0–5: Play Audio CD
You can use a CD-R/RW drive connected to the USB A
connector to play back an audio CD.
It is convenient to use this method to verify a CD that you
created in the Make Audio CD page.
If you want to monitor the audio, connect the CD-R/RW
drive’s audio output jacks (or headphone jack) to the M3’s
AUDIO INPUT 1,2 jacks. Alternatively, you can monitor the
audio by connecting the CD-R/RW drive’s S/P DIF OUT
jack to the M3’s S/P DIF IN jack.
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 will play back according to the “0–5b: Audio
Input” setting.
It is not possible to play back an audio CD that has not
been finalized.
The audio CD can be controlled by the SEQUENCER
switches.
0–5a: Audio CD Play
Location [(00:00.0...)]
Displays the current location of the audio CD track that is
playing. When stopped, this specifies the location at which
playback will begin.
When Track or Index are re-selected, this will be 00:00.0.
Media
Specifies the drive of the audio CD that will be played.
Only CD-ROM/R/RW drives can be selected.
Track [01...]
Selects the audio CD track that will be played.
Index [01...]
Specifies the index of the audio CD that will be played. This
is valid only if you have selected a track that has index data.
In the case of some CD-R/RW drives, index
information cannot be obtained.
Volume [000...127]
Specifies the volume of the audio output from the CD-R/
RW drive.
Since some CD-R/RW drives do not support this, the
volume may not change when you adjust this setting.
0–5b: Audio Input
Here you can specify the input source, input level, pan, bus,
and master effect send level for analog/digital audio
devices.
These parameters are linked with Global mode 0–3: Audio.
