Ó 3M 1998 3MÔ Multimedia ProjectorMP8610 29 Glossary Glossary of Terms Amorphous Silicon See Thin-Film Transistor. Composite video A video signal that combines all color and timing components of the picture in a single input line. The U.S. standard is NTSC. European standards are PAL and SECAM. Hz, KHz, MHz (Hertz, Kilohertz, Megahertz) Hertz is a unit of measurement used to express the frequency, in cycles per second, of an electrical signal or event. (Kilohertz = 1000, Megahertz = 1 million cycles per second). Keystone correction Keystoning (distorted image) is caused when the path of the projector light beam is not perpendicular to the screen. Projectors normally project the image with an angle (e.g. 16 °) on the screen. The optical system can be designed for distortion free projection at this angle (keystone correction). Lumens A measure of light output on a screen or other surface. One lumen is the light of one candlepower on each square foot of a surface of a sphere at a radius of one foot from the light source. Metal halide lamp A metal halide lamp is a modified mercury arc lamp that is extremely bright. It is filled with a gas with elements known as “halogens”. The properties of this fill gas allows the lamp to burn longer and brighter than ordinary incandescent lamps. NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) Standard for television signals and other video equipment signals. Uses interlaced scans and 525 horizontal lines per frame at a rate of 30 frames per second. PAL (Phase Alternate Line) The format for color television signals used in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and several other countries. PAL is an interlaced format with 25 frames per second and 625 lines per screen. Pixel Short for “picture element.” Unique position on a display that consists of a single dot or group of three dots (red, green & blue). Total pixels are usually expressed in horizontal x vertical dimensions (e.g. 640 x 480). Power ON/OFF switch The power ON/OFF switch is used to turn the machine on and off. The power switch is located on the back of the projector in the lower left-hand corner.
30 3MÔ Multimedia Projector MP8610Ó 3M 1998 Refresh rate The number of times the screen image is “painted” or refreshed per second, expressed in Hz. Remote control sensor The remote control sensor is located on the front of the projector. It receives signals from the remote control transmitter (direct line-of-site or bounced off of the projection screen) which control the different operating functions of the projector. See remote control transmitter. Remote control transmitter Allows remote operation of the projector functions by aiming the transmitter directly at the sensor (maximum range) on the front of the projector or aiming the transmitter at the projection screen so the signal will bounce off the screen and back to the sensor. The remote also has mouse emulation capability that will also control the mouse functions of the computer-input source. Resolution The number of pixels available in a display device for creating images. Expressed as a number of columns by number of rows (e.g. VGA resolution, 640 x 480 or 720 x 400). S-Video A video signal that separates luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) signals. Also known as Y/C video. SECAM (Séquentiel Couleur à Mémoire) The color television standard developed in France and used in certain other countries. SYNC The timing of the computers video signal. Usually a PC uses two separate lines for horizontal synchronization (beginning of the line) and vertical synchronization (beginning of the frame). This scheme is called separate sync. If the two synchronization signals are transmitted on a single extra line, this is called composite sync. If the composite sync signal is transmitted together with a video signal (usually the green video signal), this is called sync on green. The projector can be set to handle all three kinds if synchronization schemes. Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) A tiny (less than fifty microns across) nearly transparent wafer of semi-conduction silicon. These act as extremely precise electronic switching mechanisms. VGA (Video Graphics Array) This is a standard analog interface for PC computers. The resolution for text mode is 720 x 400 and for graphics mode 640 x 480. Video The capability to project images from a VCR, Laser Disc, or PC with CD-ROM Drive is a standard analog interface for PC computers. The resolution for text mode is 720 x 400 and for graphics mode 640 x 480.

