«Emergency» buttons
These buttons provide a means of escaping from “locked” situations or to carry out a “quick
check” of MIDI connections and sounds without effects, and they are available at all times.
PANIC
MIDI communications can sometimes “lock” the instrument due to the transmission of an
excessive quantity of data, or by an incorrect message. The PANIC button sends “All notes
off” and “Reset Controls” messages the internal sound generation and to all MIDI devices
connected to the MIDI OUT, interrupting any locked notes and controllers.
MIDI OFF (S2/S3)
Activating this button (led on) deactivates the M
IDI
ports. Warning: Do not press this
button while the S Series instrument is transmitting or receiving data; otherwise, the entire
M
IDI
setup can lock.
EFF. BYPASS
The Sounds emitted by the
LEFT
and
RIGHT
* Audio Outputs is processed by the two DSPs
(Effects processors - sounds are said to be emitted “wet”). If you want to use an external
effects processor, or if you want to listen to your sound in its pure form (dry), press the EFF.
BYPASS button to bypass the DSP.
When the DSPs are deactivated, the led on the button is on.
Reactivate the Effects to the Audio Outputs by repressing the button.
UNDO
In most parts of the edit environments,
UNDO
cancels the most recent operation, restoring
the original status of the element in edit. U
NDO
also “undoes” itself: by pressing it a second
time, it restores the cancelled situation: this is a useful way of comparing two different
situations before making a final decision.
* The
OUTPUTS
1, 2, 3, 4
always emit the sounds in
their “pure” form (dry).
