Record Mode - Yamaha A3000 Quick Manual

RECORD Mode

F1 = RECORD
Following Record >GO, a Record Standby display (Waiting trigger...) appears.
Sample recording is triggered automatically by the input signal (Trigger) or manually
by using >START. Sample recording can be stopped in the same way: either
automatically when the input signal falls below the trigger level, or manually by using
>FINISH. You can also use >ABORT to cancel the recording.
With >OPTIMIZE, the Samples residing in memory are re-arranged to eliminate the
spaces between adjacent Samples. This will increase the available maximum
recording time for new Samples.

F2 = SETUP
This function is used to set the default settings for newly recorded Samples. There
are 5 pages:
RecData = Input selects the signal source for recording: AD L (Input L), AD L/R
(Input L + R), STOut (re-sampling = the A3000 records its own Stereo Out signal),
DIGITAL and OPTICAL (which are only available with the AIEB1 expansion
board). For stereo Samples, in addition to selecting AD L/R, you must also set the
SmpType parameter to Stereo. Otherwise both input signals will be mixed to one
MONO Sample. In most cases, the Sampling Frequency setting can be left at 44.1k.
When triggering automatically, it is strongly recommended that you specify a Pre
Trigger Period. The recording will then have already begun before the trigger level is
reached, which avoids cutting off the beginning of the attack of the recorded sound.
However, this does require that you later specify an accurate startpoint, so that the
Sample does not start delayed.
Target = Select one of three recording methods: Replace overwrites the currently
selected Sample, but keeps the parameter settings. New records a new Sample.
New+ records a series of new Samples; i.e., after recording, the A3000 remains in
Record Standby and will wait to record the next Sample.
If you push knob 3, the page for naming the current Sample will be opened. When
recording a Sample series (New+) the A3000 automatically appends incrementing
numbers to the name.
If you set ToPgm = on, all new Samples are automatically assigned to the current
Program.
KeyRnge = Original key (OrigKey) and keyboard position (Low – High) can be set
before recording the Samples and, in REPLACE mode, are maintained for the next
recording. When the knob is pushed and held the values (keyboard notes) can be
entered via MIDI.
Trigger = For starting and stopping the recording process, you can specify whether
the triggering will be automatic (SrcIn or SrcOut) or manual (ManOnly).
Process = If Auto Normalize is set to on, each Sample will automatically be
normalized directly after recording, i.e. processed to the highest possible volume
below clipping.
