Other Keys and Operations
This section explains the use of the remaining panel keys, and briefly introduces the A3000’s
“A/D Input” and “MIDI Indicator” features.
Special Keys
COMMAND Key
This key gives you access to additional commands relevant to the mode and function
that you are currently using. If you are working in PLAY mode, for example, the COM-
MAND key gives you access to command screens that you can use to save programs and
samples to disk, format a disk, copy objects from one location to another, and so on. If
you are working at the EDIT mode’s TRIM/LOOP function, then the COMMAND key
gives you access to special waveform management commands (such as NORMALIZE
and REVERSE).
For more information, refer to mode descriptions starting from Chapter 4.
ASSIGNABLE Key
You can set this key to perform any one of several different operations. The purpose of
the key is to give you easy access to an operation that you intend to perform frequently.
You select the key’s operation using the UTILITY mode’s SYSTEM function. (300)
For example, you might set up this key so that it forces off (damps) all sound output. Or
you might set it so that it initializes all controllers. Or you may want to use it to switch
Knobs 2 through 4 into realtime controllers, or to enable the function keys to operate as
playback controls.
AUDITION Key
This key plays out the currently selected sample. You use this key, then, when you need
to check the sound of a sample, or when you want to hear results while you are editing
a sample. Please note that this playback is completely independent of the currently
selected program, and is not affected by program parameters. This type of direct sample
playback is available only with the AUDITION key.
If you press this key when working with a sample bank, the A3000 plays out each sample
in the bank, one after the other.
