Knob 5 now offers two functions: EXTRACT and NORM (normalize). Turn the knob to
select the function, and then push the knob to execute.
This is a new command. The command can be accessed from the EDIT mode's TRIM/
LOOP function.
This command creates a new loop pattern by breaking up and rearranging an existing
loop pattern. This makes it easy to create effective new drum patterns from your exist-
ing drum-pattern samples. This feature works best with patterns that are 1 or 2 bars
long.
Specifically, the command generates a temporary rearrangement of the selected sam-
ple's loop section (the waveform area between the loop-start and loop-end addresses). If
you are pleased with the rearranged loop, you can save it into a new sample. If you are
not pleased, you can simply try again.
For good results, be sure to set the original sample's loop addresses carefully before
executing the remix.
Knob 2 (Type) and Knob 3 (Vari) set the general parameters for the "intelligent" but
random remixing. The Type setting determines the portions of the loop to which changes
are applied, and the Vari (variation) setting selects the probable amount of change (where
variation A will generally produce the smallest change and D will generally produce the
largest). Different combinations will produce significantly different kinds of results.
To begin, set Knobs 2 and 3 to the appropriate values. You can then turn Knob 4 to set
the speaker icon on or off. When you are ready to proceed, push Knob 4 to generate
the new pattern.
If you set the icon on, the A3000 immediately plays out the new pattern. Regardless of
the icon setting, you can then listen to the new pattern as many times as you like by
pressing the AUDITION key.
If you are not pleased with the new pattern, you can press Knob 4 to generate another
pattern. Each execution generates a different pattern (even if you leave the Type and Vari
settings unchanged). Continue as necessary until you get the pattern you like.
When you are satisfied with the pattern, press Knob 5 to store it into a new sample. The
A3000 generates the name for the new sample by appending a sequential number (the
number shown in brackets at the top right of the screen) to the name of the original
sample. The original sample itself remains unchanged.
