Thanks as well for opening up this tutorial. The tutorial is designed to take you step by step through most of the major features of the TS-10 or TS-12 Performance/ Composition Synthesizers This is a sequential process, so it is important to complete each step before moving on to the next — skipping ahead might put you out of syne with the tutorial, making it difficult to understand what's going on. If you're having difficulty completing a step in the tutorial, don’t worry. Simply back up to the last step you successfully completed, and start again from that point. You may have noticed that this manual refers to two different products; the TS-10 and the TS-12 Performance /Compesition Synthesizers. In this document, when there are notable differences, the keyboards will be specifically addressed as the TS-10 and the S-12. When the text pertains to both products, they will be mutually referred to as Te After you've finished this tutorial, you'll be on the way to using the TS to its fullest potential. Don’t forget the Musician’s Manual — it contains all the details you'll need to help you understand your new keyboard in depth. In particular, after finishing this tutorial it’s recommended that you read Section 1 — Controls and Basic Functions in your ‘Musician’s Manual — it will give you the additional information you'll need to get going. ‘You will need the following materials to complete this Tutorial: * Your TS-10 or TS-12. * Ablank, unformatted 35 floppy disk (either double or high density). * Anaudio monitoring system (keyboard amp, mixer, headphones, etc.). * Audio cables for connection to your audio monitoring system, Once you've collected these items, you can turn the page and begin.1S Tutorial Making Connections 1. Connect one end of the AC power cable (found in the in-box accessory kit) to the receptacle on the TS labeled power (it’s located next to the power switch); connect the other end of the AC cable to a grounded AC line outlet. 2. Connect the SW-2 Foot Switch (found in the in-box accessory kit) into the jack labeled Foot Switch 1 on the rear panel of the TS. sels Headphone: Power Phones,| {f—Main Audio Outputs (E58 =0 Ge ceeesed 8-10 or TS-12 Keyboard Note: Itis a good idea to make sure your audio system is turned off (or down) when making connections, to avoid damaging speakers or other components. 3. Connect the Main Outputs of the TS to the line level inputs of a mixer, instrument amplifier, stereo, or any other sound system, using shielded audio cables (available from your local music, electronics, or audio supply dealer). The end of the cable that you plug into the TS will need to be a 1/4 inch phone jack type. The other end of the ‘able will depend on what you are plugging the TS into. If you're using a home stereo system, you'll probably need RCA phono plugs on this end of the cable. Most musical instrument amplification systems use the same type of jack as the TS. For these systems you'll need 1/4 inch phone plugs on both ends of the cables. If your system is stereo, connect the Left and Right Main Outputs of the TS to two input channels of your system. If your system includes stereo pan controls, pan the these systems you'll need 1/4 inch phone plugs on both ends of the cables. If your system is stereo, connect the Left and Right Main Outputs of the TS to two input channels of your system. If your system includes stereo pan controls, pan the inputs channel used for the Left Main Output of the TS full left, and the input channel used for the Right Main Output of the TS full right. If you are using a home stezeo system (or something similar), simply connect the cable from the Left Main Output of the TS to the left input of your system, and the cable from the Right Main Output of the TS to the right input of your system. If your system is mono, use either of the TS Main Outputs, but make sure nothing is, plugged into the other output. For listening through headphones, plug the phones into the rear-panel jack marked Phones.TS Tutorial Note: The TS Main Outputs are line-level, and are intended to be connected only to line-level inputs, such as those on a mixer, stereo pre-amp, keyboard amp, etc. Connecting the Main Outputs to a mic-level input, such as a guitar amp or the microphone jacks on a tape deck, is not recommended and might result in damage to the device input. 4. Move the Volume Slider all the way up. As with any digital musical instrument, the TS will give the best results if you keep the Volume Slider full on, and use the volume control on your mixer or amp to adjust its level. 5. Switch the audio system on, and adjust the amplifier volume for normal listening levels. If the sound is too soft or loud, adjust the levels accordingly. Selecting Programs and Sounds ‘We'll begin our tutorial by selecting and playing a few of the Sounds. 1. Press the Sounds button. This puts the TS into Sounds mode. The display will be showing you the six sounds available in the bank that’s currently selected (more on banks later). 2. Press the soft button* directly above or below the sound you want to select (the bank of sounds you see may differ from the one shown here). ea & ag UG-@ GENESIS. GRAND-PIANG ELEC-KEYS MIST MULTI-BASS — THE-GROOUE Soft Buttons “The buttons located inside the display are called soft buttons because the functions of these buttons are determined by the TS software. You can access other banks of programs in the current BankSet (more on BankSets later) using the ten Bank battons located directly under the TS display. 1. Press one of the ten Bank buttons (0-9) below the display; its yellow LED will light. using the‘ten tsank buttons located airectly under tne 15 aispiay. 1.

