8 LAYOUTS
– the
ALPHANUMERIC KEYPAD
is used to specify absolute
numeric data or alphabetic data. For numeric data entry,
confirmation with
ENTER
is always required. It is also used to
gain direct access to the menu parameters in edit environ-
ments (without the use of
ENTER
).
The Data Entry section also makes use of the
UNDO
function.
UNDO
undoes or reverses the most recent action or restores the last
saved situation. There is also an
UNDO
specific to the sequencer.
7. PANIC. Emergency button which sends an “All Note Off”, a
“Reset Controls” and an “unlock” message to notes and controls
“locked” by, for example, the reception of a “bad” MIDI event.
8. PERFORMANCE. Performance select buttons.
9. BANK/SONG.
Bank/Song select buttons.
10. PRELOAD.
Allows background song loading (while the
sequencer is in playback).
11. UTILITY.
Gains access to several useful applications: change
Performance or Bank/Song name, cancel Bank/Song and
Performance, copy Bank/Song and Performance.
12. MASTER TRANSPOSE. General transposer, in semitone
steps.
13. MIDI OFF. Allows the temporary disconnection of the MIDI
ports (when the led is on).
14. EFFECTS LIBRARIES. Storage facilities for the Effects,
one for the Reverberations and another for the Modulations.
15. SOUND LIBRARY. An archive which stores all the Sounds
in the instrument’s memory. Incorporated are functions which
permit the importation of single Sounds from floppy disks
containing other Sound Libraries (imp_disk and imp_ramd).
16. DISK.
Gains access to all the data handling procedures on
floppy disk and Ram-disk. The operations are Load, Save, Erase
and a Utility menu with several functions (Format, Disk Name,
M
IDI
-file conversion).
17. CLIPBOARD.
An application which allows “clips” of edit
situations to be stored and used in other edit environments to save
time.
18. NORMAL. Returns to the main display from any situation.
19. CONTRAST. Controls the brightness of the display and
requires adjustment for different viewing angles.
20. EFF. BYPASS. A temporary deactivating device for the
Effects (led on) - the sounds are emitted “dry” from the Stereo
Left & Right Outputs. Normally (led off), the sounds are emitted
“wet” from this output pair.
21. TRACK TRANSPOSER. Individual and independent Track
Transposer. Also provides the “Master” command which gains
access to the general transposition of the instrument.
22. DISK DRIVE. Reads and formats 3.5” HD floppy disks
(force-format to 1.62 Mb) for the saving and loading of S Series
data. Also formats, reads and writes on 3.5” DD floppies (Ms-
Dos or Atari) for MIDI-file data exchange. Recognises and loads
samples from Akai S/1000 format disks.
23. WHEELS. Two wheels completely and independently
programmable. The left Wheel is predisposed for Pitch Bend and
is spring loaded to return to the centre position. The right wheel,
normally assigned to provide Modulation, is centre-dented so that
you can take it exactly to centre position. Its normal position is
with the centre-dented mark at its lowest point to avoid hearing
Sounds with Modulation.
24. PHONES.
Stereo headphones socket.
