Power ON/OFF
Important
Speakers or amplifiers should be switched on last to protect against unexpected sound
surges that may damage your equipment.
Procedure
Switch on power to external MIDI and SCSI devices.
1.
• When powering up MIDI devices, it is generally good practice (although not strictly
necessary) to switch on the transmitting-side device first.
• If you are switching on a SCSI disk or CD-ROM drive, allow the drive a few seconds to
get up to speed before proceeding to Step 2.
Switch on the power to the A3000. (Press the POWER switch on the front
2.
panel.)
Switch on power to speakers and other audio devices.
3.
Important
• Like other samplers, the A3000 stores all new data into main memory only, and will
lose all of this data when you switch off the power. You must therefore save all impor-
tant data to disk before turning the A3000 off.
• Speakers or amplifiers should be switched off first to protect against unexpected sound
surges that may damage your equipment.
