HOW THE DISK RECORD FUNCTIONS WORK
The S3200XL flowchart is something like this
INPUTS
SAMPLE(S) TAKE(S)
PROGRAM(S)
QLIST SONG
RAM DISK
The takes can be played in a number of ways:
Takes may be placed into a Qlist. A Qlist allows you to trigger takes at specific timecode times
and so is an ideal way of spotting sound effects, music cues, dialogue, etc., to picture. Takes
may be used alongside programs in a Qlists so that you may trigger sounds from RAM and disk
simultaneously. Typically, you could use this to trigger short sound effects from RAM whilst
longer recordings are played from disk.
Takes can be placed into what we call a SONG and triggered from MIDI. By assigning a take a
MIDI note number and channel, incoming MIDI can be used to initiate playback. This can take
place whilst ordinary programs are also being played via MIDI and so, in this way, you could, for
example, be sequencing several multi-timbral programs as a backing track whilst
simultaneously ‘spinning in’ backing vocals, brass riffs, solos, breakbeats, etc., from disk.
Note: It is also possible to record a take whilst sequencing programs. For example, you may
record a guitar solo directly to disk whilst listening to sequenced programs coming from the
S3200XL.
Takes can also be run sequentially in a song and, in this application, several takes can be ‘butt
edited’ to each other and caused to playback sequentially. Furthermore, each step in a song
may be set to repeat any number of times so this can be used very effectively for the easy
creation of extended remixes.
There are some important things to note when using the disk record functions, however.
1 In order to achieve the disk record functions, the process uses 6 of the S3200XL’s voices
reducing polyphony in this case to 26 voices when recording to or playing back from disk.
