CD-302 Quick Start Guide
So you don't want to read the manual. This card can be kept with you wherever you
take your CD-302 and covers common basic operations that may not be obvious. This guide assumes
all settings on the CD-302 are set to factory defaults. If you've changed the defaults, then you've read the
manual and you can put this away.

The IN button begins sampling. The OUT button ends sampling. There are 10
seconds of sample memory. If 10 seconds goes by without ending sampling then
sampling will automatically end at 10 seconds. When sampling is finished the

SAMPLE and OUT at the same time. To enable/disable reverse play of the sample
press SAMPLE and IN at the same time. To clear the sample press IN and OUT
at the same time. Loop play and reverse play of the sample are indicated by the
LED's below the SAMPLE button. Pitch control will not affect sampled audio.
The ability to store five independent cue points was added after the
main manual was written and requires version 1.10 software. To
check you software version: Open a CD tray and press ENTER, TAP
