User manual KETRON MS50

[. . . ] Rather than reducing power and sound (which is usually the case), we have preferred to commit ourselves to a model without compromises for the sound quality, and a limited control panel layout (buttons cost money!), and without eliminating important functions such as the programming function of the Styles. Our XD9 can be expanded with the Vocalizer unit to harmonise the voice, with a built-in hard disk, with the video interface and with a Flash RAM card, which adds eight MB's of space for new samples. Considering the fact that music continuously changes, the XD9 keyboard has also been adapted to keep astride with time with innovative Styles and new functions for live music, offered for the first time ever on keyboards with arrangers of such categories. There is the Remix function, being the most simple and enjoyable way of changing the rhythm track of a Midifile using the Styles of the XD9 instrument. [. . . ] The numbering does not alter the name or the contents of the Midi files. LOADING A MIDI FILE FROM FLOPPY DISK Insert the floppy disk with Midi files with . MID extension. Enable SONG PLAY using the dedicated push button on the control panel and the LED will light up. Select Floppy Disk using the PAGE +/- push buttons. Display the list of files using the F5 Dir function push button. The display shows the first 20 Midi files stored. To display those that follow (If available), use the VALUE +/- push buttons. Enter the number of the Midi file to be loaded using the numeric keypad (STYLES push buttons) and the display will return to the initial page within the Song Play mode. Once loaded, the name and the number of the Midi file will be displayed. Start playback of the selected midi file using the START push button. The default setting also means that the words are displayed too, which can be disabled by pressing the F10 Lyrics function push button. There is no need to exit from the text display to load another Midi file; simply enter the number directly using the numeric keypad. By pressing them together at the same time, the whole Midi file is muted compared to the keyboard. The muting of the volume using this procedure however only relates to the built-in sound generator of the XD9, therefore there will be no changes if the Midi file is reproduced by an external module controlled via MIDI by the XD9. For the latter the general volume can be controlled using PAGE +/- (GM Remote Level) only when the Midi file is being played back; otherwise using the PAGE +/- push buttons will select the disk drive to be used (FD or HD). If the Midi file is generated by an external module via MIDI and is being played back through the XD9, the PAGE +/- push buttons pressed together at the same time mute the volume of the external module and not that of the built-in generator of the XD9. LOCATING A MIDI FILE RAPIDLY If hundreds of Midi files are grouped in a Folder they will be displayed in alphabetical order and with their own number assigned according to the time order in which they were copied or created in the Folder. One of these Midi files can be called up at any time from Song Play by entering the associated/assigned number using the numeric keypad, but it may prove more handy to search a Midi file according to its title. To search by title (auto search), proceed as follows: Display the list of Midi files using F5 Dir. Enter the first letters of the title using the keyboard's keys, which will be shown in the dedicated box under the disk in use. The display will show the first 20 Midi files found with these letters. To see the next use the VALUE +/- push buttons. The search function becomes more accurate by adding more letters. If a title is entered incorrectly, press F5 to start the procedure again.
