Akai S950 Operator's Manual page 52

Using this page, it is possible to set up whole multi-timbral configurations
and these can be saved to disk for instant retrieval. You can also have the
individual Instruments within this program available as separate programs for
normal playing on the same disk giving you extra flexibility.
Note: If OMNI is switched to ON In the main MIDI mode. the MIDI ch field on
this page will show 'ALL' For multl-tlmbral sequencing as described above,
OMI must be switched to OFF In the MIDI mode.
Of course, for normal playing of programs. It could be that you don't need to
change a programs MIDI channel so Page 16 can be often ignored and the
programs overall MIDI channel can be set in the main MIDI mode.
(For further information on setting the 5950's main MIDI channel and for
setting OMNI refer to the section on the MIDI mode.)
The last page in
keygroups to separate outputs. The display shows:
where * is the currently selected keygroup.
To assign a keygroup to an output, move the cursor one position to the right
using the 'cursor >' button so that it is on the KG field and select the
required keygroup. Press 'cursor >' again so that it is on the output assign
field and make your data entry using the CONTROL knob or the keypad. This
will assign that keygroup to the chosen output.
As in nearly all the various modes in the S950, there are many default
settings which have been sensibly chosen to optimise the units performance.
Because of this, it is often possible to create a program from scratch
ignoring many of the pages thereby making program editing and creation far
quicker and easier. With more familiarity with the unit, you will soon
discover the versatility of the S950 and how important EDIT PROGRAM is in the
creation of good sounds.
That concludes our look at EDIT PROGRAM. As you can see, there are a lot of
advanced features contained within it that allow you to get the best out of
your samples. We will look at other uses for EDIT PROGRAM in the ADVANCED
APPLICATIONS GUIDE which will show you how to~layer sounds, create split
keyboard programs, use the LFO and WARP functions and how to use the
individual outputs to the full.
