9. TRACK RECORDERS AND PICKUP MACHINES
47
FIN applies a fade in when starting the recording. The value is expressed in sequencer steps. Applying
a very short fade in can be used to avoid clicks that otherwise might occur when a recorded sample
loops.
FOUT applies a fade out to the recording. The value is expressed in sequencer steps. The fade out is
added after the recording stops. If for example recording occurs for 16 steps and FOUT is set to 2, the
total length of the sample will be 18 sequencer steps. This parameter behaves dierently for Pickup
machines. In this scenario the fade out will be applied to the beginning of the captured loop.
AB sets the monitoring level of the signal coming from the input pair AB. The setting is only relevant
when a Pickup machine is assigned to the track. The INAB setting, located in the RECORDING SETUP
1 page, decides which input or inputs that should be monitored. If dierent track recorders contain
dierent AB settings, the setting made for the track recorder of active track is the one that will dictate
the current Pickup machine monitoring level. The monitor signal is routed to the active track, mean-
ing any track eects will aect the signal. It will also be routed to the output destination of the active
track. This setting is useful if you want to monitor incoming audio a Pickup machine should sample, but
don’t want to use DIR parameter of the MIXER menu.
QREC makes it possible to time quantize manual sampling and Pickup machine sampling.
• OFF disables recording quantization.
• PLEN will, after pressing the keys initiating recording, start the recording process once the pattern
has played its full length.
• 1... will time the start of the sampling process according to the set number of sequencer steps. If
for example 4 is selected, sampling will start on the next beat. If 8 is selected, sampling will start
after half a bar.
QPL makes it possible to quantize manual trigging of the recorder buers and Pickup machines.
Manual trigging is done by for example pressing [TRACK] + [PLAY] or the last eight [TRIG] keys. This
parameter has no eect on track recorders trigged by the sequencer. This parameter is a reflection of
the QUANTIZED TRIG setting available in the ATTRIBUTES menu found in the audio editor. If the QPL
parameter is changed, QUANTIZED TRIG will thus be changed as well, which can be seen when the
recorder buer of the track recorder is opened in the audio editor. For more information, please see
“13.2.4 ATTRIBUTES” on page 84.
• OFF makes the recorder buer immediately play back audio once it is trigged. This is the default
option.
• PLEN will, once the recorder buer has been trigged, start playback once the pattern has played
its full length.
• 1... will time the start playback of the recorder buer according to the set amount of sequencer
steps. If for example 4 is selected, playback will start on the next beat. If 8 is selected, playback will
start after half a bar.
CD works just like the AB setting, but for inputs CD.
Setting FIN and FOUT to their lowest values will help avoid any unwanted clicks that might
occur when a recorded sample loops.
9.2 TRACK RECORDER SAMPLING METHODS
Two main methods of sampling exist. Manual sampling is performed by manually pressing keys while re-
corder trig sampling is an automated process conducted by the use of recorder trigs.
9.2.1 MANUAL SAMPLING
Manual sampling is done through pressing key combinations. By setting INAB, INCD and SRC3 of the
RECORDING SETUP 1 menu appropriately both mono and stereo sources can be sampled.
[TRACK] + [REC1] will sample from the external input AB to the track recorder of the track.
[TRACK] + [REC2] will sample from the external input CD to the track recorder of the track.
[TRACK] + [REC3] will sample internal sounds to the track recorder of the track.
If a recorder buer contains a sample and the corresponding track recorder starts to
sample, the original buer sample will be overwritten by the new sample.
