Sampling P5: Audio CD
You can play back an audio CD in a CD-R/RW drive
connected to the USB A connector, or rip audio data from an
audio CD.
There are two ways to sample from an audio CD.
• If you want to monitor the audio, connect the audio
output jacks (or headphone jack) of your CD-R/RW
drive to the M3’s AUDIO INPUT 1, 2 jacks.
Alternatively, you can monitor the audio by connecting
your CD-R/RW drive’s S/P DIF OUT jack to the M3’s
S/P DIF IN jack.
The sampling procedure is the same as when you’re sam-
pling an analog audio source connected to the AUDIO
INPUT jacks in the conventional way. The sound will
play on the M3 according to the Input Analog (0–2a) set-
ting. Adjust the Input 1 (L channel) and Input 2 (R chan-
nel) settings for Level, Pan, and BUS (IFX/Indv.) Select
(normally set to L/R).
• The audio signal of the audio CD will be sampled
(“ripped”) as digital data. Use the menu command
Destination (5–1) to execute ripping.
Ripping is not supported for some CD-R/RW drives
(drives that do not support reading CD-DA data). In
this case, the message “Error in reading from medium”
will appear.
If your drive does not have audio output jacks, a
headphone jack, or an S/P DIF OUT jack, you won’t be
able to monitor the audio.
The audio CD can be controlled by the SEQUENCER
switches.
If the cursor is located at Range Start or Range End, the
range of the CD from Range Start to Range End will be
played.
