Initializing and Calibration
140
Initializing the Sirius and calibration of the controllers:
The initializing should only be done on advice of the Service department. Always remember the
complete data will be lost.
Clearing the memory and calibrating the controllers.
Calibrating the controllers without losing data.
The initializing resets the Instrument to the time of delivery. At this time all saved User data (sounds,
patterns and songs and all pertaining adjustments) are cancelled. The calibration of the controllers
(modulation and pitch bend wheel) is used to adjust these operating devices
There are two ways of initializing. First the pitch bend and modulation wheel can be adjusted
(calibrated) without losing the memory. The second possibility is to completely clear the user
memory, resetting all internal parameters and also to re-calibrate the controllers.
To start the initializing you have to do the following:
When the SIRIUS is turned off hold the WRITE button, then turn on the Sirius. The following
message is in the display
You can decide here if you want to clear memory or just calibrate the controller.
If you confirm (OK) a bar in the display will show how far the initializing has taken place.
When this is finished, you will be asked to calibrate the controller. See the following instructions. Do
not turn your instrument off and initialize again.
To calibrate the controllers without losing data, follow the directions: Push the button (F3) to initialize
with (cancel). You are now in the calibration menus of the Sirius.
Turn the modulation wheel completely down and hold the pitch bend wheel in the down position.
Confirm with the left button (F1) under the display. The following display will be shown:
Repeat the last setting by putting the wheels in the upper position and press the F-1 button.
Afterwards you are in the Test menu. Here you can test if the calibration was correct.
The pitch bender should show 64 when untouched, 127 at the top and 0 at the bottom. The
modulation wheel should show 0 at the bottom and 127 at the top. If you do not have these values
you can repeat this once again.
