[. . . ] If it shows 1nt, su, sa/, youre about to save the Internal Voices Setup, which is not what you want to do. Be sure one of the 3 effects parameters (Internal Effect, Reverb Wet/Dry, or Chorus Wet/Dry) is selected, then try again. This ensures that all youre doing is associating a particular effect to a particular sound. Saving the Internal Voices Setup saves additional information, like the MIDI channel used by the sound. Press the Up arrow (Yes) button (Sound Select Group) or Store button to execute the save. If you change you mind, press the Down arrow (No) button or Cancel instead. The display will icker briey while the current effect number and intensity settings for the current sound are saved in EEPROM memory. 4. 5. Now, whenever this sound is selected, the internal effects will change to the settings you just saved. Modifying The MIDI Transmit Channel When in Internal Voices mode, anything you play is also sent to the MIDI Out port, which can be connected to external sound modules, a synthesizer, or a computer. By default, the MIDI signals are transmitted on Channel 1 but you may need to change that to match the channel your external device is listening to. Go to Edit mode, and select the MIDI Channel parameter (left column, third parameter; the LED should be on, not blinking). If youre not sure how to select parameters, see Modifying Effects on page 3-2 for an example. Use the Up or Down arrow buttonsor the digit buttons plus Enterto change to a new channel between 1 and 16. 2. The next notes or control movements you make will be sent on the new MIDI channel. Caution: changing this parameter while keys are down may cause stuck notes. Velocity Curve 1-8 Allows you to alter the relationship between keyboard playing effort (keystroke velocity) and the resulting sound volume (for velocity sensitive voices). See page 4-11, and Velocity Curve on page 4-6 for more. Reverb Wet/Dry, Chorus Wet/Dry 0-100, Noc This is the effect intensity for the currently-selected sound. Noc means that the effect intensity doesnt change when this sound is selected. A Ribbon 0-129, Off Species where signals from the left ribbon are sent. Default is Pitch Wheel, which the internal sound module does not respond to. Hold or Center Hld, Ctr Species whether the A ribbon signal remains at its last value or returns to center when your nger is lifted. Default is Center (Ctr). B Ribbon Up, B Ribbon Down 0-129 and Off Species where signals from the two halves of the right ribbon are sent. Some sounds will respond to modulation but none will respond to Expression. 3-5 Internal Voices Mode Editing Basics Hold or Zero Hld, Zro Species whether the B ribbon signal remains at its last value or returns to zero when your nger is lifted. Default is Hold. Control Slider, Control Pedal 0-129 and Off Species where signals from the front panel Volume/Controller slider and control pedal are sent. The internal sound module does not respond to Foot Controller signals. Switch Pedal R, Switch Pedal L 0-129 and Off Species where signals from the two possible switch pedals go. You can examine and change the values of any of these parameters using the same procedure as Modifying MIDI Transmit Channel above except modify the rst step to select the parameter of interest. And you can save your changes by selecting any noneffects parameter, then press Store. Read on for more about editing and saving parameters. Editing Basics The way the Stage Piano responds to your playing and control movements is determined by the setting or value of various parameters. [. . . ] t Timers Test (tim) This tests the hardware timers used by the sound board software. s Sound ROM Test (snr) This test calculates the checksum of the sound ROM content and compares it with the correct value. s Sound Chip Test (snc) This tests several functions of the sound ASIC. 7-9 Troubleshooting Diagnostics d Delay RAM Test (drm) This tests the memory used for the effects. s Sine Wave Test (sin) This test produces a 1KHz sine wave until either select button is pressed.
