As for the recording principles, for each Part you must establish which tonality is to be recorded between Major, Minor, Seventh, Seventh Major,
Seventh Minor and two combinations that are required to keep the rhythm and lead structure unaltered while modifying only the tonality.
Once the tonality has been selected, establish which Part is to be recorded using F1 and the relative track, by selecting it with push buttons
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
. Once the track has been identified its octave can be modified using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR ((LLeefftt aanndd RRiigghhtt))
push buttons (including
that for the Drum track
so that the sounds beyond the visual range can also be used) and change the sounds assigned if you wish.
If the Pattern has been newly created, before you record any
PPaarrtt
you can modify the number of measures within the pattern, using the
DDAATTAA
CCUURRSSOORR
push button to highlight Bar and then select the measure number using
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR ((LLeefftt aanndd RRiigghhtt))
If however you are modifying a
Pattern or a Part that already exists, it will be impossible to change the measure value.
Note: The Fill In's always have a fixed duration of one beat.
To change the reproduction and registration Tempo simply use the
TTEEMMPPOO ++
e
TTEEMMPPOO --
push buttons.
Below is the explanation of the single parameters that can be called up using the function push buttons.
ASSIGNING VOICES TO THE ARRANGER TRACKS
For the lead tracks (Bass, Chord 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) the voices of the USER VOICE bank can be used. The Drawbar voices however cannot be used.
Select a lead track using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR ((UUpp aanndd DDoowwnn))
push buttons.
Select the voice to be assigned using the
VVOOIICCEESS
push buttons. Use the PAGE +/- push buttons to call up the groups of voices and the function
push buttons to select the sound.
For the User Voices, enable the
UUSSEERR VVOOIICCEE
, use the
PPAAGGEE ++//--
push buttons and select the voice using the relative function push button.
The Drum 1 and 2 tracks are dedicated to the exclusive use of the Drum Sets. Drum 2 is exclusively for the Live Drums derived from grooves.
For the Drum 1 track you can select the pre-set Drum Sets and the User Drum Sets.
Select the Drum 1 track using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR ((UUpp aanndd DDoowwnn))
push buttons and, using the VOICES, PAGE +/-push buttons and function push
buttons, assign the new Drum Set to the
track. F9 Drum allows you to toggle between Drum 1 and Drum 2.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PARAMETERS
F1 Part: Once
FF11
has been pressed using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR ((LLeefftt aanndd RRiigghhtt))
push buttons the
PPaarrtt
to be recorded or reproduced
Is called up. The order of appearance is: Arrange A, B, C, D, Fill In 1, 2, 3, 4, Intro 1, 2, 3, Ending 1, 2, 3. Before you start
recording, it is a good rule of thumb to always make sure that the
PPaarrtt
on which you are working is really that desired
to avoid confusion.
F2 Solo: When this function is enabled, only the track selected at the time will be reproduced in Play mode. All others with recor-
ded material will be mutted.
F3 Tonality: This is used to establish which tonality the Part being recorded will be associated with, between Major, Minor, Seventh
and combinations of the three. In this way you can create completely different arrangements because of the various
combinations of tonality (i.e. you can create arrangements that will respond only to Major chords, create some that will
respond only to Minor chords and the arrangement differs from the previous etc.). To simplify the recording phase it is
also possible to record a section only in Major leaving it up to the SD5 to extract the various versions of minor and
seventh. To do this select
““MM..mm..77tthh””
for Tonality and record the section with an arrangement in Do/C major.
F4 Metronome: When enabled, the SD5 will use a Stick sound to count the tempo.
F5 Save: This is used to save the modifications permanently in the memory.
F6 Value Quantize: In registration mode it may be handy to take the notes to a temporal grid, the value of which can be modified using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR ((LLeefftt aanndd RRiigghhtt))
push buttons. The lack of Quantize is pointed out by “
RReeaall
”, whereas maximum Quantize
has a value of 2. The letter “
TT
” indicates values arranged in triples.
F7 Quantize: While
FF66 VVaalluuee QQuuaannttiizzee
works during recording, this function can be used to quantize the notes even after the recor-
ding is through. Having chosen the track, establish the Quantize value using
FF66 VVaalluuee QQuuaannttiizzee
and then press
FF77
QQuuaannttiizzee
to quantize the notes recorded.
F8 Rec/Play:
This is used to switch between recording (
RReecc
) of the
PPaarrtt
and reproduction (
PPllaayy
). To play back any Part, even without
modifying it, can be selected using
FF11 PPaarrtt
and then be played back using
FF77 PPllaayy
. By enabling the Arranger using
SSTTAARRTT
and
by playing a chord (split point permitting), you can playback the
PPaarrtt
involved as many times as desired (just as in standard
arranger mode).
F9 Velocity:
This is used to modify the velocity values of one or all the notes of the track when selected. By enabling the function a new
page with the following parameters is accessed:
FF11 GGlloobbaall::
Select this to modify all the notes within the track.
FF22 NNoottee::
This is used to select the note whose velocity is to be modified by simply playing it on the keyboard.
FF33 VVaalluuee::
This establishes the increase or decrease value to be given to the velocity of the note selected using
SD5
42