Press the soft button directly above or below the name of the sound you wish to play. Banks are organized into larger groupings called BankSets. 1, Press the BankSet button a few times, Each time you press, the TS displays the new BankSet and the sounds within it. The name of the BankSet is located in the upper left comer of the screen. 2. You can select Banks and Sounds from each BankSet as described above. Note: The first two BankSets (U0-0 through U0-9 and U1-0 through U1-9) contain the User sounds; you can over-write sounds in these BankSets with your own sounds or other sounds. The next three BankSets (R2-0 through R2-9, R3- through R3-9, and R4-0 through R4-9) contain the standard ROM sounds; these are permanently stored in ROM memory and cannot be over-written (although they can be edited and stored in the User Banks). Using the Real-Time Controllers Real-time controllers are a type of controller that lets you modify sounds as you play them, The TS includes a number of real-time controllers. The function of each is programmable and can vary from sound to sound. For these next few exercises, move to Bank 0 in BankSet U0 (the display should be showing “U0-0' in the upper left corner). Using the Pitch Bend Wheel 1. Select the sound MIST. 2. Move the Pitch Bend Wheel (the wheel farthest left) while playing the keyboard This will allow you to bend the pitch of the sound. The Pitch Bend Wheel, like the other controllers, can be programmed to do other things, too. See your Musician's Manual for details. Using the Mod Wheel 1. Select the sound MULTI-BASS. 2. While playing a key, move the Mod Wheel (the wheel farthest right). Pushing the wheel forward will add vibrato to the sound. 3. Select the sound GRAND-PIANO. wheel forward will add vibrato to the souind. 3. Select the sound GRAND-PIANO. 4. Move the Mod Wheel. Pushing the wheel forward will allow you to control the effects mix for this sound. Note: The Mod Wheel, unlike the Pitch Bend Wheel, does not return to the center detented position once released; it remains wherever you set it. Normally, you'll want it left rolled all the way toward you when you're not using it. Using the Poly-Key Pressure Feature (available on TS-10 only) Pressing harder on the key (once it’s already down) generates Poly-Key information. This controller information can be used in a variety of ways: 1. Press the Bank 1 button and select the sound SITAR-GRUV.TS Tutori 2. Press the G4 key down (the G above middle C), then press more firmly on the key. Notice that the pitch is raised a whole step. 3. Press the E2 key (the lowest E key), and then press harder. Notice that the pitch is lowered a whole step. This is because Poly-Key pressure, like all modulators, can be assigned to modulate different parameters (in different ways) within the same sound. Note: Poly-Key pressure is the only modulator that allows you to affect individual notes. within a chord. Other modulators (such as the Pitch Bend Wheel or the Mod Wheel) will affect all notes sounding. Using the Patch Select Buttons Another ENSONIQ exclusive is the Patch Select buttons. You'll find these Jocated above the Pitch Bend Wheel. 1. Select the sound TUTORIAL from Bank 9 in BankSet U1 (the display should be showing ‘U1’ in the upper left corner). 2. Play a note or chord. 3. Press and hold the left Patch Select button and play a note or chord. 4. Press and hold the right Patch Select button and play a note or chord. 5. Press and hold both Patch Select buttons and play a note or chord. In this case the Patch Select buttons are used to call up completely different sounds 6. Select the sound ELEC-KEYS from Bank 0 in BankSet 0 (the display should be showing U0-0’ in the upper left corner). 7. Try holding first the left, then the right, and then both Patch Select buttons while playing the sound. In this case, the Patch Select buttons are used to call up different versions of the sound. Stacking Sounds Stacking (layering) sounds is simple. 1. Press the Sounds button to enter Sounds mode if you are currently in some other mode, and select Bank 0 in BankSet UO. Stacking (layering) sounds is simple. 