the display. To select the other page use the P P A A G G E E + + / / - - push buttons. The single groups of parameters, to which other menus correspond, are

enabled using the relative function push buttons.

UTILITY, PAGE 1/2

F1 Accordion:

This calls up a new page with the parameters dedicated to the

use of a MIDI accordion. For further details, please refer to the

chapter 'MIDI Accordion' below.

F2 Modulation:

This calls up a new menu dedicated to the management of the

Modulation Wheel. The parameters available are the following:

F1 LFO Pitch: When O O n n , the Modulation Wheel controls

the entry of the modulation of the LFO on the pitch to

create a cyclic vibrator. It can be set O O f f f f only if at least

one modulation between DCF, DCA, Cutoff and WhaWha

is enabled so that the Modulation Wheel always con-

trols a parameter.

F2 LFO DCF: When O O n n , the Modulation Wheel controls

the entry of the modulation on the LFO on the filter

cut-off.

F3 LFO DCA: When O O n n , the Modulation Wheel controls

the entry of the modulation on the LFO on the amplitu-

de to create a cyclic tremolo.

F4 Cutoff: When O O n n , the Modulation Wheel directly controls the filter cut-off. This proves useful to control the har-

monic richness of a timbre. It cannot be used if F F 6 6 W W h h a a - - W W h h a a is already enabled.

F5 Escape: This returns to the initial page of the U U t t i i l l i i t t y y menu.

F6 Wha-Wha: When O O n n , the Modulation Wheel controls the Wha-Wha effect, typical of electric guitars. It cannot be

used if F F 4 4 C C u u t t o o f f f f is already enabled.

F7 To Swell: When O O n n , it transfers all the parameters controlled by the Modulation Wheel to the optional Volume

pedal.

F8 Mod. Rate: The value entered using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons defines the velocity of the LFO's used with the

Modulation Wheel

F9 Mod. Amou: The value entered using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons establishes the modulation depth that can

be obtained using the Modulation Wheel for the LFOs.

F3 Pitch AFTERTOUCH:

This calls up a new menu dedicated to controlling the tuning. The parameters available are the following:

F1 Tune: The value indicated in Hertz, that can be modified +/- 100 Cents using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons, esta-

blishes the fine tuning of the whole sound generator of the SD5. By pressing the two 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 together at the same time the standard tuning of 440 Hz is reset.

F F 2 2 V V i i b b r r a a t t o o : : When O O f f f f , it disables the vibrato on the timbres that use it. The sampled vibrato of some timbres is not

affected by the setting of this parameter.

F F 3 3 P P o o r r t t a a m m e e n n t t : The value set using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons controls the Portamento velocity.

F F 4 4 L L e e g g a a t t o o : This allows you to choose between Portamento, Legato and Mono by pressing F4 repeatedly. The tied

notes function is extremely interesting to simulate the phrasing of some traditional soloist instruments, such as vio-

lins, trumpet, horn and trombone.

F F 5 5 E E s s c c a a p p e e : This returns to the initial page of the U U t t i i l l i i t t y y menu.

F F 6 6 B B e e n n d d V V a a l l u u : The value entered using the C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons establishes the excursion semitones of the Pitch

Bend Wheel.

F F 7 7 B B e e n n d d L L F F O O : This assigns the vibrato control created with the LFO to the Pitch Bend Wheel, the intensity of which is

established by the value that can be modified using the C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons.

F F 8 8 B B e e n n d d D D C C F F : This assigns the filter cut-off control to the Pitch Bend Wheel, the intensity of which is established by
