Sampling By Rec Trigger - Akai S612 Operator's Manual

Sampling by Rec Trigger
Although the S612 contains an automatic trigger system, it is
possible to start sampling at any desired time by connecting
a foot switch to the REC TRIGGER jack, (It can be used for over-
dubbing as well .)
1. Connect the Akai PS-X80 foot switch to the REC TRIGGER jack.
*
In this case, the automatic trigger system will be overridden .
*
Use a foot switch of the type shown below, if you do not use
the Akai PS-X80 foot switch.
Normal (closed)
Press Down (open)
2. The setting-up process is identical to the chapter for sam-
pling (Refer to page 7). After adjusting the recording level and
designating the sampling frequency, press down the
NEW
button (or OVERDUB button) . The LED next to the button (either
NEW or OVERDUB,
depending on the process you are using),
should light. This indicates the unit is ready for sampling (or
overdubbing).
3. Sampling (or overdubbing) is initiated by pressing the foot
switch connected to the REC TRIGGER jack.

This
REC TRIGGER
feature becomes eapecially useful and ef-
fective in situations where the sound is slow in reaching the
required trigger level, and therefore, "its" initial attack may
not be sampled.
