SWITCHING BETWEEN
THE SDS 9 MAIN MODES
(OR-THE MODE BUTTON)
You will by now have noticed that there is a led above the mode button that
has been lit the play led - indicating you are in play mode! In play mode the
five buttons take the meaning described in the column above the play led
(e.g. button tap, auto trig etc.).
When you switch on the SDS 9 it will always power-up in play mode, with
factory kit A1 selected. This is the normal 'playing' mode where all the
sounds are available to you for performance. The other two modes are used
to program the various functions of the SDS 9, i.e. the sounds and midi.
If you press the "Mode" button you will see the play led go off and the 'prog'
led come on. This indicates that you are now in programming mode. The
five buttons now take on the meaning described in the column above the
prog led (e.g. voice select, save voice etc.). If you keep pressing the mode
button you will move to the midi mode, and again moves you back to the
play mode.
Thus you can tell what mode you are in and very easily what function each
button currently is used for.
