  • Page 1 0 0 0 *************** INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
  • Page 2 INTRODUCTION The CTS 2000 is a programmable digital synthesizer with a dynamic keyboard that is part of a family of professional synthesizers and pianos. This instrument takes its name from a new sound acquisition and reproduction technology called CTS (Cross Table Sampled).
  • Page 3 Tables of content...
  • Page 5 384 bytes of memory compared to the 200,000 bytes required for standard sampling. All this has made it possible to equip the CTS 2000 with a considerable number of in-line sampled sounds that can be used immediately by the musician.
  • Page 6 There are two ways of connecting to the sound system: STEREO In stereo mode, the CTS 2000 sends voice-related signals in two separate audio channels (Left and Right) in a programmable way for each preset by defining for each Zone (octave) of the keyboard the...
  • Page 7 MONO Selecting this mode sends the sound to a single audio output. Once you have chosen the type of connection to be made, proceed as follows: Set the volume of the instrument and amplification or audio mi xer to zero and proceed to one of the following connections : Stereo Connect, via two ¼...

  • Page 8: Control Panel

    They are used both for preset selection and for special programming functions, which we will see later. The CTS 2000 is also equipped with a 2-line by 16-character LCD display that will show the type and number of presets enabled, information needed to edit presets or help messages.
  • Page 9 Interiors Pressing the INTERNAL button in the PRESETS section will enable the instrument's internal presets. In this way the display will show, in the upper row, the type, number and bank of the selected preset while the lower row will repeat the norm that has been assigned by the manufacturer or user to that preset, for example: INT PRESET 1A XXXXXXXXX...
  • Page 10 CARTRIDGE NOT PRESENT If you press the button when the cartridge is inserted, the message appears: CRT PRESET 1A XXXXXXXX In this case you will have recalled cartridge preset no.1, Bank A, named XXXXXXX. Once you press the Cartridge button to recall any cartridge preset, as with internal presets, select the Memory Bank (using the BANK A/B button to select Bank) and then press the button corresponding to the desired voice number (1 to 24) or vice versa.
  • Page 11 Local & Remote PIANOFORTE * _ _ Remote Release Pedal The CTS 2000 comes with a footswitch to control the RELEASE function. This function allows the sound to be maintained and decayed slowly, even after the keys have been released, with a different programmable decay for each preset.

  • Page 12: Edit Mode

    EDIT MODE As we have already said, this mode allows you to MODIFY TEMPORARILY all the parameters indicated in the graphic matrix on the right of the control panel above the preset selectors. For the complete list and explanations of the functions of each parameter, see the PARAMETERS LIST section on page 22.
  • Page 13 Choice of parametric family The individual parameters are grouped into PARAMETRIC FAMILIES with a maximum of 6 parameters per family. Once the EDIT (Parameters) mode has been selected and the ZONE or GLOBAL function has been selected, the selection of the Parametric Family to be edited is made by simply pressing the corresponding Family button.
  • Page 14 ATTACK TIME 1 z OLD xx NEW yy (z) = Zone number (octave) of keyboard xx = memory value of the parameter for that Zone yy = new value assigned to the parameter for that Zone If you now move the potentiometer more widely, you will see the value "yy" change. Using the UP and DOWN buttons in the FINE CONTROL section you can also perform a "fine"...

  • Page 15: Attack Time

    Selection and modification of the parameter in GLOBAL mode. Once a Family has been selected, e.g. DCA 1, the 6 slider potentiometers located on the left of the control panel in the DATA ENTRY section and identified by the letters A, B, C, D, E and F will be automatically associated with the 6 corresponding parameters that make up the Family itself.
  • Page 16 For example, if the Attack Time 1 parameter had the following values: Zone 0 = 10 Zone 1 = 3 Zone 2 = 1 Zone 3 = 20 Zone 4 = 8 By editing in Edit GLOBAL mode and changing the value from 0 to +5, the Attack Time values for each individual Zone will become: Zone 0 = 15 Zone 1 = 8...

  • Page 17: Press Enter

    Initialising and creating a preset If you wish to create a new preset that is not derived from editing an existing one, you can use the INITIALIZE PRESET function. This is an initialization function, which sets up the synthesizer parameters in an elementary way to facilitate the creation of a new tone. The main parameters are, for example, set as follows : Both oscillators (1 and 2) are set up to generate an elementary waveform (sawtooth).

  • Page 18: Record Mode

    For a complete list and explanations of the functions of each parameter, see the PARAMETERS LIST section on page 22. To exit the Edit (Parameters) mode at any time, simply press the PRESETS/PARAMETERS button or the INTERNAL or CARTRIDGE button in the Presets section. The display will return to show the type, number, bank, and name of the preset, indicating that you have returned to Standard (Preset) mode.
  • Page 19 WRITE DISABLE At this point the instrument is enabled to record new programmes and will remain so until it is switched off or deliberately returned (with the same operations) to the WRITE DISABLE position. Then exit the Edit mode by pressing the PRESETS/PARAMETERS button or the INTERNAL or CARTRIDGE button in the Presets section.
  • Page 20 By pressing the ENTER button, you can definitively confirm the recording and the display will show the message for a few seconds: WRITE COMPLETED The instrument will then automatically exit the recording mode and return to the Standard mode by clicking the new registered preset.
  • Page 21 PRESS ENTER Release all the buttons and then press the ENTER button to confirm the recording. The display will briefly show : GLOBAL BACK UPCOMPLETED It will then exit the registration phase and return to Standard mode. ATTENTION If you want to exit recording without completing it, press the WRITE button or any of the 24 preset buttons before pressing the Enter button.

    GLOBAL BACK-UP COMPLETED It will then exit the registration phase and return to Standard mode. ATTENTION If you want to exit recording without completing it, press the WRITE button or any of the 24 preset buttons before pressing the Enter button. The following error message may be displayed during the Global Backup from Cartridge to Internal Memory operation: CARTRIDGE...

IMPORTANT The information that follows does not concern a particular instrument or device but illustrates the possibilities that the Midi system makes available to individual manufacturers. To find out which of these functions have been activated on your instrument, please refer to the instruction manual by reading the section on MIDI on your instrument.
  • Page 75 Midi presses Each Midi-compatible instrument is usually equipped with 3 sockets: THRU This socket outputs the Midi signals generated by the instrument and should therefore be used when you want the instrument to become the controller (Master) of the system. In this case, connect the Midi OUT socket to the Midi IN of the first instrument or device to be controlled.

    intended and this is done by selecting the Midi channel on the Slave itself, assigning it, for example, Midi channel 1 to the first Slave, Midi channel 2 to the second and so on. If several Slaves are assigned the same conversation channel (e.g. Midi channel 1) they will receive the same Midi signals and thus play what was recorded on track 1.

Obviously, the slave units will only perform the operations for which they have been enabled, so if you send dynamic signals, they will only be performed by devices equipped with dynamics and this type of message will be ignored by the others.
