-MID-R50..
This allows you to assign each zone in each keygroup to its own output 1-
8 for separate processing on an external mixing console if you wish. This
has a relationship with
If the whole program is assigned to an individual output, that output will be
shown here - i.e. if the program is set to appear at output 1, then 1 will be
shown for every keygroup here. You may change this per keygroup so
that some sounds come out of 1 and other keygroups appear at other
outputs. This is particularly useful on drums where you often need to mix
drums through an external mixer to add EQ, reverb, compression, etc..
Even if the main program
LEVELS page, you may still route individual keygroups to separate
outputs. This may be useful in a drum program where things like toms,
cymbals and some percussion appear at the S3000XL's stereo outputs
whilst important drums like bass drum and snare are assigned to appear
at individual outputs.
You will note that whatever the output assignment is here, the level is
taken from the master OUTPUT LEVELS page and is set at the
field.
