FURTHER ELEMENTS OF THE SD5
HARD DISK
The optional hard disk allows you to store Midi files, Patterns and any other files processed by the SD5.
DISK DRIVE
Supplied as standard, it is used to read and write 720 KB and 1.4 MB of data on floppy disks in DOS format. Floppy disks formatted on any PC can
also be used.
JOYSTIC
Used to change timbre pitch if moved horizontally and to change the modulation effects if moved vertically.
AFTERTOUCH
When the key reaches its full stroke, after pressing it normally, you can exploit a further brief section of the stroke, which is clearly felt by pres-
sing the key further, to control the addition of some effects such as vibrato and pitch bend. In this way, it is easier to control the various tim-
bres. The version of Aftertouch implemented on the SD5 is the single-sound version, in other words the effect produced affects all the keys
pressed at that time.
VELOCITY
The key dynamics is used to control some timbre parameters such as the volume of the note or the filter.
GENERAL VOLUME
The volume cursor seen on the front panel controls the general volume of the audio outputs Left & Right of the whole keyboard, including the
microphone signals. The cursor does not send a Volume data to the MIDI Out port.
MULTI-TABS
This set of 16 buttons is used to rapidly access various functions that prove useful in the various musical contexts of the instrument. For exam-
ple, you can control the mute function of the various percussion sections, directly access the 16 parts of the General Midi or activate and laun-
ch sound effects.
