Patches; Memory (Cs-60) - Yamaha CS-50 Instruction Manual

USING THE
PROGRAMMABLE
PANEL TO
DUPLICATE THE PRESET PATCHES
As
stated elsewhere
in this
manual, the preset
patches
were
all
derived
from
settings
of the program-
mable
panel.
Normally,
there
would
be
no
need to
duplicate the presets
by programming
the panel.
How-
ever setting
up
the panel to
emulate
the presets
can
serve
as a
good point
of
departure
for
developing
your
own
patches.
The
following diagrams
of
programmable
panel
settings
correspond to the synthesizer's 13 preset
patches
(the CS-60
has
a
MEMORY
button instead of
the
FUNKY
3
preset,
but you can
still
program
FUNKY
3 on
it).
Some
settings are very
critical,
and
a
slight
change
of
adjustment can
make
the difference
between a poor match
or a perfect
match with
the
equivalent
preset's
sound.
The
fine
tuning of controls
necessary to
match
the
preset
is
very relevant to
making your own
entirely
unique patches because
you
experience
how
to subtly manipulate the controls for
specific effects.
A
few patches are
more
difficult to fine-tune
than
the
others,
due to a combination
of a critical pulse
width
adjustment.
HPF
and
LPF
settings that yield
a
band-
pass filter,
and
VCF
envelope.
The
"tricky" patches
are:
Clavichord, Guitar
1
&
2.
and
Funky
1
&
3; it is
probably
a
good
idea to return to these after
you
have
worked
through the other patches.
1.
Tune
the patches
using the middle of the key-
board
(Transposition
set at
NORMAL
[4]
).
This
allows
you to hear the
fullest
spectrum
of
overtones
for
more
accurate adjustments.
2.
If
the
setting involves
adjustment of Pulse Width
[17],
first
adjust that control for the closest sound
match.
3.
Adjust the
filter
settings
[21-25]:
LPF, HPF,
RESL
and
RESH.
Press the
keys lightly
so that any
Touch
Response
effects
do not
commence. (NOTE:
If
VCF
envelope [25-29]
is
in
use.
also see Step 4
below.]
4.
If
VCF
envelope (IL and/or
AL1
is
in use,
hold
down
a
key until the filter settles to
a
steady, un-
changing
cutoff.
Then
adjust
the
filter
LPF
(23]
and
HPF
[21] controls.
5.
If
VCF AL
[26]
is
used, adjust it
to produce the
brightest sound
obtained
in
that
patch;
then
read-
just
the
LPF
[23]
and
HPF
[21
1
sliders as
required.
6.
If
the
program and panel patches are the same,
then they should
react identically to exaggerated
settings of the
overall Brilliance [5]
and Resonance
[6| controls.
One
at a
time, set these
two
controls
all
the
way
up,
and
all
the
way down,
comparing the
preset
and
programmed
patches.
If
differences in
sound
are
observed
at
extreme
settings, adjust
the
corresponding controls
on
the Panel to re-match the
preset and
programmed
sounds:
RESH
and/or
RESL
at
extreme Resonance
settings;
HPF
and/or
LPF
at
extreme Brilliance settings.
