COMMON CHANNEL/ARRANGEMENT (F5)
Here you can program parameters that are com-
mon to all Performances.
COMMON CHANNEL: This channel, independ-
ent from the settings defined under the Channel
and Configurations pages, allows a remote con-
troller keyboard to emulate the internal keyboard
of the SK760/880SE.
The COMMON CHANNEL should be used when
you wish to play a GLOBAL PERFORMANCE or
a STYLE from an external controller. Program
change messages received on the Common
channel are interpreted as PERFORMANCE
CHANGE messages.
The parameter is divided into three parts: the first
part selects the MIDI channel to assign to the
Common Channel (IN and OUT), the second the
MIDI IN port used by the Common Channel, (A
or B) and the third the MIDI OUT port used by
the Common Channel, (A or B).
nel that the controller keyboard was sending on.
If, instead, you set the controller keyboard to the
COMMON CHANNEL, it would play the complete
Performance exactly as though you were play-
ing the internal keyboard of the SK760/880SE
itself.
The Common Channel is reserved to special
tracks dedicated to the control of effects and other
parameters.
ProgramChange and ControlChange data re-
ceived on the Common Channel select Style,
Song, Performance, Effects and other parameters
listed in the Appendix.
Options: Off, 1 ... 16.
CHORD CH.1 / CHORD CH..2: Here you can
assign the Chord channels in order that a MIDI
accordion can communicate with the SK760/
880SE Styles and auto accompaniments.
The parameter is divided into two parts. The first
part selects the MIDI channel (Off, 1 - 16). The
second part selects the MIDI IN port (A or B).
Chord to Arr.1: is dedicated to the auto chords.
Chord to Arr.2: is dedicated to the auto Bass.
A MIDI controlling accordion can send notes for
the automatic accompaniment from the chord
section, from the bass section, or from both sec-
tions.
The Common Channel unites to these two chan-
nels and their notes contribute to the formation
of the chord for the automatic accompaniment.
Options: Off, 1 ... 16.
MIDI IN port (A or B)
MIDI IN/OUT channel
(1...16)
MIDI OUT
port (A or B)
For example, if you selected a multi-track Per-
formance on the SK760/880SE and then tried to
play this Performance from an external control-
ler keyboard connected to either of the SK760/
880SE’s MIDI IN ports, you would normally only
be able to play one of the constituent parts of
that Performance depending on the midi chan-

Additional Disk functions
This section explains the various options found
in the main Disk pages and in the File Selector,
some of which are permanent, others specific to
a particular command or disk page.
NEW FL. DISK (F5)
Updates the current directory after changing a
disk inserted in the drive, allowing the instrument
to recognize the disk change. Pressing the F5
Soft button opens the following dialog window:
You can also see the new directory by escaping
Disk mode the re-entering.
FREE MEMORY (F6)
This option displays the amount of memory re-
maining in the floppy disk, Hard disk, System-
RAM, Backed Sample-RAM, volatile Sample-
RAM and any connected SCSI device (optional).
SAMPLE-RAM... (F8)
This option allows you to select the Sample-RAM
that is going to store your Samples. If your in-
strument has been upgraded with additional Sam-
ple-RAM (optional kit), you will be able to choose
according to your needs.
Selecting the option opens the window where you
can choose between both types.
Select the type of Sample-RAM with the cursor
buttons and press ENTER to confirm.
Once a RAM -Sound is loaded into memory, a
‘flag’ is applied to it to indicate which Sample-
RAM contains the sound’s associated sample.
When you save the RAM -Sound, the ‘flag’ is
retained in the disk.
When you load the Sounds again, the RAM -
Sounds are directed to the Sample-RAM indi-
cated by the ‘flag’.
Note -
If the Samples that you save with repeated
Save Single operations become too large for the avail-
able backed Sample RAM, the instrument will attempt
to save to the Volatile S-RAM (if present). If there is
not enough space for the operation, or the Volatile
S-RAM is not present, the save operation will be in-
terrupted.
BLOCK RENAME (F7)
This option, which appears in all File Selectors,
allows you to modify the name of the selected
Block. Use the standard method of name entry
as described in the Alphanumeric Entry paragraph
on page 1.10 of the Quick Guide.
BLOCK SIZE (F8)
This option, which appears in all File selectors,
determines the dimensions of the currently se-
lected Block. The information appears under the
directory of the active File Selector.
The dimensions of the same Block residing in
RAM and in disk can differ by a few kilobytes,
due to the fact that some Setup data in RAM is
not saved to disk.
