[. . . ] Before you proceed much farther, we'd like to strongly encourage you to fill out and return the HPS 447N SB registration card. As an HPS 447N SB owner, you are entitled to receive notification of any firmware upgrades, technical support, and advance announcements of upcoming products.

[. . . ] To edit a specific Program you must first select that Program as the current Program. Do that by calling up the appropriate program number on the Program Mode Main Screen. Then, press the PROGRAMS button (the red LED under the PROGRAMS button will light). The number of the Program being edited will always appear in the top left corner of the various Program Edit pages. When editing a Program, you progress from one edit page to the next by pressing the PAGE button. When you are finished making changes, press the PROGRAMS button again. You will be prompted to save the changes (see the Save Program Page, below). 22 Display Screens and Menu Pages Speed Page The first edit page displayed is the SPEED page: Program:XX Speed (0 is fast): yy The SPEED control determines how rapidly pitch correction is applied to the incoming sound. A value of zero will cause instantaneous changes from one tone to another and will completely suppress a vibrato and any purposeful expressive pitch variations (note that any related volume changes will remain). Values from 6 to 10 are typical for vocals. Higher values allow more vibrato and other interpretative pitch gestures, but will slow down the rate at which pitch corrections are made. Although the above suggestions can be used as starting points, finding the correct Speed setting for a particular performance is largely a matter of trial-and-error and depends on such attributes as song tempo, note duration and vocal style, among others. Scale Page You tell the HPS 447N SB exactly which notes you want to correct on the Scale Page: XX:CC#DD#EFF#GG#AA#B By: This page allows you to specify the scale notes to which the HPS 447N SB tunes the input sound. Do whatever helps you best remember what you had in mind when you created the Program. Program:XX Name:aaaaaaaaaaaaa 25 Display Screens and Menu Pages To enter the name, place the cursor under each character space and use the data knob to select the appropriate character. Names may be a maximum of 13 characters. The following characters are available for naming (in this order): (space) (UPPER CASE LETTERS) (lower case letters) ­ . "# $ % & ` ( ) * + , : ; < = > ?@ [ ¥ ] ^ _ ` { | } -> <- Save Program Page Prog:XX Save?To Pgm YES XX After you finish examining and/or editing Program Edit parameters, press the PROGRAMS button again to exit. If you have made any changes, the Save Program Page appears. You may select YES to save or NO to ignore changes that have been make (they will then be lost). You may also specify a Program number to which the new Program is to be saved. If you save to a different Program number, that Program becomes the current Program when you return to the Main Page and the original Program remains unchanged. Song Edit Pages As explained in Chapter 1, the HPS 447N SB's Song Mode is designed to give you an easy and flexible way to control, in as much detail as you require, exactly how the HPS 447N SB will process each note of a song. Pressing the PROGRAMS button while the Song Mode main screen is displayed will place the HPS 447N SB in Song Edit Mode. [. . . ] Values are decimal unless an H is used to denote Hexadecimal values. For example, the MIDI bytes to select song mode for DEVICE NUMBER 3 are: F0H, 0, 1, 26H, 3, 1, F7H. <sys ex message> <manufacturer> <device num> <message bytes> or or or or <system data> = <midi channel> <midi sustain> <program change> <midi note> <pitch bend> <mod wheel> <foot switch> <speed controller #> <vibrato rate controller #> <vibrato delay controller #> <step controller #96> <sensitivity> <detune> <detune direction> <program data> = <program number> <speed> <scale 1>. . . <scale 12> <vibrato type> <vibrato depth> <vibrato rate> <vibrato delay> <pgm name 1>. . . <pgm name 13> 42 = <F0H> <manufacturer> <device num> <message bytes> <F7H> = <0 1 26H> = one byte in range 0 to 15.
