INTRODUCTION
S3200XL Operator’s Manual - Version 1.00 Page 11
NOTE 2: If you set the level too low, the S3200XL’s EDIT SAMPLE pages have a GAIN
NORMALISE function that allows you to restore the sample to its optimum level for full use of
the sampler’s wide dynamic range.
The REC GAIN sensitivities are HI -58dBm, MID -38dBm, LOW
- 18dBm.
INDIVIDUAL OUTPUTS There are eight individual audio connectors provided. Use of
the INDIVIDUAL OUTPUTS (CH1 through CH8) allows much
more flexibility and control (but of course, this will take up
more input channels on the mixing console). Programs can be
assigned to any one of these output channels and effected
separately. Individual keygroups may also be routed via these
outputs so that in drum programs, individual drum and
percussion sounds may have their own channels on an
external mixing console.
NOTE: Programs using stereo samples should be sent to the individual outputs at the
keygroup level - i.e. the left samples should go to one output and the right samples to another
(usually adjacent) output.
The S3200XL uses remote ground sensing circuitry so that
the unbalanced outputs are protected against the possibility
of ground or earth loops that can sometimes occur in
complicated setups where a lot of equipment is connected.
L/R OUTPUTS There are two LEFT/RIGHT connections available - one set is
a pair of unbalanced jack sockets, the other a pair of balanced
XLR connectors for outputting the main stereo mix from the
S3200XL. When connecting to two channels of a mixing
console, remember to pan the mixer channels hard left and
right to enjoy the full stereo effect.
DIGITAL I/O The digital input can be used to record digitally from CD or
DAT or any other audio source that has a digital output.
The digital output carries a digital clone of the main stereo
outputs complete with the effects so you may also mixdown
digitally from the S3200XL to any digital audio recorder such
as DAT or a hard disk recorder/editor such as the Akai DR4 or
DR8 thereby ensuring the highest quality audio during
mixdown.
The digital i/o is also used to back data up to a normal DAT
tape.
SCSI This is used to attach hard disks, CD-ROMs, Magneto Optical
(MO) disks and removable cartridges to the S3200XL for data
storage and retrieval. You may also connect the S3200XL to a
Macintoshâ„¢ computer for use with the editing software that is
bundled with the S3200XL.
SMPTE IN/OUT These connectors are used to input and output SMPTE/EBU
timecode. These are used when synchronising a Qlist to
timecode. The connectors are 6.35 mm stereo (balanced)
phone jacks.
