To select a bank of programs, hold the [PROGRAM ]switch, press [BANK] key, and
enter the appropriate bank number using the 0 through 9 keys. The bank
command will be transmitted when the [PROGRAM] switch is released. The [INC]/
[DEC] keys may be used instead of entering the bank number.
Control # Commands:
There are 127 controller functions that are made up of continuous and switch
control commands. See Figure # 3. The most commonly used controllers are
aftertouch, pitch, modulation, volume and pan. Many expensive keyboard
controllers offer aftertouch, which allows expressive control of sound sources. The
ST-900 allows the same expression via [WHEEL A], Aftertouch, pitch,
(1 through 16). Refer to the sound source s owners manual for this procedure.
3) Connect a momentary footswitch, which circuit is normally open, to the sustain
input jack clearly marked SUSTAIN located next to the MIDI jacks. We recommend
a VFP-1/10 (piano-like sustain pedal) available from Music Industries Corp.
4) Connect a control voltage pedal for volume in the jack clearly marked VOLUME
located next to the sustain jack. We recommend a VP-26 (expression pedal)
available from Music Industries Corp.
Once all connections are in place, press the power switch to the ON position.
Figure #2.
See Figure #2. You will notice on the left a dedicated pitch and a programmable
second wheel, marked [WHEEL A]. With [WHEEL A] you may assign aftertouch,
pitch, modulation, volume and pan as well as any controller (0 -127).
