Introduction

OPTION

This button is currently unimplemented. In line with the "open" design of the S1000,

future updates to the operating system software may bring enhancements to the

capabilities of this unit which will use this button.

MARK/JUMP

These two grey buttons to the right of the number keypad are used in conjunction with

each other. If you are carrying out editing operations which require changing display

pages a lot, these can save a lot of time and effort. Pressing the MARK

button when the cursor is on a field will cause the S1000 to remember the position of

the cursor, and pressing

JUMP will take the cursor back to the MARKed position from any

other page. Pressing

JUMP again will take you back to the page you were at before you

JUMPed.

You can reset the MARKed position at any time. This position is lost when the power is

turned off. At power-on, this position defaults to the program select field in the initial

SELECT PROG page.

NAME

When samples, programs or drum input settings are changed, they should be given a

name for easy reference. Pressing the

NAME button in certain pages will enable you to

name the data. Letters (uppercase only) are entered by pressing the front panel buttons.

Each button has a letter following its primary function (eg

DISK / M , 2 / X ), and when

entering names, pressing the

NAME button will switch the function of the number buttons

between letters and numbers. The CURSOR knob moves the cursor around inside the

name field when naming a sample or program.

As an example, after positioning the cursor on a name field, the following buttons

should be pressed to enter the name "BASS2":

NAME F2 / B F1 / A 9 / S 9 / S NAME 2 / X ENT / PLAY.

When entering names in letter mode, the + / < and - / > buttons work as backspace and

spacebar buttons respectively (when in number mode, they enter the "+" and "-"

characters, and the

MARK and JUMP keys enter "#" and "." respectively). The last button

enters and confirms the name, as described below.

ENT/PLAY

This is a dual-purpose button. When

naming samples, programs, etc, pressing this button

will end the naming process. When editing samples, however, pressing this button will

play back the sample at its current stage of editing, without your having to set up a

keyspan for the sample and find the correct key on a keyboard. The default note played

when this button is pressed will be C3 (middle C) at a velocity of 127, but this can be

altered in the MIDI TRAN page.

This concludes the tour of the front panel. It may seem rather brief, but bear in mind that

many buttons have many functions, and interact with each other in different display pages.

We have judged it better to give this brief description here, and concentrate later on the

function of each button in context.