1. Press the Sounds button to enter Sounds mode if you are currently in some other mode, and select Bank 0 in BankSet U0. 2, Select the GRAND-PIANO sound. This will be the primary sound. 3. Double-click (press twice rapidly) the soft button directly below the MIST sound. ‘This will become one of two possible secondary sounds. If you play the keyboard now, you will hear both sounds. 4. Double-click the soft button directly below the MULTI-BASS sound. This will become the other secondary sound. If you play the keyboard now, you will hear all three sounds.TS Tutorial Note: You can “un-stack” any secondary sound by pressing its soft button once. You can “un- stack" all voices and return to playing a single sound by pressing once on the primary sound’s soft button, Before you continue, make sure that GRAND-PIANO is selected as the primary sound, and that MIST and MULTI-BASS are “stacked” with the GRAND-PIANO. Presets Sounds that have been stacked together can be saved as Presets. Up to three sounds can be combined to form a Preset, and these three sounds can be split and/or layered in any way. The TS includes 300 Presets when shipped from the factory. Selecting a Preset 1. Press the Presets button. 2. Press the soft button nearest the name of the Preset you wish to select. Selecting Other Presets in the Current Bank * Select the Presets in the current Bank to get a sense of how this process works. Note that each time you sefect a new Preset the effect sound changes. This is because each Preset can have its own effect setup, overriding the effects’ setups for the individual sounds used in the Preset. Selecting Presets in Other Banks within the Current BankSet ‘As with Sounds, Presets are grouped into sets of six, called Banks. 1. Press one of the ten Bank buttons (0-9) below the display; its yellow LED will light. 2. Press the soft button directly above or below the name of the Preset you wish to play. Selecting Presets in Other BankSets As with Sounds, banks of Presets are organized into larger groupings called BankSets. 1. While holding down the BankSet button, press one of the first five Bank buttons (0- 4) to select a new BankSet. Alternatively, you can press the BankSet button. repeatedly to scroll through all the BankSets. 2. Select Banks and Presets from the new BankSet as described above. repeatedly to scroll through all the BankSets. 2. Select Banks and Presets from the new BankSet as described above. Editing Presets Entering Edit Presets Mode 1. Select a Preset by pressing its soft baton. 2. Press the Preset’s soft button again. The display will replace the Preset’s name with *-EDITED-*. Pressing the soft button for a preset once selects the preset; pressing it again recalls the last edited preset (in this case, the GRAND-PIANO/MULTI-BASS/MIST stack we were just working with). Note that the last three sounds you selected become the current Edit Preset. You can examine the sounds and parameters that make up the current Edit Preset:TS Tutorial 3. Press the Presets button. The display shows: { a = es | PSET [MULT|-BASS ist GRAND-P1ANO *-EDITED-* *URITE* This is showing the three sounds you have stacked. GRAND-PIANO has a solid underline, indicating itis the primary sound; MULTI-BASS and MIST both have flashing underlines, indicating that they are secondary sounds. Note: The order is not always the same. It depends on which track (1-3) the primary sound is in when in the Edit Buffer. Editing Presets ‘A number of parameters can be edited so you can tailor Presets to your specific needs. For the most part, each of these parameters is edited in the same way. For example, to change the volume of the GRAND-PIANO sound: 1. Press the Mix/Pan button in the Track Parameters section. 2. Press the soft button underneath GRAND-PIANO. The number is underlined, as in the display: ee ae ea =a MIX MULTI-BASS itisT SAPLD-PLANO 127 127 127 a { = = PC) . = ae 3. Use the Data Entry Slider and /or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to change the value to 108, You can hear the volume changes as you play the keyboard. Editing the key range of sounds in a Preset works abit differently: 1. Press the Key Zone/Velocity button. Faiting the key range of sounds in a Preset works a bit differently: 1. Press the Key Zone/Velocity button. 