Starting Out
We begin with a short vocal recording — a 2-second, continuous ahhhh sound— that
you will record through a microphone. In subsequent sections you will record other
vocal samples, and then learn how to edit the samples and put them together.
Procedure
Switch on power to the A3000 and connected devices. Be sure to switch on

your devices in the correct sequence.

Memo
• Each operation is identified by its mode and function. You begin the operation by pressing the
appropriate mode button (along the left), followed by the function key (along the top), so that the
corresponding screen (or page) appears. Note that you do not need to press the mode button if the
mode is already selected — the mode remains effective until you change it.
• Most screens include a descriptive screen name at the lower left corner.
