Loading macro settings
As a convenience when you are creating a new performance or editing an existing performance, the SGproX
provides “macro settings” (frequently-used combinations of
timbre settings) which you can load into the timbres that you
specify.
The settings will be loaded into the timbre(s) that are enclosed by square brackets [ ]. (For example, if the display
indicates “AB1[23456]78,” the macro data will be loaded into timbres 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.)
For the timbres which are not specified (for example when the display indicates “AB1[23456]78,” timbres
A, B, 1, 7 and 8), you can choose whether to maintain their previous settings (UNTOUCH) or to turn the
timbre off (OFF). Then, refer to the macro setting table ( p.45), choose the desired type of macro, and load it.
Procedure for macro settings
1. Select the timbre(s) for which you wish to make settings.
Use the
〈
CURSOR
〉
switches to make the “[” or “]” blink, and use the
〈
VALUE
〉
switches to move them in the
display.
Timbres enclosed by the “[” and “]” in the display will be selected for setting. (For example, if the display
indicates “AB1[23456]78,” timbres 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be selected.)
2. Press the
〈
CURSOR
〉
switches to make the unselected timbres (if the display indicates “AB1[23456]78,”
timbres A, B, 1, 7 and 8 are unselected) blink, and use the
〈
VALUE
〉
switches to specify either OFF or
UNTOUCH for these timbres.
OFF
The unselected timbres will be set to “.” The
〈
SW/CHANNEL
〉
setting of page 3 will be
turned “OFF” for unselected timbres. (If the display indicates “...[23456]..” timbres A, B,
1, 7, and 8 are OFF.)
UNTOUCH
Unselected timbres will be displayed as usual (characters or numerals). Even when macro
data is loaded, the unselected timbres will retain their previous settings. (If the display
indicates “AB1[23456]78,” timbres A, B, 1, 7 and 8 are unselected.)
3. Press the
〈
CURSOR
〉
switches to move to the next screen, and use the
〈
VALUE
〉
switches to select the
type of macro settings.
LAYER: The Key Zone and Velocity Zone will be set to their full ranges for all selected timbres.
SPLIT:
The keyboard will be divided (in one-octave units) by the number of selected timbres. The
Key Zone of each selected timbre will also be set so as to assign each timbre to its own area
of the keyboard.
VEL SW: The range of velocities will be equally divided by the number of selected timbres. The Veloc-
ity Zone of each selected timbre will also be set so as to assign each timbre to its own velocity
zone.
GM_A: Make settings for initializing an external MIDI device for GM operation. (Refer to the list on p.45)
GM_B: Make settings for initializing an external MIDI device for GM operation. (Refer to the list on
p.45)
RESET: Initialize the timbre(s). (Refer to the list on p.45.)
4. Use the
〈
CURSOR
〉
switches to make “OK?” blink.
5. Press the
〈
+1/YES
〉
switch, and the display will ask “Are
You Sure OK?”
6. Press the
〈
+1/YES
〉
switch. The display will indicate “Completed.”
Timbre 8 and timbre A are considered to be connected, so when the display is “AB1]23456[78” the selected timbres
are 7, 8, A, B and 1.
How the keyboard will be divided for SPLIT
The locations at which the division will occur will depend on the number of timbres. Lower-numbered
timbres (in the order of 1 to 8, A, B) will be assigned to a lower area of the keyboard.
The settings made here may fall outside the playable range of notes for the internal tone generator or exter-
nal MIDI devices. If this occurs, modify the values individually after you load the macro.
For your reference, (here are some notes and their note numbers) : C–1:00, C1:24, C2:36, C3:48, C4:60,
C5:72, C6:84, C7:96, G9:127.
Example: With a display of “A].......[78” if you selected SPLIT, the entire range would be divided into three
areas, with timbre 7 assigned to the low range (C–1 to B1), timbre 8 to the middle range (B2 to B5),
and timbre A to the high range (C6 to G9). In this case, other timbres would be turned off, and will
neither sound nor transmit.
