Quick Editing on the S760
With the Quick Editing feature you can change some basic parameters of the sounds in your Performance.
1. From the Performance Play page, press Shift then Jump, then scroll down with the cursor arrow keys to 17) Quick Edit.
2. Press S1 and you will come to the Quick Edit page. You can determine which Partial you are editing by turning your data dial until you find the Partial you want to edit. Move your cursor to each of the following parameters and highlight the parameter you want to change. You change the values with the Value/Menu knob.
Pitch
1. KF, determines the keyfollow parameters.
2. Cor, adjusts the coarse tuning of the sample.
3. Fin, adjusts the fine tuning of the sample.
TVF (filter)
1. Fil, selects between LPF (Low Pass filter), BPF (Band Pass Filter), or a HPF (High Pass Filter.
2. Cut, sets the cutoff frequency.
3. Res, sets the resonance of the filter you’re using.
TVA (Envelope)
1. Lev, affects the volume for the Partial. As you lower it, you’ll notice that the amount of dynamic response set to the velocity will decrease.
2. Rel is the release time for the envelope. As you increase the value you’ll notice an increase in the length of time of the sample sustains after you release the key.
3. Vel, is the velocity response. This will change the keyboard response of the Velocity curve that is assigned to the sample. You will see a small display next to the curve you selected.
Looping
1. You can select the Loop Type at the bottom of the screen with the function buttons. By pressing the F1 button you can select 1Shot, Forward+1Shot, Alternating (forward and reverse) RevOne, Rev, Fwd or Fwd+R.
2. By pressing the Shift button, then F3, you can go to the Loop parameter page and change the sample, loop start and end parameters.
Performance EQ
Performance EQ allows you to boost or diminish selected bands of frequencies on a specific Patch in a Performance. You can assign the EQ to be routed to a specific output or stereo pair, depending on your output configuration. There are eight channels of 2-band EQ.
1. From the Performance Play page press Shift, then press Jump.
2. Scroll down with the cursor arrow to 20) Perform EQ, then press S1. You will come to the Perform EQ page.
3. Highlight the space above the EQ parameters and select the Patch by turning the Value/Menu knob.
4. After selecting the Patch, you can choose whether or not the EQ is assigned in stereo or individual modes. By pressing the F1 button, you can select between the two modes.
5. Move your cursor to the output that affects your Patch. If you set-up the Patch on the Performance Play page to stereo output A, then you should change your output to “A” on the Performance EQ page.
6. Select with your cursor either H.F. (High Frequency) or L.F. (Low Frequency) and then select the particular frequency band you wish to change by turning the Value/Menu knob.
7. Move the cursor to either H.G. or L.G., depending on whether you picked H.F. or L.F. beforehand. You can now change the emphasis of the EQ affecting your Patch with your Value/Menu knob. To hear the effect of the EQ, switch between EQ On and Bypass.
Deleting Sounds
You can delete Volumes, Performances, Patches, Partials, and Samples from the internal memory by selecting Delete in the Command function within most of the modes on the S-760. After highlighting Delete press S1. Choose the Target (TG), press S1. Select a target from the menu that will appear and press S1 to mark the target(s) you wish to delete. Press F3 to execute. Deleting sounds from RAM deletes the data from memory, then reorganizes the remaining sounds in memory. Depending on the location and size of the file being deleted, this may take some time to perform. Listen Delete
Listen Delete is a feature that allows you to shrink your patches so they use less of the internal memory of your sampler. After you use Listen Delete, save your optimized Performance to disk, and reload it to your S-760.
For this example, let’s use a drum kit from the Preview Disc that comes along with your sampler. Load the Performance file KIT:TR-909 KIT (see loading sounds) and go to the Performance Play page. Play some of the sounds, noting the location of the hi hat, kick drum and snare drum.
1. From the Performance Play page, press the Shift button, then Jump.
2. Move the cursor down using the down arrow button to 7: Listen Delete and press the S1 button.
3. You will now come to the Listen Delete page. Turn the Value/Menu knob to determine which Patch you are going to edit.
4. Press F3-Start, the bottom of the screen will read “Wait for note on”. At this point, play the hi hat, kick and snare and any other sounds you like. Once you have played all the notes you want to keep in your Patch, press F3 again.
5. The bottom of the screen will have three options. F1-Go On, F2-Cancel, or F3- Exec. If you’ve completed playing the samples you wanted to keep, press F3-Exec.
6. Press F2-Sounded. You will go back to the first Listen Delete screen. Now, play your keyboard. The keys that weren’t played will have no samples assigned to them. Your Performance is now modified and more efficient. Save the Performance to disk, clear the memory, then reload the new Performance. This will reduce the amount of memory consumed by this modified Patch.
