Saving A Soundõs Effects Settings; Modifying The Midi Transmit Channel - Kurzweil sp88x User Manual

Saving a Sound's Effects Settings
1. Go to Edit mode and select one of the 3 effects parametersÑEffect (left column,
4th row), Reverb Wet/Dry (right column, 1st row upper), or Chorus Wet/Dry
(right column, 1st row lower). If youÕre not sure how to select parameters, see
Modifying Effects on page 3-2 for an example.
ItÕs important to select one of these 3 parameters, because doing so tells the
Stage Piano that you want to save only the effects settings for the current
sound, and nothing else. If you select one of the other parameters, executing a
save will save the Internal Voices Setup, which includes MIDI control
information.
2. Press the Store button (the bottom-left button in the Edit Group).
3. The display will sequentially show s s s
soundÕs effect?Ó If it shows 1 1 1
Internal Voices Setup, which is not what you want to do. In this case, press
Cancel, and go back to Step 1. Be sure one of the 3 effects parameters (Internal
Effect, Reverb Wet/Dry, or Chorus Wet/Dry) is selected, then try again. This
ensures that all youÕre doing is associating a particular effect to a particular
sound. Saving the Internal Voices Setup saves additional information, like the
MIDI channel used by the sound.
4. Press the Up arrow (Yes) button (Sound Select Group) or Store button to
execute the save. If you change you mind, press the Down arrow (No) button
or Cancel instead.
5. The display will ßicker brießy while the current effect number and intensity
settings for the current sound are saved in EEPROM memory.
Now, whenever this sound is selected, the internal effects will change to the settings
you just saved.

Modifying The MIDI Transmit Channel

When in Internal Voices mode, anything you play is also sent to the MIDI Out port,
which can be connected to external sound modules, a synthesizer, or a computer. By
default, the MIDI signals are transmitted on Channel 1 but you may need to change
that to match the channel your external device is ÒlisteningÓ to. Do this to change the
MIDI transmit channel:
1. Go to Edit mode, and select the MIDI Channel parameter (left column, third
parameter; the LED should be on, not blinking). If youÕre not sure how to select
parameters, see Modifying Effects on page 3-2 for an example.
2. Use the Up or Down arrow buttonsÑor the digit buttons plus EnterÑto
change to a new channel between 1 and 16.
The next notes or control movements you make will be sent on the new MIDI channel.
The MIDI channel change is temporary. To make it permanent for Internal Voices
mode, press the Store button twice.
CAUTION: If you change the MIDI channel while holding keys or the sustain pedal down,
those notes may become Òstuck.Ó To silence them, press both buttons labeled Panic at the same
time and hold until the stuck notes are silenced. Many LEDs will light while the panic
sequence is sent.
