See the relative chapter, in this manual.

  • Page 8: Getting Started

    NOTE: always turn on the speaker of your system after all the others devices. The rp-x expander is a professional suond generator with a top quality pcm physical/modelling sound library. Always use an adequate stereo external speaker system in order to get the maximum performance from this instrument.

  • Page 9: Connect A Midi Master Controller

    It is not possible to change these parameters set from the rp-x internal edit menu. However using the advanced PC editor supplied with the module, it’s possible to edit some of these parameters in a very detailed way. USING THE INPUT CONNECTION The rp-x is equipped with RCA stereo input connections. These jacks allow you to connect another instru- ment (or external LINE audio source) and mix the signal into the audio OUTPUT of the module. Please note that the external mixed signal will be not processed in any way from the rp-x, this is a dry input only. AUDIO OUT SPEAKER SYSTEM MIDI OUT MIDI IN This connection allows you to use two mixer inputs to connect a digital piano and the rp-x at the same time.

  • Page 10: Connect The Rp-X To A Pc

    You can use the rp-x connected to a PC or to play its sound via MIDI from a software sequencer or to create or edit the internal performances (see the next chapter), using the PC editor included in the instrument package.

  • Page 11: Start The Rp-X

    The data stored in the PERF mode is memorized when the instrument is powered off. The rp-x comes with a complete set of pre-programmed performances. These performance are designed to highlight the sound and power of this instrument. Severeal of the factory programmed performances utilize Split or Layer mode. In order to hear all PARTS used in any of the factory programmed Split or Layered performances, your MIDI master controller must be assegned to transmit on MIDI channel 1.

    MEMORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM This menu contains some important function for the global instrument setting: •COMMON CHANNEL SETTING •MIDI IDENTIFICATION NUMBER •SYSTEM RESET •MIDI DATA BULK These setting are automatically stored in the expander memory and also saved switching ON/OFF the instrument. COMMON CHANNEL SETTING The MIDI COMMON channel is a very useful function allowing a high grade of versatility in MIDI programming. In the default assign the COMMON channel allows you to control the performances playing and selection using the MIDI ch.#01 only. Many of the internal rp-x performance are programmed using different parts (and differ- ent MIDI channel) in layer or split mode. The MIDI COMMON allows to fully play and select these performances using a master MIDI controller transmitting in a single MIDI channel. To enter the MIDI COMMON channel setting mode keep al least for 2 seconds the PERF and the EDIT buttons pressed at the same time.

  • Page 24: Technology

    TECHNOLOGY The rp-x is powered by Generalmusic’s break-through technology DRAKE. DRAKE (Dsp-Risc-Advanced-Keyboard-Engine) is the ultimate DSP: probably the most advanced piece of musical hardware in the world. Its 32-bit and 50-MIPS internal structure and its totally programmable software architecture make this processor so fast and powerful that any kind of algorithm, from Wavetable to Physical Modeling, can be implemented in real time, either in generation or in post-processing. Using the Physical Modelling power offered by DRAKE, Generalmusic has created and patented a number of new algorithms which replicate some of the world’s most famous vintage instruments like Rhodes™, Wurlitzer™ and Clavinet™. DRAKE has found unanimous, enthusiastic appraisal from experts in these fields. Physical Modeling Physical Modeling is a method of sound synthesis based upon a mathematical model which describes the physical construction of the instrument be- ing simulated. Unlike sampling technology, in which an existing sound is simply recorded at a particular moment in time, (to remain essentially the same forever), the sounds produced by a Physical Model continuously react and respond to the player’s input, maintaining all the little nuances and imperfections which provide the most reliable subconscious assurance that the instrument being played is the real thing. A sampled sound can be likened to a “snapshot” of a particular moment in time during which an instrument is being played. It’s like taking a photograph. The goal of Physical Modeling is this: Instead of simply recording the final audible product of a instrument like an electric piano, we replicate all the elements which are incorporated into its construction. If the physical model is constructed carefully and accurately with meticulous attention to detail, the resulting sound should be exactly like the real thing and, more importantly, the experience of playing and interacting with the instrument should be similarly convincing. In the rp-x, all the acoustic piano sounds are created by combining sample playback with Generalmusic’s Natural String Resonance, Damper Physical Model, Advanced Release and FADE technologies, (described below). Other instruments such as RHODES, WURLI and CLAVINET are created using pure Physical Modeling. Natural String Resonance This physical modeling technology, patented by Generalmusic as Natural String Resonance, allows all of the complex harmonics normally produced by a piano’s soundboard to be faithfully reproduced. This means that a note’s individual sound will always be slightly different depending upon which...

    - x rp-x è un generatore sonoro professionale con una libreria suoni (pcm e modelli fi sici) di altissima qualità. Usate sempre un sistema di amplifi cazione stereo di qualità adeguata, per valorizzare al massimo il po- tenziale sonoro di questo strumento.

  • Page 33: Collegare Un Midi Master Controller

    Questo collegamento di esempio realizzato usando gli ingressi INPUT, permette di collegare un piano digitale ed il modulo a due soli ingressi di un mixer (o ad un unico ingresso stereo). Allo stesso modo potremmo collegare due moduli tra loro, come per esempio un rp-x ed gm-x, per avere un unico segnale di uscita stereo.

  • Page 34: Collegamento Ad Un Pc

    COLLEGAMENTO AD UN PC Rp-x può essere collegato ad un computer in due modi diversi: via MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) oppure con la porta USB (Universal Serial Bus). Per usare il collegamento MIDI il vostro PC deve essere dotato di questo tipo di interfaccia (ved. nota sottostante). Nel caso della USB invece, è possibile collegare direttamente il modulo al vostro PC. In entrambi i casi comunque il tipo di protocollo e la velocità di trasmissione è conforme allo standard MIDI, la sola differenza è nel tipo di connessione usata per il collegamento stesso. Nel vostro PC deve essere correttamente installato un programma Sequencer per l'esecuzione o l'editing dei fi les MIDI. MIDI IN rp-x PC editor MIDI OUT r p - x Software NOTA: Normalmente i PC di tipo "Desktop" dispongono delle connessioni MIDI sulla presa "joystick" della scheda audio. Il tipo di connessione dipende dalla scheda audio installata sul PC.

    (Ved. Lista a Pag. 17) Alcune PERFORMANCE dell'rp-x sono programmate in SPLIT (un suono a destra un suono a sinistra della tastiera) o in LAYER (due o più suoni sovrapposti). E' possibile controllare le PARTS usate nelle performance anche con una tastiera MIDI che trasmette su un solo canale.

IMPOSTAZIONE DEL CANALE MIDI COMMON (COMMON CHANNEL) Il canale MIDI COMMON aumenta la versatilità nel controllo MIDI dello strumento. Normalmente infatti, per poter suonare con una performance multi canale (SPLIT, LAYER) da una tastiera MIDI, occorrerebbe usare una master keyboard in grado di trasmettere contemporaneamente su tutti i canali, corrispondenti ad altrettante PARTS dell'rp-x, usate nella PERFORMANCE. Questo tipo di funzioni sono disponibili solitamente in master key- board di livello professionale e quindi di costo elevato. MIDI controller o strumenti MIDI più economici, come i pianoforti digitali ad esempio, trasmettono solitamente su un solo canale MIDI alla volta. Per questo, il canale COMMON permette di usare PERFORMANCE formate da PARTS diverse usando MIDI controller con un solo canale di trasmissione.
