ure eightÕ pattern. The left (or stereo) will be shown in the left digit of the ÔvalueÕ display, and the right will
be shown in the right digit. If this modifier is set along with either of the other loop modifiers, then the re-
peater will immediately start the first loop delay, so the LEDs on the front of the repeater will chase the
segments in a ÔoÕ instead of the Ôfigure eightÕ.

This modifier can be used with any combination of any Fade or mute commands. It has no effect if

used without the Start Track command.

Start Loop:

A modifier for the Start Track command which causes the the AB/DR-3000 to:

a) If the LOOP ALL mode is off: Plays the next spiel just like a standard Start Track command, but

repeats the same spiel until a STOP or STOP AT END command is received, putting the

Delay

Time (if any) between each iteration of the loop. The range of adjustment for this delay is from
.1 second to 999.9 seconds. When the repeater is in a Loop Delay, the LEDs on the front of
the repeater will chase in a clockwise ÔoÕ pattern. The left (or stereo) will be shown in the left
digit of the ÔvalueÕ display, and the right will be shown in the right digit.

b) If the LOOP ALL mode is on: Plays the next spiel just like a standard Start Track command, but

then plays the next spiel in line until a Stop or Stop At End command is received, putting the
Delay Time (if any) between each spiel

. The range of adjustment for this delay is from .1

second to 999.9 seconds. When the repeater is in a Loop Delay, the LEDs on the front of the
repeater will chase in a counterclockwise ÔoÕ pattern. The left (or stereo) will be shown in the
left digit of the ÔvalueÕ display, and the right will be shown in the right digit.

If while Looping All or Looping with a Delay there is a spiel requested (without a Start com-

mand), the requested spiel begins looping at the next loop point. This will not work if looping a
single spiel without a delay. When in this mode the looping is handled at the DSP level so that
there is no audible tick at the loop point. To start looping another spiel under these conditions,
you will need to set Early Starts to Stored, and then request the new spiel along with a Start
command w/looping set. The spiel request will be stored and take effect as soon as the current
spiel ends.

This modifier can be used with any combination of any Fade or mute commands. It has

no effect if used without the Start Track command.

Start Group:

This command only works on DR-3000s that are on the same bank of the Digital Audio Bus:

If ON, then this card will relay any Start Track commands down the Digital Audio Bus to any other

cards which are configured to respond to the same

Group Number. This is used to synchronize multiple

cards for Ôbin loopÕ applications within 1/44,100 th of a second.

The actual command that is relayed to all the other cards in the group is a Start Track with the spiel

and group number that this card intends to play. In this way all cards will start playing the correct spiel at
the exact same instant.

Cards sending Group Start commands down the Digital Audio Buss must be set to the same bank as

the cards that are meant to receive them. If the DAB is not being used for any PA or mixing, then the DR-
3000 defaults to using the first bank. If the PA is being used, then it forces the DR-3000 to the first bank.
If mixing is being done on any channel using any buss channel from the second bank, then the DR-
3000 is set to use the second bank. The PA selections are unavailable if the repeater is using the second
Digital Audio Buss bank.

There is one time slot on each Digital Audio Bus bank which is used to carry Group Start commands.

For this reason only one group start command can be sent down the bus within any 1/44,100 th of a

If the ROM set is mono, and the LEFT/RIGHT SPLIT has been set, then the left channel will only play

spiel numbers up to the split, and the right channel will play only spiels over the split.
