Shows the MIDI receive channel specified for each sample/sample bank assigned to the currently
selected program in the PLAY-SAMPLE-SmpSel page (page 93). When Receive Channel Assign
is set to "Bch" (the Basic Channel) the basic channel will be displayed, and when Receive Chan-
nel Assign is set to "=smp" the sample's receive channel will be displayed. "---" will be displayed
if a sample bank's Receive Channel Assign is "=smp" and the sample bank's MIDI channel is set
to "---." Nothing is displayed if the Receive Channel Assign is "off."
e ORIG (Original Key)
The current pitch of the original key note resulting from program transpose and easy edit settings
is displayed for each sample (the original key is set via the EDIT-MAP/OUT-Mix&Key page,
page 127). "---" appears for sample banks.
r PLAYABLE AREA
This shows the actual playable area for each sample as a result of program transpose and easy
edit settings. To the right of the list the key range set up via the EDIT-MAP/OUT-Mix&Key page
is indicated by thin lines and the actual playable range is indicated by thick lines. Nothing is dis-
played for sample banks.
The playable area is not shown for samples which are not assigned to the currently selected pro-
gram.

A/D Input

This special feature lets you pass an analog signal through the A5000/A4000 at the same time as you are
playing out your programs. You would typically use this feature when you wish to combine a vocal perfor-
mance with A5000/A4000 program play.
You must supply the analog signal to the A/D input(s) on the front panel. You may select to pass this signal
through any of the available effects on its way through the A5000/A4000.
You can set this feature up using the AD Input function (PLAY - SETUP - ADInput) (page 107).

MIDI Indicator

The A5000/A4000 lets you know that it is currently receiving MIDI data by blinking one of the lamps on its
five mode buttons. The blinking lamp indicates the type of data that is coming in, as follows.
Received Data Type
Note On/Off :
Control Change :
Pitchbend :

But note that these indications do not operate with respect to data types that are filtered out by the MIDI
Receiving Filter (page 200).
• The program transpose value (PLAY-PROGRAM-PgmMix, page 128) is not shown for samples which
are not assigned to the currently selected program.