2. Press the soft button below the GRAND-PIANO sound; the low key (A0) for this sound will be selected. 3. Play the note C4 (middle C); this will set C4 as the low key for this sound. Be sure not to play the note more than once, or you'll change the setting for the high key as well. If you inadvertently change the high note (which should be set to C8), press the soft button twice to select (underline) the high note parameter, and move the Data Entry Slider all the way up to reset the high note to C8. 4. Press the soft button below the MIST sound; set its low key to C4 in the same way.TS Tutorial 5. Press the soft button below the MULTI-BASS sound twice (the first press selects the low key, the second press selects the high key). 6. Play the note B3 to set the high key for the bass sound to B3. You have just defined key ranges for each sound within the preset. When you play the keyboard, MULTL-BASS stops at B3, and GRAND-PIANO js layered with MIST in the upper half of the keyboard. Let's also edit the transposition of the GRAND-PIANO sound: 1. Press the Tuning button. 2. Press the soft button below the GRAND-PIANO sound; the octave parameter will be selected. Press the Up Arrow button once to set the octave to +1 You have just transposed the GRAND-PIANO track up one octave. At this point, you can play the keyboard and hear the difference. Editing Preset Effects The effect used in a newly created Preset is a copy of the effect used in the Preset’s primary sound. The effect, however, can be freely edited without changing the effect in the original sound. Changing the Preset Effect Algorithm 1. Press the Track Effects button three times to move to the Effect Selector page. 2. Press any of the soft buttons in the upper row to select the EFFECT= parameter: 2 a EFFECT=23 PARAMETRIC EQ + PLATE UARIATION=*-USER UARIATION—* [ ea a 3. Use the Data Entry Slider and/or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to scroll through the list of effect algorithms available. You can listen to the different effects algorithms CS = _ = 3. Use the Data Entry Slider and/or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to scroll through the list of effect algorithms available. You can listen to the different effects algorithms while in this mode by playing the keyboard. When you've finished, select EFFECT=45 CHORUS + REVERB 1 before moving on to the next exercise. Changing Effect Bus Routing Most of the effect algorithms contain multipie effects. In some cases you may want to have different sounds processed by different effects. You can determine which of the effects in a multi-effect algorithm will affect a particular sound by editing the sound’s effect bus routing.TS Tutorial 1. Press the Track Effects button seven times to move to the BUS page = == BUS MULTI-BASS NIST. GRAND-P AN VOICE VOICE VOICE 2. Press the soft button underneath the MULTI-BASS sound (VOICE is underlined). 3. Use the Data Entry Slider and /or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to set the output routing to -DRY-; the bass sound will now be heard without any effect. 4. Press the soft button underneath the GRAND-PIANO sound. 5. Use the Data Entry Controls to set the output routing to -FX2-; in the current effect, the FX2 bus is routed to the reverb only, bypassing the chorus. This will allow the piano to be heard without chorusing. Adding Dynamic Effect Modulation 1. Press the Track Effects button seven times to access the effects MOD-1 pa; [ss] 3 NOD-1 SRC=*OFF* DEST=FK-1 MIX NAR=e0 2. Press the soft button above SRC= to select it, and use the Down Arrow button or the Data Entry Slider to set it to VELOC; this assigns key velocity as the effect controller this preset will use. 3. Select DEST= and set it to DECAY TIME; this sets the reverb decay time as the effect parameter the SRC (key velocity) will modulate. 