STUDIO 90 Plus
SECTION I: GETTING STARTED
In this section we will explore the possibilities of the Studio-90 Plus in its entirety.
Do not skip any pages. Since each function depends on a previous parameter, it is
probably best to read carefully from here on out.
LET'S GET STARTED
In this section you should get ready for hands on experience. Plug in one end of a
midi cable to the output jack of the controller. Plug the other end into the midi
input of your sound module. For the first application, even if you have a multi-
timbral module, please set a piano or any other sound that you are comfortable
with to channel number one. (Multi-timbral means receive on more than one
channel at once.) The first application will only deal with channel number one. As
you progress you will be adding channels for different keyboard sound
combinations. At this time you should have your amplification set up as well. Any
other questions dealing with equipment set up, refer to their respective manuals.
Once everything is plugged in, power up your system in this order; controller,
sound modules, effects, mixer, EQ, and amplifier. This procedure will eliminate
any potential hazards to your system.
To program the controller properly you must understand in what sequence to push
the buttons to get the desired result. Let's take a look at the program function key
located under the two LEDs.
PROGRAMS:
The Studio-90 Plus is equipped with 100 programs, represented numerically
between numbers 00 and 99. In order to get from one program to another you
must press the buttons in a particular sequence. First, enter program mode by
pressing the button marked (prog.). Do this now. A light will illuminate at this
time underneath the program button, (when the unit is turned on, the program
light will already be illuminated) then enter a program number by pressing two of
the numeric keys. (Example, enter program 00, program 05 or any other desired
program up to 99).
At this point the numeric LED will flash, then you must press the ENTER* button
located to the right of the numeric key pad. This process will lock the desired
program into a current working memory location. Do this a couple of times so you
can get the feel of moving through programs. (You will find that the ENTER button
must be pressed every time you want a function to work properly regardless what
you are attempting to do.) Another way to advance programs, is to use a foot
switch plugged into the program change jack, located on the back of the controller.
This will advance the programs in numerical order only.
PARAMETERS:
Now you can start programming parameters within a program. Let us start by first
picking a program, let's try program 00. If you're not sure how to do this, just
reread the last paragraph. OK, now that you are there, you will need to address the
parameters and see how they work.
Using the parameters on the Studio-90 Plus is easy once you get a handle on it. If
you take a look at top of the controller you will see a listing of nineteen
parameters, starting from 00 to 18. In order to access these parameters, press the
parameter (param.) button located on the lower left below the two LEDs. Please
do this now. You will notice that a red light will illuminate under that parameter
button. Now we will choose our first parameter.
SPLIT LEFT-SPLIT RIGHT:
The Studio-90 Plus has two split points represented by parameter 00 (SPLIT LEFT),
and parameter 01 (SPLIT RIGHT). You can assign these split points any where on
the keyboard. These parameters will allow you to have the controller operate in
single mode, split mode or layer mode. For now operate the controller in single
mode (one sound across the keyboard). In the next section there will be examples
of split and layer mode.
* Note: Enter all programs, parameters and values into the memory by pressing
the enter key. The enter key acts as a save function.
In order to activate this mode at this time, press the parameter button. Then press
00 on the numeric key pad. At this point the LEDs will flash number 00, now press
the ENTER key. This procedure will lock parameter 00 into position and move the
red light to the VALUE* function. The VALUE function has a range from 00 to 88
within parameters 00 and 01. You will see how to use different types of VALUES
for these parameters later on in this text.
