IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT TRIGGERING TAKES FROM MIDI
When triggering takes from MIDI, if you stop the sequencer and restart it somewhere in
the middle of where a take should be playing, it will not sound. This is because it requires
the MIDI note-on to trigger it. In such circumstances, it will be necessary to ‘rewind’ the
sequencer to a point somewhere before the MIDI note to ensure that the take receives
the note on and will trigger. The same, of course, is true if you are running your sequencer
synchronised to tape and triggering takes from MIDI. If you stop the tape, you will need to
rewind it to a point before the MIDI note required to trigger the take
When a take is triggered from a MIDI note, when you stop the sequencer, assuming your
sequencer sends out a MIDI ALL NOTES OFF command, the take will stop playback. If
however, your sequencer does not issue an ALL NOTES OFF, the take will continue to
play but you may specifically stop playback from the S3000XL front panel using F8 -
STOP.
Because the S3000XL can only play one take at a time, crossfading between takes is not
possible. Also, if one take is playing while another is triggered, the new take will take
priority although please note that there will be a short gap between the one take finishing
and the next take starting.