4. Set MIN to .20 and MAX to 2.00. This sets the minimum and maximum values for the reverb decay time, depending on how hard you play the keyboard, 4. Set MIN to .20 and MAX to 2.00. This sets the minimum and maximum values for the reverb decay time, depending on how hard you play the keyboard, ‘You can now control reverb decay from key velocity; striking the key faster provides longer reverb times — up to 2.00 seconds. However, you should probably designate which of the three sounds used in this Preset has control of the effect so that “controller conflicts” can be avoided. This becomes more important when using dynamic effects in sequences, where you may have a dozen sounds all fighting to control the same effect.TS Tutorial 1. Press the Track Effects button three times to access the MODS page: Ls) a a MODS NMULTI-BASS MIST GRAND-P | ANO CNTRL-FR CNTRL-FX = CNTRL-FX a a a 2. Press the soft button beneath the MULTI-BASS sound, 3. Press the Down Arrow button once to set this to NO-CNTRL 4. Press the soft button beneath the MIST sound, and press the Down Arrow button to set this to NO-CNTRL as well. Now only the GRAND-PIANO sound has control of the reverb decay in this Preset. You can verify this by pressing the soft button above the sounds to unstack them, selectin, the MIST or MULTI-BASS sound, and playing either at a variety of velocities; you'll find that the reverb decay time remains constant. If you select and play the GRAND-PIANO sound, though, the reverb decay time will change according to how hard you play the keys. Remember to re-stack the sounds when finished. Writing a Preset Let's save our new Preset. 1. Press the Preset button twice. 2. Press the lower right soft button beneath the word *WRITE*. This will take you to the Write Edit Preset page: ea Qe a WRITE EDIT PRESET NAME=-PRESET-@1- *EXIT* LEFT -CURSOR- RIGHT The upper right corner of the display shows the last selected Preset name. ee ee J The upper right corner of the display shows the last selected Preset name. 3. Use the soft buttons under the words LEFT and RIGHT to move the cursor under the letter of the Preset name that you wish to change. Use the Data Entry Slider or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to select the letter, number, or symbol you want. 4. Press and hold one of the ten Bank buttons to select the Bank you want to write the sound into. The six Presets currently in the Bank will be showing in the display. (If you want to write the Preset into another BankSet than the one that’s currently selected, press the BankSet button while continuing to hold the Bank button. Pressing the BankSet button repeatedly will toggle between the two User Preset BankSets. When you decide which BankSet and Bank to write the Preset into, move on to the next step).TS Tutorial 5. While holding the Bank button down, press the soft button nearest the location you want to write the new Preset into. Note that the Preset occupying the location you select will be replaced by the new Preset. All the factory Presets are stored on the disk included with your TS, and can be easily re-loaded if you want to get them back. Sequencing Before we move into the sequencing section of this tutorial, we'll need to load our sequencing files from the Tutorial Disk. Loading the Tutorial Sequence Files 1. Insert the disk labeled TSD-200 SOUND AND SEQUENCE DISK drive. 2. Press the Storage button. 3. Select DISK. 4, Select *LOAD*. You can select from several types of files to LOAD. 5. Use the Data Entry Controls to set the TYPE=30 SEQ/SONG file. The top line of the display will show LOAD FILE=TUTORIAL. 6. Select *YES*. In a few seconds the LOAD operation wil! be complete. Selecting Sequences and Songs As with Presets and Sounds, there are a number of jocations in which you can store Sequences and Songs. Selecting Sequences and Songs is similar to selecting Presets and Sounds. Playing the Demo Song T. Press the Seqs/Songs button to enter Sequencer mode. 2. Press the Bank 0 button to move to the bank containing the demo song. 3. Press the soft button above the name of the demo song to select the song. 4. Press Play — the demo song will play. 3.

