UTILITIES
SET PLAY KEY
Pressing this shows this screen:
The parameters are:
PLAY KEY MODE This allows you to choose from three ‘play’ modes for the ENT/PLAY
key. These are:
SINGLE Pressing ENT/PLAY will play the selected
sound at C3 (or whatever NOTE 1 is tuned to)
ARPEGGIO This will play NOTES 1 - 4 in succession. This
may be useful to check multi-samples and
sounds across the keyboard’s range when
away from a MIDI keyboard.
CHORD This will play NOTES 1 - 4 simultaneously as
a chord.
NOTE 1 - 4 Allows you to tune the notes to an arpeggio or chord. If SINGLE is selected
in PLAY KEY MODE, only NOTE 1 is used.
TEST TONE
Pressing this puts out a 1kHz sine wave test tone at nominal level through all outputs. Again, this
is mostly for diagnostic purposes for service engineers to check that all the outputs are working
and are at the correct level but you may find it useful for checking audio connections and/or for
setting levels on an external mixer.
NOTE: Because of the way audio is internally routed through the sampler, the test tone actually
passes through the effects sends. The effects are muted when the test tone is being generated
but they are re-initialised when you switch the test tone off resulting in a short burst of reverb
that sounds not unlike a submarine sonar! This is normal and is not a fault with the S6000.
To overcome it, switch FX OUTPUT to OFF in the FX IN/OUTS page.
This problem does not exist on the S5000 unless the EB20 is installed.
