illustration), these buttons select the track playing mode (Single,
Multi…). The
RIGHT MULTIFUNCTION BUTTON
gains access to the
Save Performance command.
6. DATA ENTRY SECTION.
This section is divided into two
distinct parts:
– the
DIAL
can be rotated freely in both directions to change
the current data value continuously, to change Performance
or Sound, to move the reverse-highlighted cursor within the
menu of the edit pages. The
+1/> and -1/< buttons operate in
exactly the same manner as the Dial, but with single
increments.
ENTER
confirms data entered or commands; in edit environ-
ments, it gains access to parameters that require modifica-
tions.
EXIT
annuls values inserted or cancels some commands.
Pressing
ENTER
when a main display is showing, or when the
Sample Translator is active, will play a note (Sound Test).
– the
ALPHANUMERIC KEYPAD
is used to specify absolute
numeric data or alphabetic data entry. For numeric data
entry, confirmation with
ENTER
is always required. It is also
used to gain direct access to the menu parameters in edit
environments (without the use of
ENTER
).
The Data Entry section also makes use of the
UNDO
function.
UNDO
undoes or reverses the most recent action or restores the last
saved situation. There is also an
UNDO
specific to the sequencer.
7. PANIC. Emergency button which sends an “All Note Off”, a
“Reset Controls” and an “unlock” message to notes and controls
“locked” by, for example, the reception of a “bad” MIDI event..
8. B/SONG and PERFORM. The
B
/
SONG
and
PERFORM
buttons
permit the selection of one of the 10 Bank/Songs which can be
present in the S2R memory and one of the 10 possible Perform-
ances contained in the selected Bank/Song.
9. UTILITY. Gains access to several useful applications: change
Performance or Bank/Song name, cancel Bank/Song and
Performance, copy Bank/Song and Performance.
10. PRELOAD. Allows background song loading (while the
sequencer is in playback).
11. EFFECTS LIBRARIES. Storage facilities for the Effects, one
for the Reverberations and another for the Modulations.
12. SOUND LIBRARY. An archive which stores all the Sounds in
the instrument’s memory. Incorporated are functions which
permit the importation of single Sounds from floppy disks which
contain other Sound Libraries (imp_disk and imp_ramd).
13. DISK. Gains access to all the data handling procedures on
floppy disk and Ram-disk. The operations are Load, Save, Erase
and a Utility menu with several functions (Format, Disk Name,
M
IDI
-file conversion).
14. CLIPBOARD. An application which allows “clips” of edit
situations to be stored and used in other edit environments to save
time.
15. NORMAL. Returns to the main display from any situation.
16. CONTRAST. Controls the brightness of the display and
requires adjustment for different angles.
17. EFF. BYPASS. A temporary deactivating device for the
Effects (led on) - the sounds are emitted “dry” from the Stereo
Left & Right Outputs. Normally (led off), the sounds are emitted
“wet” from this output pair.
18. TRACK TRANSPOSER. Individual and independent Track
Transposer. Also provides the “Master” command which gains
access to the general transposition of the instrument.
19. DISK DRIVE.
Reads and formats 3.5” HD floppy disks
(force-format to 1.62 Mb) for the saving and loading of S2/S3
data. Also formats, reads and writes on 3.5” DD floppies (Ms-
Dos or Atari) for MIDI-file data exchange. Recognises and loads
samples from Akai S/1000 format disks.
20. ON/OFF PUSH BUTTON. Press this button to turn S2R on or
off.
