5. PLAYBACK
To play back the recorded material, press the PA­
RAMETER key to enter the playback standby mode.
The LCD will display the "PLAY" message. To
actually play the recording, press the PARAMETER
INCREMENT/DECREMENT key. The recorded
material will be played each time the PARAMETER
INCREMENT/DECREMENT key is pressed.
FREEZE A

To program a specific segment of the recording to
be played back in the FREEZE A program, set the
START and END parameters to appropriate values
(0~2000.0). The example below depicts how the
START and END parameters affect output.

Another way to trigger playback is to use the Input
Trigger Parameter. Select the Input trigger Parameter
and press the Parameter Increment key to enter the
standby mode. Playback will be automatically triggered
when the input signal exceeds nominal level.
The FREEZE B program PITCH and FINE parameters
function identically to those in the PITCH CHANGE
program to change the pitch of the playback signal.
Playback start and stop can be triggered by the PA­
RAMETER
INCREMENT/DECREMENT keys, foot
switch or via a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI
IN connector. With the FREEZE B program, playing a
key on the MIDI keyboard produces the corresponding
pitch change in the playback output, and triggers
playback.
6. TRIGGER MASK (FREEZE A). Range:
10-2000.0 ms.
This parameter makes it possible to disable playback
re-triggering for a specified time (10-2,000 msec).
For example, if you wish to prevent re-triggering for
the duration of the entire sample or a portion of the
sample, set the TRIGGER MASK parameter for the
appropriate length of time. Once playback has been
triggered, it can only be triggered again after the set
TRIGGER MASK time has elapsed.
Playback can also be triggered by a footswitch
connected to the front-panel MEMORY/FOOT
TRIGGER jack when the FOOT TRIGGER key is
pressed and its LED is ON. A MIDI keyboard
connected to the MIDI IN terminal can also be used
to trigger playback—simply play a note on the
keyboard.
