OPERATION
GUIDE DISK
The
OPERATION
GUIDE DISK
has been
prepared
to
help users
understand the
various
functions
of
the
S900
faster and
more
precisely.
Eight
programs are
stored on the
Operation
Guide Disk, each
one clearly explaining
the features
of the
S900.
1.
WELCOME
This
is
simply an introduction.
The
S900's
vast
memory makes
high
quality sound and
sampling
for long
periods
of time
possi-
ble. This
program also
serves
as
a POWER
ON LOAD constant
pitch
demonstration.
2.
SAW-PGM
On
this program,
saw tooth
waves
have
been sampled and
looped. This
program is
used
mainly for
explanations of syn-
thesizer functions.
3.
SQU-PGM
On this
program,
square waves
(short
waves with PW=50%)
have
been sampled and
looped.
4. TRI-PGM
On this
program, triangular
waves have
been sampled and
looped.
5.
1-2-3
PGM
On this program
the
numbers
"One, Two
Three" have
been
sampled. This
program
is used mainly for
edit
sampling
scan-
ning
explanations.
6. ONE TO
TEN
On this program
"One" to "Ten"
have been
sampled
separately,
these ten
voices have
been divided into
ten key
groups
and the
key split
function has
been
used. This
gives
a
demonstration
of
the
S900's abundant
output and
key assign functions.
7.
VEL-SWITCH
On this
program,
two samples, "Soft"
and
"Loud" are divided
ac-
cording
to
the
key velocity
strength and
played "Loud" when
there
are
64
or
more MIDI
velocity data bits
and "Soft" when
there are
less than
64 data bits.
This
gives
a demonstration
of
the
velocity
switch function.
8.
VEL-CROSS
On this
program,
"Soft" and "Loud" voices have
been
sampled
in
pairs
and
velocity cross feeding has been made
possible.
The program
is
set so that:
When velocity
data
is large: "Loud"
is
played.
When
velocity
data is small: "Soft"
is
played.
When velocity
data is medium:
"Loud" + "Soft" is
played.
This
gives
a demonstration of the
velocity
cross feed
function.
