ESSENTIAL PROCEDURES
8.
Go To the Record Trigger Display
Press the [TRIGGER] function key to go to the "REC-Trigger" display.
9.
Set the AD Input Gain
This is not necessary if you're using direct digital input, but if you are recording analog microphone or
line signals via the "L-INPUT-R" jacks you will need to select the appropriate AD Input Gain setting.
With the top function line highlighted, use Knob 3 to select "Line" if you will be recording line-level
signals, or "Mic" if you will be recording a low-level microphone signal.
10.
Set the Trigger Options
The "REC-Trigger" display also offers "Start" and "Stop" trigger type and edge level parameters
(function lines 3 and 4, respectively). If you want to start and stop recording manually (i.e. by pressing
a panel button), select the "Manual" trigger mode. If you select the "Edge/Manual" mode, recording
will be triggered automatically when the input signal level exceeds the threshold set by the corre-
sponding "EdgeLevel" parameter (recording can still be triggered manually in this mode). The higher
the edge level setting, the higher the signal level required to trigger recording. You can check your
edge level setting visually in this page by applying the signal to be recorded to the A5000/A4000 and
watching the meter and edge level marker at the top of the display.
The same applies to "Stop" triggering. You can stop recording in the "Manual" mode, or select the
"Edge/Manual" mode so that recording stops automatically when the source signal level drops below
the threshold set by the "EdgeLevel" parameter.
Stop Edge Level
Start Edge Level
• When the MONITOR function is turned off, the source signal is not routed to the sampler's outputs
for monitoring. If you wish to monitor the source via the sampler's outputs while recording, press
Knob 2 (MONITOR) to turn monitoring on (the "MONITOR D" icon will appear).
