SPECIAL FEATURES: Wizard-Sound-Function (WSF)
Wizard-Sound-Function (WSF)
You have already read about and become familiar with the WIZARD function
in previous Sections. In those Sections the WIZARD button was used for
crossfading two songs.
But, if you activate the WIZARD button while the EDIT TRACKS window is
on display, the button will have a completely different effect. Because you
will be able to use the Wizard Sound Function (= WSF). This is done by MP11
automatically analyzing the MIDI file (from which you have opened the EDIT
TRACKS window) and assigning (also automatically) Insert effects to two
MIDI tracks. WSF is by default deactivated when it comes to editing MIDI
files.
Proceed as follows when you want to use the WSF: First, press one of the
buttons ARTIST, TITLE or GENRE, and select the MIDI song you want (= sha-
ded in color). Then press the PLAY button to start the playback of that song.
Continue by pressing the EDIT button (during the playback). This opens the
EDIT TRACKS window. This window lists all the tracks of the song currently
playing; in addition, the tracks that are actively being played can be iden-
tified by means of a green (blinking) point. Now, press the WIZARD button.
This displays the message „Info - Still Analyzing“. The automatic analysis of
the MIDI file takes a while. The message hides during that process, but MP11
is still working in the background. Therefore, press the WIZARD button once
more after about 5 to 10 seconds (as long as the analysis process continues,
the previously mentioned message will be on display).
When MP11 completes the analysis process and the MIDI file contains
sounds that can have Insert effects assigned to them, the message „INFO
- WSF Wizard Sound Function ON“ will appear on display. In addition, the
tracks, on the EDIT TRACKS window, which have an Insert effect assigned to
them (max. 2 tracks), are now labeled with an (i) before the sound name. If
you want to keep the Insert effects that have been automatically assigned,
press the SAVE button to store the changes. If you do not want to use the as-
signed Insert effects, press the WIZARD button instead of SAVE. This displays
the message „INFO - WSF Wizard Sound Function OFF“, and at the same time
removes the Insert effects, and the SAVE button‘s light turns off.
Important notes:
1) You also have the option of changing the automatically assigned Insert effects
later. To do that, leave the WSF activated and select a different Insert effect using
the DIAL knob. Then press the SAVE button to store the settings.
2) If the Insert effects have been assigned in a MIDI file by activating the WSF (i.e.
not manually - see page 37), you should make subsequent changes regarding
automatically assigned Insert effects only for those tracks that are labeled with
an (i). Because if you for example set one of the two automatically assigned
Insert effects to OFF, and then assign an Insert effect to a track that is not labeled
with an (i), you might damage the file and not be able to play it again (error
message -> „Midifile corrupted“).
3) If you start a selected MIDI file and open the EDIT window and finally activate
the WSF by pressing the WIZARD button, after the analysis you might get the
message „Info - No WSF sounds“ on display. If that happens, MP11 will not be
able to assign Insert effects automatically.
