Freeze Program; N 32. Freeze - Yamaha SPX900 Operation Manual

as shown in the illustration below. If the BASE KEY
parameter is set OFF, pitch cannot be controlled via the MIDI
IN terminal.

FREEZE PROGRAM

n n 32. FREEZE
The FREEZE program allows sampling (digital recording) and
playback of sounds received at the SPX900's inputs. The
FREEZE program allows sampling for a maximum of 1.35
seconds.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
Record Mode (REC. MODE): MANUAL, AUTO
Determines how sampling is to be triggered. If MANUAL is
selected, sampling is initiated either by pressing the parameter
key, the TRIGGER key, or a footswitch connected to the
rear-panel TRIGGER jack. If AUTO is selected, sampling is
automatically triggered by any input signal of sufficient level.
Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -1350 – +1000
milliseconds
This parameter sets a delay between triggering and actual
initiation of the sampling process. If a negative value is
specified, input signals are temporarily stored and the sound is
sampled from the specified time before the trigger occurs.
Record Ready (RECORD):
The RECORD display must be called before sampling can
begin. With the RECORD display showing, press the
parameter key and display will change to RECORD
READY. Sampling can now be starting using either the
MANUAL or AUTO method described above. The display
changes to "- - - - - -" while sampling is in progress, and then
to "OK" when sampling is complete. Any previous data in the
freeze memory is erased when the RECORD function is
executed.
The sampled sound can now be played back by pressing the
TRIGGER key or a footswitch connected to the rear-panel
TRIGGER jack. Pitched playback of the sampled sound is
possible by transmitting MIDI note ON messages to the
SPX900's MIDI IN connector from a MIDI keyboard or other
device (e.g. play a key on the keyboard).
Overdub Ready (OVERDUB):
RECORD (see above) is used to sample a new sound.
OVERDUB is used to record a new sound over a previously
recorded sound. Call the OVERDUB display and begin
overdubbing by using either the MANUAL or AUTO method
described above. The display changes to "
overdubbing is in progress, and then to "OK" when
overdubbing is complete. OVERDUB can be repeated as many
times as necessary.
The initially recorded and overdubbed sound can now be
played back by pressing the TRIGGER key or a footswitch
connected to the rear-panel TRIGGER jack. Playback can also
be triggered by an input signal of sufficient amplitude if the
INPUT TRG parameter is on. Pitched playback of the sampled
sound is possible by transmitting MIDI note ON messages to
the SPX900's MIDI IN connector from a MIDI keyboard'or
other device (e.g. play a key on the keyboard).
Playback Start Point (START): 0 – 1350.0
milliseconds
Total sample time is 1350 milliseconds (1.35 seconds). This
parameter determines at what point playback will begin when
a trigger occurs.
