EXi: EP-1 MDS Electric Piano
On-screen knobs, sliders & switches and the Parameter Details area
Parameter Details
The LCD displays include graphic knobs for all of the main
EP-1 parameters. These let you view and edit parameters
quickly and easily.
You can program any sound from the original electric pianos
using only these knobs. If you want more flexibility and
control, however, the EP-1 two AMS mixers, access to the
EXi Program's Common LFO, Common Step Sequencer,
and
Vector
features, and AMS modulation for almost every
original knob, slider, and switch.
The entryway to these advanced features is the Parameter
Details area, located in the lower right-hand part of the
screen. This shows information for the selected knob or
switch, including its parameter group and parameter name,
its exact value, and its AMS assignments:
Using the graphic parameters
Editing knobs and sliders
To edit knobs and sliders:
1. Touch the knob or slider.
A yellow square will appear around the control, showing that
it has been selected. The Parameter Details area will change
to show the name and value of the current parameter, along
with other related information.
2. Touch and then drag the knob to change its value. You
can use either up-down or right-left gestures.
or:
Use any of the VALUE controllers to edit the value.
You can use the VALUE slider, the +/- buttons, the VALUE
dial, or the
numeric
keypad.
As you edit the value, notice that the graphic knob or slider
moves, and that the value in the Parameter Details area
changes as well.
Editing on/off switches
To edit an on/off switch, such as the VIBRATO ON/OFF
switch, simply:
1. Touch the switch to toggle the value.
Assigning AMS modulation
Most parameters support modulation via AMS. Sources and
intensities can be edited in the Parameter Details area:
1. Touch the knob.
If the parameter supports AMS modulation, the Parameter
Details area will show the AMS source and intensity
settings.
2. Edit the AMS settings in the Parameter Details area.
Note: The graphic knobs always show their stored value.
Absolute Tone Adjust settings edit these values, just as if
you were editing the parameters themselves, and so the
graphics will show the results. However, AMS modulation
does not edit the stored value, and so the graphics do not
include the results of AMS.
