A. PATCH CONTROL
PATCH/
SONG
Switch the Xylosynth between incremental patch up/down
control or song list control. There is a shortcut between these
by pressing the SAVE button to the left of the display.
B. MIDI FORMAT
0-127/1-128
Sets the first programme number, bank number and patch to
display either 0 or 1. MIDI standard starts on 0 but many
connecting devices start on 1.
C. MIDDLE C FORMAT
C4/C5
Sets middle C, MIDI note number 60, to display either C4 or
C5. MIDI standard states that middle C is C5 but C4 is more
commonly used for middle C.
D. NOISE THRESHOLD
0-200
Threshold above which the instrument does not pick up
external noise and trigger randomly (blue light flashes
randomly). Will also affect the sensitivity of the lightest hits.
May only need to adjust one or two notches either way. See
9.0.
E. MAX POLYPHONY
64,128, 256, 512
This sets the maximum number of sounds heard at the same
time. Too small and notes may be missed. Too high and
latency may be noticeable, especially on computer based
systems. This setting is about optimising your sound source as
certain sound sources can only work with a limited polyphony.
F. KEY CALIBRATION
If a key is replaced or becomes less sensitive the individual key can be adjusted
to bring the key/s into line. Screen 1 shows the key number and original sensitivity.
Bring your new or 'waning' key sensitivity into line at about 100. A waning or
'losing sensitivity' key will have lost some dynamic after this process but will still
play. This won't work if the key is broken. Press
SAVE
and the results are now
saved and you will be back in Global Settings screen. YOU CAN PRESS EXIT AT
ANY TIME.
G. DISPLAY
Brightness – OFF to 100
H. CREATE BACKUP
Backs up all your patch settings – takes ≈ 5mins
I. RESTORE BACKUP
Overwrites the patch settings using the back up stored settings - takes ≈ 5mins
J. FACTORY RESET
Overwrites all settings to the factory default - takes ≈ 5mins
PRESS 'EXIT' AT ANY TIME TO GET OUT OF A SCREEN.
8.2 Song List
Instead of scrolling through all 128 patches you may want to create a song list of a few
favourite patches or of the patches you need for a certain performance. See 8.0 on how to
get into the Song List edit screen and on how to choose using patch and octave buttons.
