Changes in PLAY MODE

Chapter 2 Upgrade Reference

PLAY - CONTROL - Reset [Controller Reset] ☞ 141

In addition to its original purpose, this page can now also be used to set the Note On

mode. Knob 4 sets the mode for the specified MIDI channel: either normal or toggle.

normal Input of Note-On causes note to begin playing. Input of Note-Off

causes note to stop playing.

toggle Note-Off events are ignored. Each new Note-On event switches off

playback of any note triggered by a previous Note-On event. (Only

1 note can be “on” at a time)

PLAY - CONTROL - PgmLFO1 [Program-LFO Setup 1]

Program LFOs are a new feature with Version 2. The program-LFO setup pages are

located in the PLAY mode’s CONTROL function.

The program LFO applies the same modulation speed to all samples assigned to the

program. You select the modulated parameters using the PLAY | CONTROL PgmCtl1

page and the EDIT | MIDI/CTRL SmpCtl1 page. (To select, set Device to ProgramLFO,

and then set Function to the desired parameter.)

Note that the program LFO does not operate while the A3000’s built-in sequencer is in

use.

• Knob 2 selects the LFO waveform type. Please be sure to set the value to off if you do

not wish to use a program LFO with the current program. Note that if you set the

wave to Saw or Square, program-LFO settings in the PLAY | CONTROL PgmCtl1

become ineffective. (Program LFO settings in the EDIT | MIDI/CTRL SmpCtl1 page

remain active.)

• Knob 3 selects the method used to determine the LFO speed. If you select manual,

the speed is set locally in accordance with the Knob 4 Tempo setting and Knob 5

Cycle setting. (One LFO cycle corresponds to the time span of the selected note value

at the selected tempo.) If you select MIDI, the LFO speed is synchronized to an exter-

nal MIDI clock. In this case Knob 4 is ineffective, and Knob 5 again sets the note

length of the cycle (the LFO cycle is equivalent to the time that the MIDI clock takes

to generate the specified note length).
