ROBO PLAY:
1. With the ROBO PLAY (63A) button in the OFF POSITION (the ROBO
PLAY INDICATOR (63B) will be OFF) and the MODE SELECTOR
(62) switch in either the SINGLE or REPEAT mode, pressing the
START/STOP (60) button will cause the sample to play along with
the selected source.
2. When the ROBO PLAY (63A) button is in the ON position (the ROBO
PLAY INDICATOR (63B) illuminates RED), starting the sampler mutes
the selected source. When the sample ends, the source automatically
turns back on.
PITCH CONTROL:
1. The PS-924 comes equipped with a sampler PITCH (64) control. To
get a perfect sample, set the control to its center position and record
the sample.
2. During playback, raising or lowering the control will raise or lower
the pitch of the sample playback. The center position will remain as
normal pitch.
HINT: You can record a sample with the PITCH (64) control in any position.
Whatever that position is will become normal sound. If you start to record a sample
with the PITCH (64) control set at minimum (this now becomes your normal pitch), by
increasing the pitch to maximum, the pitch effect will double in speed. Recording at
maximum and lowering to minimum will do exactly the opposite.
REMOTE START/STOP:
1. Plug a momentary normally open foot switch with a 1/4" plug into the
REMOTE START/STOP (83) jack on the rear panel.
2. This allows you to trigger the sampling process with the foot switch
leaving your hands free to do other things.
BATTERY BACKUP: The PS-924 is equipped with battery backup to
retain samples. To activate this feature, a 9 volt battery (not included)
needs to be connected to the BATTERY HOLDER (84) located on the
rear panel. This will enable you to store samples in memory and when
the unit is unplugged, the battery backup will retain the samples for
future use. If the unit is unplugged with no battery attached, all
the samples will be lost.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: A low battery indicator is included with the
PS-924. when changing the battery, make sure the unit is plugged in and
the power is ON. Failure to adhere to this will result in lost memory. The
low battery indicator is ON when the selected memory bank LED blinks.
The LED will also blink if no battery is connected to the unit.
