Introduction

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM PLAYER 3000B (hereafter simply called the "3000B"). The 3000B is a bass multi-effect device with the following features:
45 built in effects types covering a wide range. Up to 9 effects can be combined in a patch, letting you easily create your own sound. Many special effects designed to enhance a bass guitar performance. DEFRET makes a normal bass sound like a fretless bass. SLAP achieves slapping sound from 2-finger playing. Built-in bass synthesizer detects bass pitch and controls a sound source to generate unison phrases and harmonic voices. Unusual auto effects such as TRILL and SWEEP are also available. Hold delay function is separate from individual effects and can store and repeat phrases of up to 6 seconds duration. The delay time can be conveniently set by tapping a foot switch. User-definable FUNCTION switch operates as a bypass or mute switch and can also be used as real-time controller, for example to vary effect parameters or volume during a performance. Connecting the optional remote pedal RP01 provides an even more powerful range of real-time controller functions. Use as pedal wah or pedal pitch shifter is also possible. Input sensitivity and tone can be adjusted to match the instrument characteristics and the playing venue. Built-in metronome function and auto-chromatic tuner enhance practice sessions.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully, so as to get the most out of your 3000B and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

s Patches, groups, and banks

PRESET group BANK 9

USER group BANK 9
Internal settings for the 3000B can be stored in PATCH 1 PATCH 1 PATCH 2 PATCH 2 memory and retrieved from memory in units called BANK 0 BANKPATCH 3 BANK 0 BANKPATCH 3 "patches". A patch contains a maximum of seven PATCHPATCH PATCHPATCH PATCH 1 PATCH 1 PATCH 2 PATCH 2 effect modules, each with its selected settings. PATCH 2 PATCH 2 PATCH 3 PATCH 3 PATCH 3 PATCH 3 Patches are stored in two distinct groups: the USER PATCH 4 PATCH 4 PATCH 4 PATCH 4 group for patches that can be freely altered by the user, and the PRESET group for patches that are read-only. Each group has room for 40 patches, resulting in a total memory capacity for 80 patches. Patches are called up in sets of four, corresponding to the four large foot switches on the top panel of the 3000B. Such a set of four patches is called a "bank". The USER group and the PRESET group each have ten banks, numbered from 0 through 9.
s Effect types and parameters
Each effect module of the 3000B has several variations, called "effect types". At any given time, one effect type is selected for an effect module.
The detailed settings that determine the sound are called "parameters". The 3000B has three different kinds of parameters:
Effect parameter Determines the effect intensity or signal flow in an effect module. Effect parameter settings are stored as part of each patch. Patch parameter Determines the overall level of a patch, Zoom Noise Reduction (ZNR) settings, and other aspects affecting the entire patch. Patch parameters are stored as part of each patch. Global parameter This kind of parameter affects all patches in the same way. For example, the FUNCTION Mode parameter that determines how the FUNCTION switch works is a global parameter. This setting is retained also when switching patches, until the unit is turned off. When wishing to preserve the global parameter setting, any patch of the USER group should be selected and stored before turning the unit off.

The effect types and effect parameters available for a given effect module are indicated on the panel of the 3000B.

s Mode

Operation of the 3000B can be divided into five different states, called "modes". These modes are listed below. Play mode In this mode, you select patches and use the effects for playing your instrument. In Play mode, you can also temporarily switch effects off, and you can use the auto tuner function. Manual mode In this mode, you can switch effect modules on and off individually, using the top panel switches of the 3000B. This is also suitable for use during a performance. Edit mode In this mode, the effect parameters of the currently selected patch can be edited (changed) by the user. This allows you to create your own patches. Store mode This mode serves for storing patches in memory and for copying patches from one location in memory to another. Special mode This mode serves for initializing the 3000B. USER group settings and patches can be selectively returned to the factory default.
The 3000B incorporates a so-called RTM (real-time modulation) function which lets the user change effect parameters or volume in real time, using the FUNCTION switch or the optional remote pedal RP01. This makes it possible to adjust for example overdrive distortion or reverb mix during a performance, creating a wide expression range. The parameters to be affected by RTM and the range of the change can be set for each patch individually.
The Play mode is for selecting a patch and playing. When you power up the 3000B, it automatically activates in Play mode, and the USER group's Bank 0, Patch Number 1 is selected.

Parameters for modules that are switched off cannot be edited.
Depending on the type selected for the effect module, some parameters may have no setting item. When such a parameter is selected, the display shows "-.-.". For information on effect types and parameters.
Switching Effect Modules On/Off
In Edit mode, the effect modules can be switched on or off freely.
Use the Module Select keys to select the desired effect module.
In Edit mode, the module LEDs light for effect modules that are currently on. The LED for the module that is selected for editing flashes. By pressing the MODULE Select key directly under the module LED, this LED starts to flash.
Pressing the MODULE Select key once more turns the effect module on or off.
The MODULE key can be used to toggle the module on or off. When off, the module LED goes out. The module on/off state can be stored as part of a patch, by performing the store operation as described on page 19. In Manual mode, the BANK switch and Foot Switches 1 - 4 can HINT be used to switch modules on and off. For details, please refer to page 23. In Play mode, modules can be switched on and off by pressing the Module Select keys.

The following FUNCTION switch modes 1 - 9 are available.

1: BANK DOWN

Switches the bank to the next lower number (opposite direction from the BANK switch). This mode is useful when banks are to be switched often during a performance.

2: MANUAL

Toggles between Manual mode (in which Foot Switches 1 - 4 can be used to individually switch modules on and off) and regular Play mode. For information on Manual mode, please refer to page 23. This mode is useful when modules are to be switched on and off during a performance.
3: HOLD DLY (LONG) 4: HOLD DLY (REAL)
Controls the hold delay feature (page 24) for recording and playing a phrase during a performance. In the HOLD DLY (LONG) mode, maximum recording time is 6 seconds. In the HOLD DLY (REAL) mode, maximum recording time is 3 seconds, with higher sound quality.

