16. Using the Built In Sampler

Your PRO DJ3 comes with a built in sampler. You may store up to six samples per a disc on the SIX CUE BUT-

TON (2). Your sample can be a maximum of 2.6 seconds in length. A sample can be recalled while a CD is play-

ing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, or even without the CD in the player. You may play loop at any time

without music interruption. You can also play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you

may store a maximum of 40 sample per in a drives memory. The MEMORY BUCKET (42) on the LCD DIS-

PLAY (21) will remind you how much memory is available.

To create a sample:

1) Initialize a loop (see looping page 11). If your loop is longer than 2.6 seconds it can not be stored as a

sample and will stored as a Cue Point.

2) Press the MEMORY CUE BUTTON (1). The MEMORY CUE BUTTON (1) Red LED will glow indicating

memory is ready to be stored.

3) Select one of the six CUE BUTTONS (2) you wish to store your loop in and press that button. The

MEMORY CUE (1) Red LED will turn off and your selected LED SCREEN (PAGE 8) will indicate your loop

has been stored .

4) The LCD DISPLAY (21) will now indicate a LOOP NUMBER 1~6 (41) that corresponds with the CUE

BUTTON (2) you selected in the previous step. This number indicates which CUE BUTTON (2) will activate

the loop you just programmed.

5) This sample can now be recalled while a CD is playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, or even

without the disc in the player.

To recall a sample:

NOTE: Please be sure that you turn off the Memory CUE when recalling (playing) cues or samples or

you could mistakenly erase a programmed sample.

1) Pressing a CUE BUTTON (2) that corresponds with a LOOP NUMBER (41) in the LCD DISPLAY (21) will

play the stored sample. You may BOP (stutter) any loop by rapidly tapping on it’s CUE BUTTON (2).

Samples may be played once or in a continuous repeating loop. Pressing the SGL/CTN BUTTON (5) will

determine the loop playback mode. Single mode will be indicated by “SINGLE” (34) being displayed in the

LCD DISPLAY (21). If “SINGLE” (34) is not displayed in the LCD DISPLAY (21), the sample will

continuously play until you stop it.

• Single mode will play the loop once and instantly return to the current playing CD without interruption of

music. If a disc is not currently play or there is no disc in the player the music playback will stop. Single

• Continue Mode will play the sample until you set the mode to single or you hit the Bop Button to return to

the current playing CD.

You may play a programmed sample in reverse by turning the JOG SHUTTLE (8) in a counter-clockwise direc-

tion. To return the sample to normal playing mode turn the JOG SHUTTLE (8) in clockwise direction. A sample

will react to all normal function in reverse play mode i.e. single, continuous, pitch & pitch bend play etc...
