EDIT PROGRAM /

You may also set how many cycles there will be per beat and once you

go back beyond 1 BEAT/CYCLE, the parameter changes to X CYCLES/

BEAT. Thus, a setting of 8 CYCLES/BEAT will give you (not surprisingly!)

8 cycles for every crotchet beat.

**** NOTES ABOUT MIDI CLOCK SYNC ****

• The MIDI clock tempo is actually a ‘global’ value that affects all programs equally. However,

each program may have its own clock division so that, for example, in one multi, you could

have four programs each set to sync to MIDI clock. Program 1 could be set to sweep the

filter once every four bars whilst program 2 could do the same over sixteen bars whilst

program 3 is panning back and forth over eight bars and program 4 uses a faster clock

division to sync vibrato to MIDI clock. It is not possible (or even desirable!) to have different

programs syncing to different tempos simultaneously.

• You do not have to be receiving MIDI clock for LFO 2 to work and if the S6000 is not

receiving MIDI clock, the LFO will run at the tempo it last received. So, for example, if the

last MIDI clock it received was being generated at 144BPM, that is the speed (according to

the CLOCK DIVISION) that the LFO will run even if it is not actually receiving MIDI clock at

the time. This way, it is still possible to use LFO2 even if a no MIDI clock is present.

Furthermore, if you switch the sampler on and load programs that use MIDI clock sync (or

create programs and set MIDI clock sync), the default tempo will be 120BPM until such time

as the sampler actually receives actual MIDI clock. This is so that you can use and set LFO

2 without having to hook up your sequencer and load the sequence and have it running.

Once the sampler has received MIDI clock at any given rate, that is the rate at which the

programs’ LFOs will ‘free run’ when no MIDI clock is being received. So, for example, when

you switch on, the tempo will be 120BPM but once the sampler receives, say, 144BPM,

LFO 2 in all programs will subsequently ‘free-run’ at that rate when not actually receiving

MIDI clock.

• You should only receive MIDI clock through one of the S6000’s MIDI inputs A or B. DO NOT

SEND MIDI CLOCK TO BOTH MIDI INPUTS. If you do, you will get extremely unpredictable

results (the LFOs will run twice as fast in fact as well as having erratic sync). If your sequencer

has multiple MIDI outputs and two are connected to the S6000 for 32-channel sequencing,

you should disable clock transmission on one the outputs (it doesn’t matter which).

• LFO2 will sync to MIDI clock with an accuracy of better than 2%. The measurement error is

actually:

0.4% at 120BPM,

0.8% at 240BPM

1.6% at 480BPM and so on.

• It is possible to see the incoming MIDI clock tempo in UTILITIES > MIDI SETUP.

GOTO DEST This pops up a list of destinations the LFO may be assigned to for quick

and easy access to their pages.

GOTO SOURCE When any of the mod input parameters are selected, pressing this key

will take you directly to the controller’s page.

NOTE: If a mod parameter is not selected, you will receive a dialogue prompt advising you of

this. Similarly, if the mod source is one of the MIDI controllers, you will receive the same pop-

up prompt.
