SAMPLER LEVEL CONTROL
1. By adjusting the SAMPLER LEVEL (6) control,
you can contro! the output volume of the recorded
sample.
NOTE: The SAMPLER LEVEL (6) control does not
effect the volume of any source playing through
the DS-2024.
PAN CONTROL
1. Placing the PAN (8) control in the center position
will cause the sample playback to evenly play
through the left and right channels. Turning the
PAN (8) control left or right will move the
playback similar to a balance control.
CUE CONTROL
1. With the CUE MODE (3) switch in the MIXER
position, the cueing through the headphones is
controlled by the mixer. Sampler cue is controlled
by the DS-2024.
2. In the SAMPLER position, only the playback
of the recorded sample comes through the
headphones and the level is controlled by the
CUE LEVEL (5) control.
PITCH CONTROL
1. The DS-2024 comes equipped with a PITCH (7)
control. To get a perfect sample, set the contro!
to its center position and record the sample.
2. During playback, raising or lowering the control
will raise or lower the pitch of the sample
playback. The center position will remain as
normal pitch.
PITCH CONTROL HELPFUL HINT
You can record a sample with the PITCH (7) control
set at any position. Whatever that position is now
becomes normal sound. Turning the PITCH (7) will
change the rate of pitch. If you start to record a
sample with the PITCH (7) control set at minimum
(this now becomes your normal pitch), by increasing
the pitch to maximum, the pitch effect will double in
speed. Recording at maximum and lowering
to minimum will do exactly the opposite.
BATTERY BACKUP
The DS-2024 is equipped with battery backup to
retain samples. To activate this feature, a 9 volt
battery (not included) needs to be connected to the
battery clip in the compartment on the back of the
unit. This will enable you to store samples in
memory, and when the unit is unplugged, the battery
backup will retain the samples for future use. If the
unit is unplugged with no battery attached, all sam
ples will be lost.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
A low battery indicator is included with the DS-2024.
When changing the battery, make sure the unit is
plugged in and the power is ON. Failure to adhere
to this will cause your memory to be lost. The low
battery indicator is on when the selected memory
bank LED blinks. The LED will also blink if no
battery is connected to the unit.
