Special Hint Ø Sample Bank Templates
You can also copy "empty" Sample Banks. This can be useful when you want to use the
parameter settings of a Sample Bank (e.g. Filter and Envelopes) for other Samples. To do
this, remove all Samples of the Sample Bank with "SmpBank – REMOVE". This ensures
that duplicating the Sample Bank creates no new Sample duplicates. You can assign any of
the Samples to the duplicate of the Sample Bank, which are then played back with the
preset parameters of the Sample Bank. In this way, you could program an assortment of
"Template Sample Banks", which could be used as a basis for new Sample Banks. This way
.
you do not have to go to the trouble of setting new sound parameters each time
SMPDUMP = Sends a Bulk Dump of the selected Samples in the specified format.
The "Sample Dump Standard" ("SDS") format might be of special interest, since it is
accepted by most of the samplers and some synthesizers (e.g. SY99, SY85, TG500)
on the market. Even the SDS sample number can be set, which can, under certain
circumstances, let you avoid overwriting existing Samples on the receiving device.

F3 = EASY EDIT
Using EASY EDIT you can adjust some of the most important Sample parameters at
the Program level. You have already been given some basic information about the
Easy Edit function in the first chapter "The Sound Structure of the A3000".
For a complete list of all "Edit Parameters" please refer to pages 119/120 of the
Owner's Manual. There you will see that these are exactly the same parameters as
you would find under "Part Parameters of Performances" or Multis in music
workstations or other devicesÖ and that is exactly how they are used!
Please remember that these settings do not change the Samples themselves. They only
modify the playback of the currently selected Program.
With EASY EDIT the selected Samples or Sample Banks can be edited, as long as
they are assigned to the Program, i.e. "SmpSel" is set to on. For Sample Banks, the
settings for all assigned Samples are valid.
Caution: Do not switch "SmpSel" to "off" in order to mute the Sample, as this will
cause all EASY EDIT settings for this Sample to be irretrievably lost!
A + or - sign at the left to the value indicates that the parameters are offsets to the
Sample parameters.
The command functions are the same as in the PLAY/PROGRAM page.

F4 EFFECT
EfType = This selects the Effect Type for each of the three separate effect units. In
addition, you can set CONNECT to specify whether the effects will be connected in
serial or parallel. Combinations of these connection types are also possible (see
Owner's Manual, p. 122/123).
Efct 1, Efct 2, Efct 3 = If an Effect Type is set, you can select (knob 2) and set the
parameters (knob 5) here.
A complete list of all Effect Types and Effect Parameters can be found in the
Owner's Manual, p. 335 - 346.
In&Out = Here you can set the input and output levels as well as the Pan position
separately for each of the three Effects.
