S3000XL Operator’s Manual Page 263
USING THE PLAY PAGE
Although you may play takes from within any page of the DD functions and whilst the
SONG mode is provided either for sequential playback of many takes ‘back-to-back’ or for
setting up lists of takes that you may wish to trigger from MIDI, the PLAY page is provided
for playing individual takes in isolation and for setting their playback parameters prior to
assigning them to a song.
Assuming you have successfully recorded and edited a take, to play it back from the
PLAY page simply press (an abbreviation of ‘prime’). This gets the S3000XL ready
for the incoming MIDI note or song start command by searching for the take selected
here. You will receive this screen display:
As soon as it receives the appropriate signal (i.e. that set in the field), it will start
playing back. As it is playing, the display will show:
You may press F8 - STOP - at any time to stop playback of the take. You may adjust any
of the parameters in the PLAY page as you wish and these are automatically saved as
soon as you leave this page.
If the take does not play back successfully, the reason is probably that the S3000XL has
not received the appropriate start command as set in the field. For example, if
is selected and C3/Channel 16 is set but, for some reason, the sequencer
does not send this note on this channel (i.e. maybe the track set aside for take triggering
on your sequencer has been muted or switched off or the wrong note or channel are
being transmitted), the selected take will not play back. Similarly, if you have selected
to trigger the take but your sequencer does not send out a
command in certain modes of operation, the take will note trigger.
NOTE: Akai MPC60 owners will please note that a command is only issued
when the MPC60 is in its SONG mode. If you revert to the main screen to-play an
individual sequence, the selection will not be operative. The same is true of
other sequencers so please check your sequencer’s manual for more information.
