8.4. GLOBAL SETTINGS
Some settings of the instrument have an overall meaning; you don't need to
change them very often, or to recall different parameters configurations; so the
instrument is only able to keep these settings stored from the latest power-off. Anyway,
you can change these parameters whenever you like, using the GLOBAL SETTINGS
button, placed to the farthest right on the front panel. You can also save and recall the
global settings using the floppy disk, as shown in Paragraph 7.4.
When you press the GLOBAL SETTINGS button, the related LED will light up
and a three-fields
pop-up screen will appear; by selecting each of these fields, you will
set the parameters listed here below.
1-MIDI: MIDI interface settings. For a full explanation, please contact Viscount.
2-Display: setting of the LCD screen contrast. If you select this option, a
pop-up
window will appear, where it is possible to set the LCD screen contrast, turning the
encoder when the cursor is on the
Contrast field.
The
Hold Windows field allows to specify if the pop-up windows, used to set the
instrument parameters, are to stay open on the screen until you activate the EXIT
button (
Hold Windows enabled), or if these windows have to disappear after an idle time
of about 15 seconds (
Hold Windows disabled).
3-Karaoke: karaoke settings. As already seen Chapter 1, if you play back a MIDI
track with lyrics, you can see them on the graphic screen. The 3-Karaoke field allows to
enable or disable this option (
Karaoke enable), and to select the font size of the text
displayed on the graphic screen, using the
Big Fonts field.
