Using The Premium Rack - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

Using the Freeze effect
This section explains how to use the "FREEZE" effect type, which provides the functionality
of a simple sampler. When this effect type is selected, you can perform operations on screen
to record (sample) and play back a sound.
NOTE
Effect types "FREEZE" and "HQ.PITCH" can be used only in rack 1, 3, 5, or 7.
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the RACK button.
2. Press the EFFECT tab in the VIRTUAL RACK window.
3. Press the effect container in rack 1, 3, 5, or 7.
4. Press the effect type field in the EFFECT EDIT window to open the EFFECT TYPE
window, and select "FREEZE."
5. To begin recording (sampling), press the REC button and then press the PLAY
button.
6. To play back the recorded sample, press the PLAY button.
NOTE
• The bar in the EFFECT EDIT window reflects the current recording progress. When a fixed time
has elapsed, the buttons will automatically turn off.
• You can adjust the parameters in the EFFECT EDIT window to make detailed settings for
recording time, the way in which recording will begin, and the way in which the sample will play
back. For details on the parameters, refer to the data list at the end of this manual.
• The sampled content will be erased if you record another sample, change the effect, or turn off
the power to the CL unit.

processors that faithfully emulate carefully selected vintage analog processors as well as
newly developed processors. The Premium Rack employs VCM technology, which models

sounds.
