Changes in PLAY MODE

Chapter 2 Upgrade Reference

PLAY - COMMAND Key - EXPORT

This is a new command. The command can be accessed from the PLAY mode’s SAMPLE

function.

You use this command to export (save) a sample to floppy disk in AIFF file format. You

can then load the files into a computer and use them with any of a variety of commer-

cially available applications.

If you select a sample bank for the save, the A3000 exports all of the samples contained

in the bank.

Be aware that most of the sample’s sound-related parameter settings will be lost in the

conversion. Although it is possible to reload the AIFF file into the A3000, the original

settings will not be restored.

• Push Knob 1 to execute the command.

• Use Knob 2 or Knob 3 to select the sample or sample bank that you wish to export.

Note that all data must fit on a single floppy disk. It is not possible to export onto mul-

tiple disks.

PLAY - COMMAND Key - FREZ_PGM [Freeze Program]

This is a new command. The command can be accessed from the PLAY mode’s EASY

EDIT function.

The command “freezes” the program sound by transferring most of the easy edit set-

tings directly into the program’s samples and sample banks. In other words, the com-

mand modifies the samples and banks so that the current easy-edit sound becomes their

“built-in” sound.

This command operates only on freestanding samples and on sample banks. It has no

affect on samples that exist within sample banks.

After making the transfer, the command reinitializes the Easy Edit settings that were

transferred. Note that the following Easy Edit settings cannot be transferred and are not

reinitialized. (Under certain conditions various other settings may also be omitted from

the transfer.)

If sample: MIDICtl (MIDI Control) setting.

If sample bank: MIDICtl; Pitch page Fine setting; KeyLimit page RngShft (range shift),

LoLimit, and HiLimit settings.

• Push Knob 1 to execute the command.

• Turn Knob 2 to select whether to target a single sample only (Smp) or else all samples

and sample banks within the program (allSmp).

• If you have selected Smp at Knob 2, use Knob 3 to select the sample or sample bank

to be adjusted.