Working With Pads Instrument Pads38 Pad Section For instrument pads, the Pad section on the Agent page contains several playback functions and settings. Active Activates/Deactivates playback for the pad. Exclusive Activates/Deactivates exclusive playback for a pad. Triggering an exclusive pad stops playback of the current pattern, according to the set restart mode. Pads for which this button is not activated can pl ay simultaneously with other patterns. If Ex clusive mode is activated for a pad, this is indicated by an icon in the upper left corner of a pad. Jam State Determines the play orde r of the pads if the Jam Mo de button is activated and the pattern pad is in exclusive mode. Play Mode • To play a pattern for as long as you hold down a key, select Ho ld. • To start and stop playback with th e trigger note for a pad, select Toggle. Toggle mode is best used for live performances. Otherwise, it can lead to unpredictable results, for exampl e, when stopping and restarting playback in the host application or when locating to another position during playback. • To play a pattern complete ly to its end, select One Shot. In this mode, note-off events are ignored. Playback stops automatically at the end of the pattern. To make sure that th e pattern plays from start to end, deactivate Sync to Beat . Restart Mode Determines whether a pattern starts to play immediately, at the next beat, or at the next full measure. Sync to Beat If Sync to Beat is activated, triggering a pattern starts the pattern in sync with any other patterns that are playing. Fo r example, if you trigger a pattern and trigger the next pattern afte r 3 beats, this pattern starts playing at beat 3. If Sync to Beat is deactivated, the second pa ttern starts from the beginning.
Working With Pads Instrument Pads39 Velocity ModeSpecifies how the velocity of the notes that you play affects the notes of the pattern. •If Or iginal is selected, the notes of the pattern are played with the velocity that is saved with the pattern. •If As Played is selected, the notes of the pattern are played with the velocity that you are playing on the keyboard. •If Original + As Played is selected, the pattern velocity is determined by the combination of the velocity saved with the pattern and the velocity of your playing. Jam Mode Jam mode allows you to automatically switch betwee n pattern pads during playback. For example, you can switch from an intro to a verse, or from a fill back to the previous verse, or even automatically stop playback. Jam mode is useful if you want to play along and jam with Groove Agent. But it is much more flexible than a static song or pattern list. If the Jam Mode button is activated, the Play Mode and Restart Mode parameters are not available for pads in exclusive mo de. These pads are played back with a single click. Patterns only switch afte r entire bars. Pattern pads for which the Exclusive Mode button is deactivated behave like normal. Jam States How the pattern pads behave in jam mode is defined by the Jam States setting. This parameter is available if the Jam Mode button and the Exclusive Mode button are activated for a pattern pad. Standard If a pad with Standard jam state is triggered, any previous pads stop playing. The new pad plays exclusively. Next In this mode, playback jumps automa tic ally to the first pad for which Standard jam state is selected and which is mapped higher up on the keyboard. If no pad with Standard jam state exists, the current pad plays back in a loop. Return In this mode, playback jumps back to the previous pad. Use this mode to switch from a pad with a fill back to the previous pad, for example. If you trigger several pads for which Return is activated in sequence, Groove Agent returns to the last pad in Standard, Next , or Stop mode. If no pad was triggered before, the current pad plays back in a loop. Stop Playback stops automatically after the entire pattern was played back.
Working With Pads Instrument Pads40 The jam state is indicated by different icons in the upper left corner of the pads. Pads in Standard , Next, Return , and Stop mode. Using Jam Mode PROCEDURE 1. Load an intro, a verse, a fill, and an ending to 4 consecutive pattern pads. 2. Activate Exclusive Mode for all 4 pads and set up the Jam State as follows: • Set the first pad with the intro to Next. • Set the second pad with the verse to Standard. • Set the third pad with the fill to Return. • Set the fourth pad with the Ending to Stop. 3. Activate the Jam Mode button. The Play button starts blinking to indicate th at Groove Agent is waiting for a pattern pad to be triggered. 4. Trigger the pad with the intro. The intro is played back and afterwards, pl ayback automatically switches to the pad with the verse. The verse is then played back in a loop. 5. Trigger the pad with the fill. After the fill, playback automatically switches back to the pad with the verse. Now, the verse is played back in a loop. 6. Trigger the pad with the ending. Play back stops automatically once playback of the ending is completed. Pattern Section For instrument pads, the Pattern section on the Agent page contains MIDI pattern and pattern player functions. Pattern Player On/Off Activates/Deactivates the pattern player. Pattern Library Allows you to select a MIDI pattern. Click to select the file from the list.
