REC/ARM

YOU MUST BE USING A PRESET SET UP

FOR SAMPLING AND IN THE EDIT MODE FOR THIS FUNCTION TO OPERATE

While you are using any of the Sampler algorithms you will need to "reset" the

record parameter to be ready to record another sample. The REC/ARM button allows

you to return the Sampler to Record-Ready status. Pressing this button wipes out

the existing sample and resets the length to the original stored preset value.

To reset the MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0 to record a new sample, press the REC/ARM

button.

TRIGGER

YOU MUST BE USING A PRESET SET UP

FOR SAMPLING AND IN THE EDIT MODE FOR THIS FUNCTION TO OPERATE

This button accesses two parameters for the Sampler algorithm. It allows you to

either record a sample of the program material or play back that portion (sample)

of material you recorded.

When you first recall a Sampler preset it is usually geared up and ready to

record a sample. Most of the Factory Presets using the Sampler in the ALPHA 2.0

are "record/ready". When the preset is recalled and signal is present to the

ALPHA 2.0, the record is automatically triggered. All you need to do is press the

TRIGGER button to playback the sample.

Now you may replay this sample as recorded at any time by pressing the button

again. If the PLAY parameter is set in the SINGLE position and you hit the button

quickly and repeatedly, you will get that stuttering "rap" effect. The sampled

sound can be played back by hitting the button, MIDI, or using a footswitch

connected to a properly programmed REMOTE jack.

You may determine the length of the sample time regardless of what the Length

parameter is set for in the Preset with this button. Say your Length is set for

1.50 seconds and you feel the length should end at a specific point less than 1.5

seconds. All you need to do is press the TRIGGER button once when you feel the

sample should stop. This automatically sets the Length parameter for that amount

of time.

NOTES:

1) You will have to reset the LENGTH parameter back to its original value if the

full length is required. To do this simply hit the RECALL button, doing this will

restore the LENGTH parameter to its original value. (It is assumed the preset has

been STORED)

2) You cannot store the audio sample in the ALPHA 2.0 or dump them through MIDI.
