Playback of Reverse Version
If you set the two levers so that the END point lever is positioned
before the START point
lever,
the playback will be reversed. For
example, as seen in the diagram, when the set up is done with
the start point at the truncating rear and with the end point at the
truncating front, the reverse version "gninroM dooG" will be
played when a key is pressed. It follows, therefore, that it is
possible to replay any desired portion of the sample in reverse.
Note:
Although the START and END point levers may be
reversed
,
it is not possible to SAMPLE in reverse
.
A
sound can only be recorded as it occurs naturally (in
its' original form) even through, once
sampled,
it can be
reproduced in reverse.
Scanning Mode
The S612 employs the latest computer technology so that it
is not only able to play sampled sounds, but can also be used
very extensively for musical application.
The following are three special scanning
modes:
*
One-Shot
*
Looping
* Alternating
I
One-Shot mode
I
In
the "One-Shot"
mode,
the S612
functions as an ordinary sam-
pl ing
device.
For
example,
when it is set as shown
in the diagram
(the
same as
the normal
setting), the sampled
sound "Good
Morning"
will be played when a key is pressed.
There
will be
no
sound
thereafter,
even
if
the key is
held
down.
With the one-shot mode, scanning is done in the following
order.
