System exclusive data are manufacture and product specific data.
They transfer the sounds and system information between the same MIDI instruments or to and from
a sequencer for the purpose of data recording. The transfer of this data is called MIDI data dump.
The temporary memory is a data buffer where the current changes are being
saved. After a in performance operation they are lost. Through the MIDI data
dump function in the Sirius, you can transfer and save the temporary memory.
By listening or arranging a sequencer song you would like to silent certain parts at times
to be able to concentrate on the other tracks. The Sirius has several Mute functions that you can also
use in live action. The way to produce Techno excitement and breaks is purposely leaving in and
taking out single tracks and motives.
When the transposing mode is turned on, you can change the pitch of the playback in
the range of one octave. In the Sirius, you can find the transpose mode in the edit-system menu.
Transposing during playback is called realtime transposing.
Trigger is an impulse which can be used to create a function. For example, when you press
a key on the Sirius, you trigger the of a sound
The tuning (tone frequency) defines the tone height of a sound. The higher the tone
frequency in cycles per second, the higher the tone.
When turning on an instrument, there can be a turn on static. Make sure that the
amplifier is turned on last to avoid a scratching sound.

synthesizer.-
