9.4 Patch Template
This is a template for copying changes to multiple patches such as transposing all your
patches to a different key or setting minimum velocity. It is the same list as the for patch
settings. 1. Select the item in the list you want to change using the up/down patch buttons.
2. Select your change using the left/right octave shift buttons. 3. Press SAVE (if you have
gone into a second screen such as for jack inputs press exit first to get back to main patch
template screen) and follow the instructions – select ALL to change all 200 patches or
select SELECTED and choose patches using up/down arrows and left/right arrows ⌂. 4.
Press SAVE and then a fresh template screen will appear. 5. Make another change or
EXIT into Performance Mode.
10.0 The Noise Threshold
This is the threshold at which the instrument will trigger - a sound will be heard or the blue
LED will flash. So that even the gentlest strikes produce a sound we have set the noise
threshold at 7
.
This may be too sensitive for some players. In electrically 'noisy
environments' on stage or when taking sounds from an 'electrically noisy' laptop the
instrument may pick up unwanted external influence and the blue LED will flash randomly.
Just raise the threshold a notch or two to remedy. You can find this setting in Global
Settings E. If you don't like the new setting repeat the process.
11.0 Different Ways of Manipulating Your Sound Volume.
1. Turn the sensitivity knob up to increase volume (affects the instrument Globally)
Sensitivity can also be foot pedal controlled, see Patch Settings U. N. sensitivity.
2. You could use an expression pedal – see Patch Settings U. Jack Input settings
L.CC message 7 Channel Volume (not for internal sounds). Or use a volume pedal
between sound source and amplification.
3. Increase dynamic sensitivity of the keyboard in a particular patch – Patch Settings –
T. Dynamic Gain – toggle ON – raise bottom key sensitivity (up to a gain of 9.9) and
top key sensitivity to match (up to a gain of 9.9). Or, to mimic a wooden barred
instrument such as Xylophone/Marimba you may want to set the top key sensitivity
to be less than the bottom key sensitivity.
4. Raise minimum volume in your patch setting – F. Min Velocity - so that your sound
makes an entrance even if you have hit too softly (useful in theatre/ensemble work).
5. Lower maximum volume in your patch setting G.Max Velocity – so that your sound
won't be too loud even if you have hit too hard (useful in theatre/ensemble work).
12.0 Internal Sounds
You can access the internal sounds either through the headphone socket or through the
line out to amplification. There is no direct volume knob. The left hand Jack is designed for
headphones and the right hand for line out or to amplification. The headphone output is
approximately twice as loud as the line out.
The following sounds are accessed from Midi Program numbers 1-128 (0-127) and Midi
Channel Numbers 1-9 and 11-16. Midi Channel 10 is reserved for a set of percussion
sounds. The numbers should refer to the numbers on the display. If this is out by one then