Press the soft button above the Track 1 mix parameter again; the track will no longer be soloed, Note: Any Tracks that do not have recorded information will appear in parentheses, and cannot be un-muted. About Sequence Track Parameters Each Sequence Track has a group of controls associated with it. These are identical to the controls that are available when creating and editing Presets — KEY RANGE, ATTACK, VOLUME, RELEASE, PITCH BEND - Enable/Disable, BRIGHTNESS, LEO RATE, and TIMBRE — and these controls are used in exactly the same way. If you are unclear on how to use them, you may wish to review the Editing Presets section of this tutorial, or refer to your Musician's Manual. Songs ‘Among other things, Songs are used to control the order in which individual sequences play back. Creating a Song 1. Press the Seqs/Songs button. 2.

You will be taken to fhe SONG NAME page. Name the song MY-SONG. Note: Song names begin with a $ symbol that cannot be changed. This helps to differentiate songs from sequences when Viewing sequence/song banks. 5. Press the soft button above *YES*. You will find yourself back in the sequence/song banks, with your new song name occupying the last location in this bank.TS Tutorial Editing Song Steps As we've mentioned, individual sequences can be “chained” together to form a song. A finished song contains a number of steps, each of which plays back a specific sequence, as well as handling several other parameters that help make the creation of songs easy. The process of determining which song step plays which sequence, along with several related parameters, is called Editing Song Steps. Defining the First Song Step L. Press the Edit Song button. 2. Press the soft button below EDIT STEPS. You will be presented with the EDIT SONG steps display: = ez =a EDIT INSERT DELETE TRACKS SONG STEP=@1 SEQ=*SONG END* REPS=@1 L a 2 a 3. Select (underline) SEQ="SONG END*. 4. Press the Up Arrow button once, The display will blink, and the first sequence in memory, VERSE-1, will be assigned to the first step of the song. Changing the Sequence Played by the Song Step You can easily select a different sequence to play at any step of a song. To change the first step of this song so that it plays the sequence you created: ‘* Use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to scroll through the list of available sequences. Continue until you find the sequence MY-SEQ, and stop. This assigns MY-SEQ as the first step to play in this song. Defining Additional Song Steps 1. Press the soft button below STEP=01 to select it. 2. Press the Up Arrow button to change this to STEP=02. 2. Salat SRBOHPONGMDEW 9 fe tw SelBet it. * 2.

Press Play. The LOCATE page will be displayed, and the song will play the sequences in the order specified. If you watch the display as the song plays, you will see the name of whatever sequence is currently playing displayed. 2. When you've had enough, press Stop, Repeating a Song Step 1. Press the Edit Song button and select EDIT STEPS. 2. Select STEP=01. 3. Select REPS=01 and press the Up Arrow button once to change it to REPS=02. Song step 01 will now play twice when the song is played back. You can verify this by pressing Play and watching the display to see which sequences play, and for how ong. Inserting a Song Step 1. Ifyou're not still there, return now to the EDIT STEPS page (press the Edit Song button, then select EDIT STEPS). 2. Select STEP=01 and use the Data Entry Slider or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to change it to STEP=02. 3. Press the soft button above INSERT; a new step will be inserted at step 02. The sequence originally played at step 02 will now be played at step 03. 4. Select SEQ= -BLANK,, and use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to select the sequence MY-SEQ for step 02 of the song. Muting Tracks and Transposing Tracks Individual sequence tracks can be muted o* transposed during playback of the song, This can help to speed up the process of creating songs. For example, let’s say that in our song, we would like to play MY-SEQ two times. The first time, though, we'd like to hear it one whole step higher (in the key of G), without the bass part. The second time, we'd lke to hear it it the original key it’s writen in (F), and withthe bass part. Rather than having to create a separate sequence for each of these sections, we can selectively mute and transpose tracks to achieve the same result, thereby using only a single sequence, than having to create a separate sequence for each of these sections, we can selectively mute and transpose tracks to achieve the same result, thereby using only a single sequence. 