Sounds confusing, but a little reading and trial and error will lead to good things. Join the Yahoo group 'SR Addicts' and you might get some more pointed advice, but it's not a very active forum. You may want to look at a program like Jamstix 2. It does all the heavy lifting for you. You basically set it up A voice is a sound-generating element with several variable parameters: Drum sound, tuning, volume, output assignment the voice's audio output can go to either one of two sets of stereo outputs, and furthermore, to anywhere within the stereo field of the chosen set of outputs , and MIDI note number.
Each pad is velocity-sensitive: the harder you hit the pad, the louder the drum sound assigned to the pad will play. Thanks to the dynamic articulation techniques mentioned earlier, the timbre will often change as well, just like "real" drums. There are eight levels of pad volume resolution, from soft to loud. A default is a setting that is automatically assumed until you purposely change it.
Stop is therefore the VCR's power-up default status. The SR includes a default setup that assigns particular drum sounds to particular voices. The default drum sound assignments are printed in white on the pads. However, you can change these defaults and come up with any type of "drum set" you'd like.
Defaults save time by giving you a setup that's instantly ready to go; sometimes you'll need to change only a few parameters to customize the default setup to your liking. Often the default is "whatever was selected last. The SR includes seven main types of controls, along with a group of connectors located on the back panel.
The control groups see diagram are:. Tapping each button triggers an SR voice. These six buttons select various functions, some of which include multiple "pages" of options. These choose between the A, B, and Fill variations for a Pattern. These choose between Pattern and Song modes, Perform playback and Compose record modes, and the Preset and User patterns.
These control playback and stop, and work similarly to a tape recorder. The display informs you of the instrument's status, and also prompts you for data from time to time. A detailed description of the display follows shortly. The data entry buttons include number entry buttons and up arrow increment, or INC and down arrow decrement, or DEC.
The latter increase or decrease parameter values on step at a time. If you're used to scratching a turntable, you'll love the feel of this knob. It regulates the volume of the entire unit.
The LCD is divided into several "windows. This is the most commonly-used area of the display. When acting as a "dialog box," it lists parameters and the value to be edited e. In operations that require selecting a drum pad, this window displays the drum pad number. For some operations, it is necessary to press the PLAY button to confirm a particular operation, such as copy or erase. When stopped or running, this shows the current tempo and includes a visual metronome block that flashes on the beat.
This indicates whether the SR is in Compose or Perform mode. In Compose mode, shows the current click rhythm in standard music notation or OFF if click is off. In Compose mode, shows the current quantization rhythm in standard music notation or OFF if quantization is off. In Compose mode, shows the current swing rhythm, expressed as a percentage or OFF if swing is off. When referring to a numbered step in a set of steps, the step.
The SR identifies Patterns and Songs, as well as many other parameters, with numbers. You need to type in enter these numbers in a specific way as described below.
When the SR wants you to enter a number in the "Dialog" box, the display will show the previously-entered number or the default number , and the first digit will have a small underline called the cursor.
If the cursor is not present, the number is there for reference only. You are expected to enter something only if the cursor is present. If a value to be edited is a two-digit number, you must enter a two-digit number. If the number is a three-digit number, you must enter a three-digit number. If necessary, enter a leading 0 i. Example: The beat length is a three-digit number. To enter a beat length of 16, enter This feature may confuse you at first, but save you from potential problems as you become more familiar with the machine.
If all the required digits of a number aren't entered within two seconds, the display will revert back to the previous number, with the cursor under the first digit of the previous number. This is handy because if you start to enter a new number, but then change your mind halfway through, you don't have to key in or remember the original number again—just wait two seconds, and the display will revert to the original setting.
Pressing the INC button once increases the value of the entire number indicated by the cursor not just a single digit by one. Pressing the DEC button once decreases the value of the entire number indicated by the cursor not just a single digit by one. Example: If the display shows 00 and you want to enter 01, tap the INC button once.
If you press and hold a button, after a short pause the display will either increment or decrement at a rapid rate. Each button press sets the switch to its alternate state.
