Yamaha Marine Sanitation System A3000 User Manual

 

Navigate to the [EDIT]: [TRIM/LOOP]: [Config] page.  Set the End Type to BEAT. Then 
return to the LOOP page. Your defined loop will be displayed in terms of Beats (to the 

nearest thousandth of a beat). The Tempo can be calculated in BPM by simply pressing 

KNOB 4. This is a reading based on the number of samples between the start and end 
points as defined by your loop. The calculation is based on the assumption that your 

music is between the tempos of 80 bpm and 159.99 bpm and that you are using some 
dividend of 4 measures.  

 

The ‘LpMonitr’ or Loop Monitor feature let’s you hear just ahead of the loop start point – 
push and hold it to preview the data up to ½ a second (500ms) – it plays the lead in data 

only once then cycles through the loop.  

 

 

TWE is software that Yamaha Corporation has created as a service to users, and is 

distributed at no cost. This is, as the name implies, a full wave editor for Windows 95 
equipped PCs. This is for those you that like to edit via a graphic interface. It is available 

for download from Yamaha at the United Kingdom’s web site www.yamaha.co.uk or 

from your local Yamaha dealer. This will allow you to convert AIFF and WAV files, loop, 
time compress, EQ, append waves, cut copy and paste, etc., etc. You can load to and 

from your computer via SCSI.    

 

If you are sure your A3000 is behaving badly and all else fails then execute the system 

reset. It will return your unit to factory, out of the box condition. To reset the A3000 hold 
[Program:Play] + [Assignable] keys down simultaneously and power up. The A3000 

pauses momentarily, then goes through its normal boot up. All memorized system 

parameters are reset to factory defaults. This includes the parametric EQ, and any 
memorized controller, effects or setup “inits”. This will also require you to reconfigure the 

SCSI bus, if you had connected drives.  To do this: Press [DISK] mode: [DISK] function: 

[Config] page; select and remount any attached SCSI devices.  
 

 

•  Each A3000 Program is saved with its original location memorized. In other words, if 

 

This feature makes it easy to use your Programs  as  part  of  a  MIDI  system.  If  you  have 

programmed your sequencer to recall the A3000 Program via a program change, it is 
very convenient to have each Program location remembered. Even though today you 

may remember that “SONG for X” is Program #15, 3 months from now you’ll wish you had 

written it down somewhere.  
 

You can load any Program from within any Volume, to any location when you utilize the 

Load Program Command feature (see Building Custom Volumes).
