Play response

From the main SELECT PROG page, press the

RESP button. This allows you to make

"instant" adjustments to parameters for which you might otherwise have to do a lot of

button-pressing. Settings made here override settings made in the EDIT SAMPLE, EDIT

PROD or MIDI modes.

On the first line of the PLAY RESPONSE page is the name of the program whose

parameters are to be changed. You can select a program to be changed by using the DATA

knob or the

+ / < and - / > buttons. Note that when you have selected a program for changing,

this is not necessarily the same as the program selected in the main SELECT PROG page.

Playing the keyboard or the

ENT / PLAY button will play the program which is currently

selected from the main SELECT PROG page, not the one whose parameters are being

edited here.

The first parameter which can be altered is the MIDI channel on which this program can be

played ("MIDI channel"). Set this to a value from 1 to 16, or OM (OMNI).

The channel on which Program Change information is received may be selected in the

MIDI mode to be OMNI or any other channel, so that, program changes can be made

independently of this MIDI channel setting.

The S1000 is capable of playing up to sixteen notes (samples) at one time. The next

parameter, "

polyphony", allows you to select how many notes (1 to 16) can be played at a

time by this particular program. If the program allows a large number of notes to be played,

but other programs have to play other notes over the maximum of 16, more notes may be

"stolen" from these programs (see the

"priority" parameter below).

The "priority" parameter allows you to specify how notes will be "stolen" by other

programs if this is necessary. There are four settings: LOW, NORM, HIGH and HOLD. If a

program is set to LOW priority, then notes from this program will be "stolen" first. If set to

HIGH, then notes from other programs with lower priority will be "stolen" before they are

stolen for this program. NORM is, of course, normal priority, between HIGH and LOW. If

you are playing a complex piece of music using many programs, it is a good idea to set

important, "lead-line" programs to HIGH, and less important background programs to

LOW. HOLD is a special priority. If a program's priority is set to HOLD, notes from this

program can only be "stolen" by the same program.
