Owner’s Manual DG100

Parameter management
Before going into the actual programming subject the musician must first be aware of how the menus and parameters of the DG100 work. The
rules that are listed in this chapter are valid for all the following sections and are crucial to controlling the keyboard in the best way possible.
CONVENTIONS
The following conventions are used within this manual, which refer to:
Push buttons on the control panel: all in capital letters or bold print (for example START, STOP, SPLIT push buttons)
Functions, parameters, items, commands displayed and that can be selected using the F1-F10 function keys adjacent to them: in bold print (for
example F5 Escape, F10 Save)
The functions and the parameters displayed are written in full and the indicators shown on the display are written between brackets, in differ-
ent letters.
CALLING UP THE MENUS
The parameters of the DG100 are grouped in menus that are always called up from the main page of the display which can be accessed using
the EXIT push button (apart from some exceptions which we will see later).
The first group of parameter menus is associated with the F1-F10 function push buttons at the side of the display and include the following
menus:
F1 GM
F2 EFFECT
F3 UTILITY
F4 ARRANGE MODE
F5 ARRANGE VIEW
F6 MIDI
F7 EDIT VOICE/DRAWBARS
F8 EDIT PROGRAM
F9 EDIT DRUM
F10 MICRO EDIT
The EXIT push button must always be pressed to exit one of these pages.
A second group of menus is associated directly with some push buttons on the control panel. They are called up from the main page and are
exited using the EXIT push button and also using the push button again that was used to call up these pages. The menus relative to the single
push buttons are the following:
SONG RECORD
PATTERN EDIT
SAMPLER MPS
DISK
SAVE/ENTER
BLOCK/LIST RAM STYLE
VOCALIZER EDIT
ON LINE EFFECT
HARMONY
The following menus are an exceptions to this rule:
SEQUENCER
SONG PLAY
The push buttons related to these menus must be pressed again to return to the main page of the display. This procedure has been devised
to prevent the playback of a Midi file from being accidentally stopped by pressing the EXIT push button by mistake.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE EXIT COMMAND
In some menus in addition to the EXIT push button the Escape command may appear, which is assigned to a function push button at the side
of the display. Therefore if the EXIT push button should fail to work, look carefully at the display to find the Escape function amongst the com-
mands, or try pressing the key used to access the specific menu again.
There are another few exceptions that aid programming: for example the editing of the Vocalizer can be accessed from any menu.
