Using The Built-In Sampler - American Audio CDI-300 MP3 User Manual And Reference Manual

BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)
12. Using the Built In Sampler:
Your CDI-300 Mp3™ comes with an advanced built in sampler. You may store up to three samples. One sam-
ple in each of the three BANK BUTTONS (9) (Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT
or a SAMPLE into a BANK BUTTON (9), not both). Your sample can be a maximum of 5.5 seconds in length.
A sample can be recalled while a CD is playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, you may even play a
sample when the CD has been removed. You may play your sample at anytime without music interruption. If
you play your sample when the unit is already in playback mode your sample will mix with the current music
track. You can also play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approxi-
mately 1500 (500 x 3) samples in a drives memory (depending on available memory). The MEMORY BUCKET
(35) on the LCD DISPLAY (26) will approximate the remaining memory.
To create a sample:
1) Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 17). If your loop is longer than 5.5 seconds it
cannot be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.
2) Press the MEMORY BUTTON (14). The
MEMORY BUTTON (14) red LED will glow
indicating memory is ready to be stored.

4) The red MEMORY BUTTON (14) LED will turn off, when your sample is locked
into memory.
5) At this point your sample has been stored into memory. The original loop you
used to create the sample will remain playing until the OUT BUTTON (20) is
pressed (Figure 25).
6) Your sample can now be recalled at any time even
when the unit is in PAUSE MODE. To recall the
sample be sure the sample function is on, by
pressing the SAMPLE BUTTON (16) until the red
sample button LED turns on. To play your sample
in a continuous loop leave the sample function on.
To play your sample just once, turn the sample
function off immediately after initiating your sam-
ple. With the sample function on, the sample will
continue to play until the sample function is turned
off.
