OTHER DEFINITIONS
Booting the Emulator II
is not a repair technique; rather, it is a computer term that means
“putting a disk in the disk drive after you first turn it on, and having the computer read software
necessary for its operation from that disk”. (It’s easy to see why this was shortened to “booting”.)
To boot, insert a Performance or Library disk in the drive before, or just after, you turn on the
Emulator II. Closing the disk drive latch tells the Emulator to start reading the software. Once
booted, the instrument is ready to go. (Note: Booting from a Performance disk takes longer than
booting from a Library disk since after booting, the Emulator II loads the Performance disk Bank
data.)
A Default setting
is what we’ve judged to be a useful initial setting, and remains in effect until
you change it. For example, the mic preamp in the sampling section defaults to zero gain when
you first turn on the Emulator II. Had it defaulted to the maximum gain position, this might have
blasted your ears off if you accidentally put in a line level signal, so we figured zero gain was
better.
The display’s cursor
, a small line, will flash when it wants data from you about the number or
letter under which it is located. Entering a new value over-write the old one, whereupon the
cursor moves on to the next number or letter (if applicable).
Note:
If the Emulator II is expecting a two or three-digit number, you must enter all the required
digits even if some of these are zeroes (called “leading zeroes”). For example, if the Emulator II
is expecting a three-digit number and you want to enter 8, you would enter 008. If it were
expecting a single-digit number, entering 8 would be sufficient.
Saving
is the important process of saving your work to disk. Despite what computer
manufacturers would like you to believe, computers are not infallible and besides, the world
sometimes plays cruel tricks (like a power surge in the middle of a sampling session). To help
defy Murphy’s Law (“if anything can go wrong, it will”), whenever you have done enough work
on a Voice or Bank that you would hate to lose it, save it on at least one disk. Should you
improve the Voice or Bank later, you can always replace the original with the revised version --
and if something goes wrong, the original will still be available to save you the hassle of starting
from scratch.
