F6 Midi Record; F9 Wave Sync - KETRON SD1 User Manual

F6 MIDI RECORD

From the main Edit Pattern display screen, you can have access to Midi Record F6.
Thanks to this function, you can record the Pattern directly from a complete sequence transmitted by Computer or Sequencer .
To record a Pattern from Computer :
Connect the Midi In 2 of the instrument to the Midi Out of the Computer and the Midi Out of the instrument to the Midi In of the computer.
Activate the Midi Clock In of the Computer (deactivate the Thru if inserted)
Activate Midi Clock Out on the instrument
Prepare the sequence to transmit on the Computer
The channel of each track of the sequence must correspond to that of the various sections of the style as they have already been selected
in the Midi RX of the instrument
Press the Edit Pattern button
Select the MIDI RECORD function using F6
Make sure that the Time Signature of the Pattern on the PARAMETER section corresponds to that of the sequence to be transmitted.
Choose the part to record (Arrange A, B,C,D, Intro, Fill etc.)
Set the Value Quantize function to the desired value. (In the event of very complex sequences, we recommend you set the REAL value).
Choose the number of Beats to record using the BAR function
Press F8 to select REC .
Press the Start button. The recording will automatically stop at the end of the set beats. All the tracks will be recorder in one go.
To listen to it again, press Start and play the Pattern normally. In this phase, you can give different Quantizations for the acquired sequen-
ce before saving it.
To save the Pattern, press F5 Save.
The biggest difference compared to the traditional recording method lies in the possibility to record all the tracks via MIDI in one go. In fact,
each track corresponds to a specific MIDI channel and by creating, for example, four beats of Arrange A on the external sequencer using all the
tracks containing the Parts, the whole contents of the Section can be sent from the sequencer to be reproduced. In any event it is always pos-
sible to send a single track from the external sequencer using the internal functions of the sequencer such as Mute and Solo.
It is advisable not to use Program Changes in the sequence that will be controlled by the external sequencer. They can be modified at a later
date by selecting the most appropriate timbres for each track, from the F1 Record or F8 MIDI Record page as already explained above. This
method of working avoids confusion.

F9 WAVE SYNC

The possibility of synchronising a loop with a Style is an absolutely new aspect in the field of electronic keyboards and means that the whole
Style can be turned around according to the musician's desires. The SD1 implements a Pitch Shift algorithm that works on the loop linked with
the tempo value. In other words modifying the tempo of the Style, by adjacent values, the length of the sampled loop, which remains synchro-
nized with the rhythm, is also modified, but not the timbre. The applications of this new mixed Style are the most musical that there could pos-
sibly be: on one hand the fidelity of the timbres of the SD1, on the other the groove of a sampled drummer. The appendix provides some prac-
tical examples of this innovation. As for Pattern editing, the Wave Sync page is used to establish which Section is to be synchronized with the
sampled loop, by enabling Wave Sync for the single Sections using the relative function push buttons.
The obligatory requirements necessary to exploit a sampled loop are not many, but each is required to complete the connection.
