PLAY-SAMPLE
Knob 4
[ Turn] RchASSIGN (Receive Channel Assign)
Determines whether the selected sample will or will not
be used in the current program. Set this parameter to
"off" if the sample is not be used in the program, or set to
the MIDI receive channel via which the sample is to be
controlled.
[Range] Program Mode = Single:
A01 — B16 (01 — 16 on the A4000), Bch (Basic
Receive Channel), =smp (the receive channel set
for the sample), off.
Program Mode = Multi:
Any part number assigned to the current program
(A01 — B16 on the A5000; 01 — 16 on the A4000),
off
• An alert message will appear on the display if you
attempt to turn a sample which has easy-edit set-
tings "off," and you will be asked whether it is OK to
delete the easy-edit settings. If you then press Knob
5 (>YES) the easy-edit settings will be deleted and
the Rch ASSIGN parameter will be turned off.
• If Knob 2 selects a sample that belongs to a bank,
therefore, the RchASSIGN setting is blanked out (a
"- -" appears in the setting area).
• Selecting too many overlapped samples (samples
with identical or overlapping key ranges) may cause
a delay in playback. In general, you should set your
program up such that no key (on the keyboard) pro-
duces sound from more than four monaural samples
(or 2 stereo samples).
[ Press] RESERVE
Pressing this knob has the same effect as temporarily
turning the receive channel assignment for the sample
used in the program "off." When pressed the receive
channel assignment for the selected channel will appear
in brackets, and that sample will not sound. Press the
knob a second time to restore normal playback.
• This function will not work when a sample bank is
selected or with samples for which the receive chan-
nel assignment is turned "off."
Knob 5
[ Turn] Shortcut Command

dow to select one of the available shortcut commands.
[Range] DUPLICATE, DELETE..., NEW BANK, SAVE...,

(See "The Shortcut Commands" below for details on
each command)
[ Press] EXECUTE
Executes the shortcut command at the current cursor
position.

The Shortcut Commands
DUPLICATE
Creates a copy of the sample selected via Knob 2. If you
specify a sample contained in a sample bank to be dupli-
cated, a confirmation display asking whether you want
the duplicate to be made inside or outside the sample
bank will appear. Press Knob 4 (>InBank) to create a
duplicate in the sample bank, or Knob 5 (>Out Of Bank)
to create a duplicate outside the sample bank.
If you duplicate a sample bank, the A5000/A4000 dupli-
cates both the bank and all of the samples within the
bank. (The name for each new sample becomes: original
name + "*".)
• Immediately following the copy, the new version will
have the same sound as the original version: it will
have the same parameter settings, and will make use
of the same waveform data. You can then edit the
parameter data to customize the sound of the new
sample.
DELETE...
Deletes the sample or sample bank selected by Knob 2.
Push the knob to delete the sample(s). The A5000/A4000
returns a confirmation screen. Press Knob 5 (>YES) to
complete the deletion, or Knob 4 (>NO) to cancel.
If you select a sample bank for deletion, the A5000/
A4000 screen will ask whether you want to also delete all
of the samples within that bank. Push Knob 5 (>YES) to
delete all samples together with the bank, or push Knob 4
(>NO) to delete the sample bank only, while leaving the
samples in memory.
NEW BANK
Use this page to create a new, empty sample bank in
main memory.
SAVE...
Saves data currently residing in memory to a disk. See
page 208 for details.
RENAME...
If you wish to set or change the program's name, press
this knob to proceed to the name editing screen. For
information about how to edit name strings, see "Charac-
ter Entry" (page 81).
