User Voice; Timbre Programming Elements - KETRON SD1 User Manual

Voice press the 2ND VOICE push button (the LED lights up).
As default setting the SD1 already bears a Second Voice for each timbre, even if this combination can be modified at any time, with further
adjustments.
Once the Second Voice has been enabled for the timbre in use in the Right section the timbre to be associated to it can be changed.
Press the EDIT push button positioned near the 2ND VOICE push button (for sake of simplicity it will be called EDIT 2ND)
Select the group to which the new timbre for the Second Voice belongs using the VOICES push buttons. Only the name of the first Voice of that
group will appear.
Use the VALUE+/- push buttons to select the Voices that follow the first of the group selected.
To modify the octave of the Second Voice timbre, with the EDIT 2ND push button enabled, use the CURSOR +/- push buttons that will act as
TRANSPOSER push buttons.
To modify the volume of the Second Voice timbre, with the EDIT 2ND push button enabled, use the RIGHT push buttons for the volume.
All these procedures can be done for each timbre assigned to the Second Voice remembering to save the modifications made, which would oth-
erwise be lost when the SD1 is turned off, by proceeding as follows:
Press SAVE/ENTER
Select F6 2nd Voice
Confirm the procedure using F10 Save, thus the modifications are saved permanently in Flash RAM.
To restore the original settings of the Second Voice preset by Ketron, use function push button F9 Default instead of confirming the procedure.

USER VOICE

s we have already explained the SD1 is also a powerful synthesizer based on samples. We have chosen to limit the parameters to just those
essential for most common use. Any modification made to a timbre can be saved in one of the 128 memory locations of the User Voice bank,
split-up into sixteen groups of eight User Voices each. To call up a User Voice follow the normal procedures for the Voice. The only difference
is that the USER VOICE push button must be enabled (LED lit). As for programming, there are two solutions:
Press the USER VOICE push button to enable the User Voice bank.
Select one of the eight User Voices using the function push buttons from the sixteen banks that can be called up using the VOICES push buttons.
Press the function push button relative to the User Voice selected once again.
In alternative
Press the USER VOICE push button to enable the User Voice bank.
Select one of the eight User Voices using the function push buttons from the sixteen banks that can be called up using the VOICES push
buttons.
Press EXIT to return to the main page of the display that will keep the User Voice timbre selected in use.
Access the programming menu using F7 Edit Voice.
Together with the User Voices the SD1 enables the musician to also modify the bank of timbres in General MIDI. To call up a timbre to be modi-
fied in GM proceed as follows:
Enable the User Voice bank (LED lit).
Access Edit Voice using the procedures just described (the page will show the timbre parameters).
Select a GM timbre within the sixteen families, again with USER VOICE enabled, using the VOICES push buttons. Use the PAGE +/- push but-
tons to call up the ten timbres that follow when available and the function push buttons to select the timbre to be modified.
Once the edit page of the User Voice selected is reached, whatever procedure used to do so, the display will be configured as follows:

TIMBRE PROGRAMMING ELEMENTS

A timbre of the SD1 exploits a sampled wave form stored in a Wavetable as sound source. The wave form can also be created from a number of
different samples, arranged on the keyboard or according to the key dynamics, but in any event these samples cannot be modified by the musi-
