F7 EDIT VOICE/DRAWBARS: This is used to modify the main parameters relating to the sound such as the envelope, the filter and the LFOs.
When a Drawbar sound is selected (pressing first USER VOICE and selecting then the BASS-FX 12 bank using the Voice push buttons
group), the EDIT VOICE/DRAWBARS push button allows you to access programming and to display the single Drawbars to create new organ
sounds.
F8 EDIT PROGRAM: This is used to program or modify the parameters relative to the four sounds that can be used at the same time for the
lead section within a selected Program.
F9 EDIT DRUM: For the drum tracks and other features. This group of functions is dedicated to the programming of a complete drum kit, of
which up to two samples can be indicated for each key of the keyboard.
F10DRUM MIXER: This allows you turn on/off, modify the volume, pan and reverb of each of the individual percussion groups within the cur-
rent drum kit.
THE PUSH BUTTONS RELATED TO THE SELECTION OF STYLES
Ten push buttons are used to call up just as many groups of styles directly from the control panel. When a group is selected the display shows
five styles to the left and another five to the right. To enable a style simply press the function push button next to its name on the display.
Considering that the XD9 offers more than ten styles per group, the user can move onto the next pages either using the PAGE + or PAGE – push
buttons, or by repeatedly pressing the push button related to the group of styles in use. When the XD9 reaches the last page of styles available,
the user can return to the first page by pressing the push button for that same group of styles again instead of the PAGE + or PAGE – push
buttons. In some editing situations the twelve STYLES push buttons become numeric keys that are used to enter the value directly.
THE PUSH BUTTONS RELATED TO THE SELECTION OF VOICES
The two rows of six push buttons called VOICES are used to call up sounds or Preset Voices (that cannot be edited by the user) according to
the family to which they belong. When a family is selected with one push button the display shows five Voices to the left and five Voices to the
right, which can be enabled by pressing the function push button next to the desired sound. Considering the fact that the XD9 offers more than
ten Voices per family, the user can move onto the next pages either using the PAGE + or PAGE – push buttons or by repeatedly pressing the
push button of that family of Voices in use. When the XD9 reaches the last page of Voices available, the user can return to the first page of
Voices by pressing the same push button for that family of Voices again rather than the PAGE + or PAGE - push buttons.
The VOICES push buttons are not only used to call up the pre-set voices alone.
●
If the LED of the USER VOICE push button (i.e. of the bank of sounds that can be programmed by the user) is activated, then the VOICES
push buttons call up the 128 User Voice sounds in groups of ten at a time.
●
If USER VOICE and BASS-FX are enabled, an organ sound corresponds to each single VOICES push button.
●
If the LED of the PROGRAM push button is lit, the VOICE push buttons call up the Program voices.
●
If the LED of the ONE TOUCH push button is lit, the first row of STYLE push buttons calls up one of the six pages of the One Touch memory
locations.
PUSH BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE CONTROL PANEL
PROGRAM When the LED is lit, eight Program locations are displayed, to be selected using the function push buttons. A Program com-
bines up to four voices dedicated to the lead section with the related parameters.
2ND VOICE When the LED is lit, the second Voice assigned to the equivalent Lead voice is enabled. It’s name is displayed under the name
of the Lead voice to the top right side of the display screen.
USER VOICE When the LED is lit, this allows you to call up the User Voices using the Voice push buttons.
1 TOUCH When the LED is lit, ten sounds within the first of the eight groups available are displayed. The One Touch Solo function is
used to save the most frequently used Voices so that they can be called up easier rather than having to first select the voice
group and then a sound from within it.
REG. The Registrations memorise all the XD9 settings for instant retrieval , including the automatic call up of Midi and TXT files.
When the LED is lit the user can call up one of the 198 Registrations using the numeric keypad, namely the STYLE push but-
tons.
PLAY CONTROL This is used to access a menu for settings relevant to the section to the right of the Split point, used for the lead to program
effects for the Voices and the microphone as well as the editing of the Second Voice.
DISK This is used to gain access to the management functions both on floppy disk and optional/built in hard disk. When the DISK
LED is lit the PAGE + and PAGE – push buttons can be used to select either the hard disk or the floppy disk.
