display fills with the incoming sound’s waveform.
NOTE: The S3000XL has difficulty recording at 48kHz (i.e. from a DAT machine). You will

But first...
** SAVE YOUR SAMPLES TO DISK NOW **
It is good practice to repeatedly save your work as you go - all good programmers do this
and it is a good habit to get into. You may make a mistake and accidentally record over a
precious new sample, you may trip over the power cord and disconnect the mains, you
may have a power cut - these things do happen!!
