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.
At this time the keyboard is asking you at what key location on the keyboard
would you like your first split. You will see a number in the screen. No matter
what that number is now, please press 27 on the numeric key pad. This number
will flash. Now press the ENTER key to lock this position into the memory of the
keyboard. You have just set parameter 00 (SPLIT LEFT) to the 27th key on the
keyboard, that is musically speaking, B in the 3rd octave or B3. Repeat this process
a couple of times in order to get a feel for the programming.
Let's move on. Now press parameter 01 on the numeric key pad.
At this point the LEDs will flash number 01, now press the ENTER key. This
procedure will lock parameter 01 into position and move the red light to the
VALUE function. The keyboard is now asking you at what key location on the
keyboard would you like your second split. At this time you will see a number in
the screen. No matter what that number is now, please press 63 on the numeric
key pad. This number will flash. Press the ENTER key to lock this position into the
memory of the keyboard. You have just set parameter 01 (SPLIT
RIGHT) to the 63rd key on the keyboard that is musically speaking, B in the 6th
octave or B6. Repeat this process a couple of times in order to get a feel for the
programming.
At this time, the controller's program has three zones. Zone one is from A1 to B3,
zone two is from B#3 to B6 and zone three is from B#6 to the highest key of the
keyboard. This is where things could get confusing, but do not let it. Remember,
you want to get one
* Note: From here on out you must program a VALUE for every parameter in use.
VALUE could mean anything from a key location to transposition to program
change. We will see how this VALUE works in other situations later on in this text.
For now let's just stay with parameter 00 and 01.
sound across the keyboard. How do you do this if there are three zones across the
keyboard? The answer is simple. Locate parameters 08, 09 and 10, these are the
midi channel parameters or as the parameter chart refers to it as CHANNEL MIDI 1,
2, and 3. Set each VALUE to number 01, using the method that you already have
learned. More about midi channels later.
