MODIFYING AND SAVING THE PARAMETERS OF THE TRACKS OF A MIDI FILE

The SD1 can modify the Volume, Reverb, Chorus and Pan parameters for each single track (Part) of a Midi file. It can also always filter undesired

MIDI events, transpose the track, enable the Mute and define the MIDI channel receiving and transmitting for each track. To go beyond the

General MIDI standard Level 1, it is also possible to convert the track into one dedicated to the use of a Drum Set or the Vocalizer. These param-

eters can be edited only after having started the Midi file for some beats, just enough to load the single track parameters that are always at

the beginning of each Midi file.

The SD1 is provided with two different editing methods: the first is based on displaying one track or Part at a time, the second shows the set-

ting of the single parameter for all sixteen parts.

Once the Midi file has been started for a few beats, press F1 GM Part to access the editing pages.

It is not necessary to continue reproducing the Midi file once the parameters have been loaded in the memory, however by modifying the param-

eters while the Midi file is reproducing it will be much easier to play back the result.

MODIFYING A SINGLE PART

Once a Midi file has been loaded, enable SONG PLAY and from the main page press F1 GM Part to call up the page dedicated to the parame-

ters of a single track of the Midi file. The Part is shown in the middle of the display, the parameters of which (that can be modified) are assigned

to the function push buttons. Right underneath is the timbre assigned to the Part and the effect used. The bottom part of the display is ded-

icated to monitoring the activities of the sixteen Parts, while playing the Midi file and can be useful to find the Part to be modified.

To move around between the single Parts use the PAGE +/- push buttons.

The parameters that can be modified must be selected using the dedicated function push button before the value can be modified.

Timbre: Each track can use a timbre taken from the Voice, User Voice and RAM/Flash bank. To modify the timbre assigned follow the normal

procedure using the VOICES, RAM/FLASH, USER VOICE, PAGE +/- push buttons and the function push buttons.

Modulation effect: For each single track you can choose the modulation effect to be applied to the timbre between Chorus, Distorsor and Delay,

using the CURSOR +/- push buttons. The effect entity can be programmed using F3 Chorus/Distorsor/Delay.

F1 Volume: This modifies the volume of the whole track. The value can be changed using the VALUE +/- push buttons which,

if pressed together at the same time, reset the value.

F2 Reverb: This modifies the Reverb entity applied to the track. The value can be changed using the VALUE +/- push but-

tons which, if pressed together at the same time, reset the value.

F3 Chorus/Distorsor/Delay: This modifies the entity of the modulation effect chosen between Chorus, Distorsor and Delay assigned to the

track using the CURSOR +/- push buttons. The value can be changed using the VALUE +/- push buttons which,

if pressed together at the same time, reset the value. The display shows the type of effect chosen next to F3

and also below the timbre.

F4 Panpot: This modifies the arrangement of the timbre on the stereo panorama. The value can be changed using the

VALUE +/- push buttons which, if pressed together at the same time, take the timbre back to the middle of the

stereo panorama.
