D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R . Once the track has been identified its octave can be modified using 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 a a n n d d R R i i g g h h t t ) ) push buttons (including

that for the Drum track

so that the sounds beyond the visual range can also be used) and change the sounds assigned if you wish.

If the Pattern has been newly created, before you record any P P a a r r t t you can modify the number of measures within the pattern, using the D D A A T T A A

C C U U R R S S O O R R push button to highlight Bar and then select the measure number using 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 a a n n d d R R i i g g h h t t ) ) If however you are modifying a

Pattern or a Part that already exists, it will be impossible to change the measure value.

Note: The Fill In's always have a fixed duration of one beat.

To change the reproduction and registration Tempo simply use the T T E E M M P P O O + + e T T E E M M P P O O - - push buttons.

Below is the explanation of the single parameters that can be called up using the function push buttons.

ASSIGNING VOICES TO THE ARRANGER TRACKS

For the lead tracks (Bass, Chord 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) the voices of the USER VOICE bank can be used. The Drawbar voices however cannot be used.

Select a lead track using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R ( ( U U p p a a n n d d D D o o w w n n ) ) push buttons.

Select the voice to be assigned using the V V O O I I C C E E S S push buttons. Use the PAGE +/- push buttons to call up the groups of voices and the function

push buttons to select the sound.

For the User Voices, enable the U U S S E E R R V V O O I I C C E E , use the P P A A G G E E + + / / - - push buttons and select the voice using the relative function push button.

The Drum 1 and 2 tracks are dedicated to the exclusive use of the Drum Sets. Drum 2 is exclusively for the Live Drums derived from grooves.

For the Drum 1 track you can select the pre-set Drum Sets and the User Drum Sets.

Select the Drum 1 track using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R ( ( U U p p a a n n d d D D o o w w n n ) ) push buttons and, using the VOICES, PAGE +/-push buttons and function push

buttons, assign the new Drum Set to the

track. F9 Drum allows you to toggle between Drum 1 and Drum 2.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PARAMETERS

F1 Part:

Once F F 1 1 has been pressed using 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 a a n n d d R R i i g g h h t t ) ) push buttons the P P a a r r t t to be recorded or reproduced

Is called up. The order of appearance is: Arrange A, B, C, D, Fill In 1, 2, 3, 4, Intro 1, 2, 3, Ending 1, 2, 3. Before you start

recording, it is a good rule of thumb to always make sure that the P P a a r r t t on which you are working is really that desired

to avoid confusion.

F2 Solo:

When this function is enabled, only the track selected at the time will be reproduced in Play mode. All others with recor-

ded material will be mutted.

F3 Tonality:

This is used to establish which tonality the Part being recorded will be associated with, between Major, Minor, Seventh

and combinations of the three. In this way you can create completely different arrangements because of the various

combinations of tonality (i.e. you can create arrangements that will respond only to Major chords, create some that will

respond only to Minor chords and the arrangement differs from the previous etc.). To simplify the recording phase it is

also possible to record a section only in Major leaving it up to the SD5 to extract the various versions of minor and

seventh. To do this select " " M M . . m m . . 7 7 t t h h " " for Tonality and record the section with an arrangement in Do/C major.

F4 Metronome:

When enabled, the SD5 will use a Stick sound to count the tempo.

F5 Save:

This is used to save the modifications permanently in the memory.

F6 Value Quantize:

In registration mode it may be handy to take the notes to a temporal grid, the value of which can be modified using 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 a a n n d d R R i i g g h h t t ) ) push buttons. The lack of Quantize is pointed out by "R R e e a a l l ", whereas maximum Quantize

has a value of 2. The letter "T T " indicates values arranged in triples.

F7 Quantize:

While F F 6 6 V V a a l l u u e e Q Q u u a a n n t t i i z z e e works during recording, this function can be used to quantize the notes even after the recor-

ding is through. Having chosen the track, establish the Quantize value using F F 6 6 V V a a l l u u e e Q Q u u a a n n t t i i z z e e and then press F F 7 7

Q Q u u a a n n t t i i z z e e to quantize the notes recorded.

F8 Rec/Play:

This is used to switch between recording (R R e e c c ) of the P P a a r r t t and reproduction (P P l l a a y y ). To play back any Part, even without

modifying it, can be selected using F F 1 1 P P a a r r t t and then be played back using F F 7 7 P P l l a a y y . By enabling the Arranger using S S T T A A R R T T and

by playing a chord (split point permitting), you can playback the P P a a r r t t involved as many times as desired (just as in standard

arranger mode).

F9 Velocity:

This is used to modify the velocity values of one or all the notes of the track when selected. By enabling the function a new

page with the following parameters is accessed:

SD5

F F 1 1 G G l l o o b b a a l l : : Select this to modify all the notes within the track.

F F 2 2 N N o o t t e e : : This is used to select the note whose velocity is to be modified by simply playing it on the keyboard.

F F 3 3 V V a a l l u u e e : : This establishes the increase or decrease value to be given to the velocity of the note selected using
