HOW
TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THE S900
This section
is
very
important.
Read
it
carefully,
as
it
lays
the
foundation
for
the rest
of
the
manual,
FUNCTIONS, PAGES,
and
BUTTONS
The
S900
has
eight functions
selected by
eight front panel
master
buttons:
PLAY, REC, EDIT
SAMPLE,
EDIT
PROGRAM,
MIDI,
UTILITY, DISK,
and
MASTER
TUNE.
Each
function (except
MASTER
TUNE)
includes several pages.
Each page
covers a
specific
aspect
of
the
function's operation.
For example,
typical
DISK
function
pages
are
load
sound
from
disk,
save
sound
to disk,
erase
disk, etc.
Each page
also displays several
of
the
S900's
parameters.
These
are
changed
with the
page programming
buttons
(con-
tained within the gray rectangle
below
the
right
side
of
the
LCD)
and
the upper-right
hand
CONTROL.
GETTING
AROUND
THE
S900:
A PRACTICAL
EXAMPLE
Let's learn
how
the Function/Page/Button
system
works.
We
will
do
all
our
practicing with a blank, formatted disk
so
that
if
you
make
any
errors
nothing
of
importance
will
be
lost.
1
Turn on
power
if it
is
not already.
2.
Insert
a
blank,
double-sided
3.5" disk
as
shown
previously
in
Fig.
1
.
Push
gently
until
the disk locks
in
place.
3.
Press
the
DISK
function
button.
The
LCD
will
show
Page
01
the
Load
Disk page.
There
are several other
pages
associated
with the
DISK
function,
and
three
ways
to
access
them:
• Enter the
page number
directly
with the
numeric (0—9)
PARAMETER
KEYS.
This
must be
a
two-digit
number;
if
you
are
calling
up
a
single-digit
page number,
press
the
button
first (e.g.
to
call
up
Page
7,
press
the
key then
the 7
key).
•
You may
advance
to
the next
page by
pressing
PAGE
(down
arrow), or return
to
the previous
page
by
pressing
PAGE
(up
arrow).
•
If
the
arrow
points
at
the
page
number
(see next section
for
more
about
the arrow),
CONTROL
will
select
the
different
pages
within
a
function.
