Push buttons on the control panel: all in capital letters or bold print (for example S S T T A A R R T T , S S T T O O P P , S S P P L L I I T T push buttons)

Functions, parameters, items, commands displayed and that can be selected using the F F 1 1 - - F F 1 1 0 0 function keys adjacent to them: in bold print (for

example F F 5 5 E E s s c c a a p p e e , F F 1 1 0 0 S S a a v v e e )

CALLING UP THE MENUS

The parameters of the sd5 are grouped in menus that are always called up from the main page of the display which can be accessed using the

E E X X I I T T push button (apart from some exceptions which we will see later).

The first group of parameter menus is associated with the F F 1 1 - - F F 1 1 0 0 function push buttons at the side of the display and include the following

menus:

GM -

EFFECT -

UTILITY -

EDIT DRUM -

F10

DRUM MIXER

A second group of menus is associated directly with some push buttons on the control panel. They are called up from the main page and are

exited using the E E X X I I T T push button and also using the push button again that was used to call up these pages. The menus relative to the single

push buttons are the following:

SONG RECORD - PATTERN EDIT, DISK - SAVE - MICRO VOCALIZER - LEAD EFFECT - LEFT MENU - RIGHT MENU - SONG PLAY

HARMONY

The E E X X I I T T push button must always be pressed to exit one of these pages.

The Song Play menu is an exception to this rule.

The push buttons related to this menu must be pressed again to return to the main page of the display. This procedure has been devised to pre-

vent the playback of a Midi file from being accidentally stopped by pressing the E E X X I I T T push button by mistake.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE EXIT COMMAND

In some menus in addition to the E E X X I I T T push button the E E s s c c a a p p e e command may appear, which is assigned to a function push button at the side

of the display. Therefore if the E E X X I I T T push button should fail to work, look carefully at the display to find the E E s s c c a a p p e e function amongst the com-

mands, or try pressing the key used to access the specific menu again.

THE F1-F10 FUNCTION PUSH BUTTONS

There are five push buttons to the left and five to the right of the display. They are called that as they have no specific function (apart from

calling up the menus as already explained), but they take on the function of the command displayed next to them. If you take a close look you

will see that a blue line connects each function push button that relates to a specific area on the display. This area, when there are choices or

commands available, displays a rectangle that bears the name of either the function, of the Voice or of the style to be called up.

DATA ENTRY

There are various possibilities based on the parameter to be modified within a menu.

D D i i r r e e c c t t c c a a l l l l u u p p : : for the Voices and the Styles, the selecting of one of these using a function push button immediately calls them up.

E E n n a a b b l l i i n n g g a a n n d d d d i i s s a a b b l l i i n n g g : : Some parameters may have an ON status and Off status, Active or Inactive and the function push button related to that

parameter is used to alternate between the two.

S S e e l l e e c c t t i i o o n n o o f f a a l l i i n n e e o o f f p p a a r r a a m m e e t t e e r r s s : : Likewise for Program editing, the function push button is used to select a group of parameters, the value of

which is entered using the V V A A L L U U E E + + / / - - push buttons.

P P a a r r a a m m e e t t e e r r s s i i n n t t h h e e m m i i d d d d l l e e o o f f t t h h e e d d i i s s p p l l a a y y : : Likewise for Voice editing, some parameters may be found in the middle of the display and are acces-

sed using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons.

Entering words or letters: When saving some files the sd5 requests the entry of words, which can be done using the keys on the keyboard to

which letters and numbers are assigned. The D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R L L e e f f t t / / R R i i g g h h t t push buttons are used to move within the letters of the name and the

D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R D D o o w w n n / / U U p p push buttons are used to enter the required letter.