1. Press the soft button above TRACKS, 2. The upper left comer of the display is showing you which step of the song is currently selected. Press the soft button above STEP=02 (or whatever step is showing) and use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to set the step to O1. 3. Press the soft button in the middle of the upper row; the first ‘P” (‘P” stands for Play, and the first one represents Track 1) will be selected. The bass part is on track 2, s0 press the soft button again to advance to track 2. 4. Press the Up Arrow button; the ‘P’ will change to ’M’ (for 'Mute’). Track 2, the bass track, will now be muted at this step.TS Tutorial 5. Press the soft button in the middle of the lower row; the first ‘N’ (for ‘Normal’) will be selected (again, this represents Track 1, the drum track). Press the soft button again twice to select the third 'N’; this is the track that plays the piano part you recorded. 6. Press the Up Arrow button to change this to ‘T’ (which stands for ‘Transpose’); this track will be transposed on playback (as long as we complete the next step and set a transpose amount). 7. Press the soft button under TRANSPOSE=+00. 8. Press the Up Arrow button twice to set the transpose amount to +02. Any tracks set +t0T’ (as track 3 is) will now play back 2 semitones higher than they were recorded when this step plays. 9. Press Play to listen to the song. When this step plays, you will hear your sequence play. It will be transposed up by two semitones, and the bass part will be muted. Song Tracks Once you've created a song, an additional 12 tracks called Song Tracks become available to you. Along with the 12 sequence tracks, this gives you a total of 24 tracks to make music with. While individual sequences are chained together to form songs, the Song Tracks run the entire length of the song. This can make them particularly useful for recording parts that might overlap from one sequence to the next. Or use them when you Want to adda part toa song that you'd prefer to play from beginning fo end Inall other ways, the Song Tracks function just like the sequencer tracks. Each Song, Track can have its own sound, MIDI channel, and other track parameters including, effects bussing, volume setting, pan setting, and so on. Selecting Song Tracks 1. With the new song still selected, press the Tracks 1-6 button. The Song Tracks window will be displayed. There will be a single sound assigned to track 1. It will be whatever sound you last selected before moving to the Song Tracks page. 2. Double-click the Tracks 1-6 button to view the sequence tracks. 3.

When the song has played through (or when you press stop) it will begin looping, and you will be presented with the Audition page. KEEP the NEW TRACK. Quantizing a Song Track Song Tracks can be edited and manipulated just like sequence tracks. For example, you might want to quantize your Song Track: 1, Press the Tracks 1-6 button to return to the Song Tracks window. 2. Ifit isn’t still selected, select Track 1. 3. Press the Edit Track button. 4. Select QUANTIZE 5. Set the quantize value to whatever best suits the track — 1/8 notes, 1/16 notes, etc. 6. Select *YES* to perform the quantize operation. You will be presented with the ‘Audition page. Play the original and the new tracks to verify that the Song Track quantized properly. 7. KEEP one of the tracks by pressing the appropriate soft button. Using Effects with the Sequencer As with individual sequences and presets, a song can have its own effects setup. 1. Press the Sequencer Control button twice to move to the second page of the CONTROL SNGS menu. Note: Many of the buttons on the TS access more than one page of functions. In these cases, pressing the button repeatedly will scroll through the various pages available. When you reach the last page, the list will “wrap around,” starting back at the first page again. 2. Note the setting for SONG STEP EFFECT. SONG STEP EFFECT can be set to either SEQ or SONG, it should currently be set to SONG. Note: If SONG STEP EFFECT is set to SEQ, then the effect used at any point during the song will be determined by the sequence.