5: DELAY (TAP)

Allows tap input of the delay time for the hold delay feature (page 26). Useful for controlling the delay time according to the tempo of a song.

6: SYNTH HOLD

In this mode, the sound produced by the SYNTH module is held constant for as long as the FUNCTION switch is pressed. Pressing the FUNCTION switch once more releases the hold mode.

7: BYPASS 8: MUTE

Toggles the Bypass state or Mute state on and off. When one of these FUNCTION switch modes is selected, the Foot Switches 1 - 4 cannot be used to control the Bypass state (page 9) or Mute state (page 10). This is to prevent inadvertent activation of Bypass or Mute during a performance.

9: RTM

Controls a selected effect parameter or the volume in real time. For details, please refer to page 27.
Press the EDIT key once more.
FUNCTION Mode is a global parameter whose setting does not change when a different patch is selected. If not stored, the setting reverts to the previous value when the unit is turned off and then on again. When wishing to store the setting, select any patch in the USER group and store it as described on page 19.
In Manual mode, effect modules can be switched on and off individually during a performance. When the FUNCTION Mode parameter is set to "2", the FUNCTION switch can be used to toggle between Manual mode and regular Play mode. Manual mode operation is described below.

Set the FUNCTION switch to "2: MANUAL", as described on page 21. Press the FUNCTION switch while the 3000B is in Play mode.
The indication "Mn" appears on the display. The FUNCTION LED lights up.
Use the BANK switch to select effect modules to be assigned to Foot Switches 1 - 4.
In Manual mode, the BANK Switch is used to assign effect modules to Foot Switches 1 - 4. When the LED of the BANK switch is lit, the following effect modules can be assigned to the Foot Switches 1 - 4. When the BANK switch was pressed and the LED flashes, the following modules can be assigned to the Foot Switches 1 - 4.

Use the Foot Switches 1 - 4 to turn the respective effect module on or off.
To switch to another patch, press the FUNCTION switch once more.
The FUNCTION LED goes out and the 3000B returns to Play mode.
Recording/Playing a Phrase (Hold Delay)
When the FUNCTION Mode parameter is set to "3: HOLD DLY (LONG)" or "4: HOLD DLY (REAL)", the FUNCTION switch can be used to control the hold delay function. While you keep the FUNCTION switch depressed, play is sampled (recorded digitally) and then repeated by the 3000B.

2, 3, 4

Set the FUNCTION Mode parameter to "3: HOLD DLY (LONG)" or "4: HOLD DLY (REAL)".
For information on how to select the mode, refer to page 21. In the HOLD DLY (LONG) mode, maximum recording time is 6 seconds. In the HOLD DLY (REAL) mode, maximum recording time is 3 seconds, with higher sound quality. Choose the appropriate mode, depending on the length of the phrase you want to record.
While playing your instrument, press the FUNCTION switch at the point where you want to start sampling, and hold the FUNCTION switch down.

Step on the FUNCTION switch twice, to match the tempo.
The 3000B detects the interval in which the FUNCTION switch was pressed, and the delay time will be set in the DLY/REV module. If the FUNCTION switch operation interval exceeds the maximum delay time, the original delay time setting remains active. The maximum delay time is 1000 ms when the effect type is DELAY and 500 ms when the effect type is DLY+REV.

delay time

Delay time tap input can be performed in Play mode or Edit mode. In either mode, the delay time setting will be lost when the unit is turned off, unless the patch was stored. For information on how to store patches, please refer to page 19. If the optional remote pedal RP01 is connected and set to DELAY mode, delay time tap input is possible only with the foot switch of the remote pedal RP01 (page 38).
Adjusting Effect Parameters in Real Time (RTM)
When the FUNCTION Mode is set to "9: RTM", the so-called RTM (real-time modulation) function can be used. RTM allows the user to change effect parameters in real time, using the FUNCTION switch. To use RTM, the reference setting (before change by RTM) and the maximum or minimum value (after change by RTM) must be set for each effect module.
1, 9 11, 12 3, 5, 7 3, 4, 6 2
Use the Module Select keys to choose the module to be controlled by RTM.
If the module is off, press the Module Select key once more to turn it on.
Effect parameters of the COMP module and EQ module cannot be controlled by RTM.
Use the Parameter Select keys and the VALUE knob to choose the effect type.
METRO ON/OFF METRO TEMPO METRO VOL
Use the Parameter Select keys to choose the effect parameter to be controlled by RTM.
Which parameter can be controlled depends on the effect type. In the "Effect Types and Parameters" table on page 4052, the parameter
marked with " RTM" can be controlled by RTM. For example, when the effect type CHO is selected for the EFFECT module, the "Mix" parameter can be controlled by RTM.
Use the VALUE knob to adjust the value of the effect parameter.
The value set in this way becomes the reference setting for RTM.
Use the Parameter Select keys to choose parameter 6.

MASTER MID MASTER LOW

For every effect module except for the COMP module and EQ module, parameter 6 is the RTM parameter which determines the maximum (or minimum) value that is reached by RTM control.
Use the VALUE knob to adjust the RTM parameter.
For example, if the "Mix" parameter was set to "50" in step 5, and the RTM parameter is "0", the adjustment range is 0 - 50. When the parameter is "100", the adjustment range is 50 - 100. When the RTM parameter is "oF", RTM control cannot be used for that module.

While it is possible to perform RTM control and delay time tap input using only the controls on the 3000B itself, connecting the optional remote pedal RP01 will make these functions even easier to use, thereby increasing your playing scope during a performance. This section explains various way of using the remote pedal RP01.
