30 Playing and editing Programs Easy Program editing Simple editing using the sliders and knobs All of the <strong>M50</strong>’s programs can be edited. You can start by editing a preloaded program, or you can initialize a program and create your own from scratch. It is a lot of work to create the sound you want by starting with an initialized program. It’s often more convenient to start with a preloaded program that’s close to what you have in mind, and then edit it to your taste. On the <strong>M50</strong>, you can use the knobs of the front panel control surface to make very effective edits simply from within the Prog P0: Play page. For example, you can vary the cutoff, resonance, or release time by operating the knobs. Adjusting the EQ You can adjust a mid-sweepable three-band EQ in the Prog P0: Play– Main page. This EQ will affect both oscillator 1 and oscillator 2. 1. Access the Prog P0: Play– Main page. 2. In the display, select the EQ that you want to edit. 3. Use the VALUE controllers (e.g., VALUE slider) to edit the value. EQ Controlling Volume, Mute, and Solo for Oscillators 1/2 and the Drum Track In the Prog P0: Play– OSC/DrumTrk Mixer page, you can adjust the volume of the oscillators and drum track, and make mute and solo settings. 1. Access the Prog P0: Play– OSC/DrumTrk Mixer page. OSC Play/Mute Drum Track Play/Mute Volume Menu 2. Select a slider in the display, and use the VALUE slider etc. to adjust the volume of oscillators 1 and 2 and the drum track. Note: With single-oscillator programs, you won’t be able to control oscillator 2. 3. You can press the Play/Mute button in the display to toggle the Play/Mute status of oscillators 1 and 2 and the drum track. 4. You can press the Play/Mute button in the display to toggle the Solo On/Off status of oscillators 1 and 2 and the drum track. The operation of the Solo function will switch each time you select “Exclusive Solo” in the menu (see PG page 73). Using control surface to edit sounds or effects You can use the control surface to control the sound or effects in real time. 1. Press the control surface REALTIME CONTROL switch (the LED will light). 2. If desired, display the Prog P0: Play– Control Surface page.
3. There are two modes of realtime control, A and B; these will alternate each time you press the REALTIME CONTROL switch. Each mode lets you use knobs 1–4 to control the assigned parameters. In A-mode, knobs 1–4 are assigned dedicated functions corresponding to MIDI control changes. In B-mode, knobs 1–4 can be assigned a variety of functions. Many of these have corresponding MIDI control changes. When you move a knob, the corresponding MIDI control change message will be transmitted. When a MIDI control change message is received, the value of the knob will change to the value of that control change message. Normally, the amount of change produced by a knob will depend on the internal settings of the program. When the knob is in the center position, the program will sound according to its own original settings. To change the setting to its maximum value, move the knob all the way to the far right. To change the setting to its minimum value, move the knob all the way to the far left. Knob scaling 99 Parameter Value As Programmed 00 0 64 127 CC Value For example: 1. Select Program A064, “Smooth Operators.” This is an electric piano sound; let’s see what we can do to make it sound a bit different. 2. Press the control surface REALTIME CONTROL switch to select A-mode (the LED will light). 3. While you perform, slowly raise knob 1 (filter frequency) to about three-quarters of its full range. Notice how the piano becomes a sort of synth sweep. 4. Next, raise knob 2 (filter resonance) to about threequarters as well. 5. Leaving knob 2 at that position, try raising and lowering knob 1. With the resonance increased, it now sounds like you’re playing through a wah pedal. Easy Program editing Simple editing using the sliders and knobs Reset Next, let’s say that you decide that’s not really what you wanted–so, we’ll set the knobs back to their default values. Although you could return the knob to its middle position and then make fine adjustments to set it precisely to the center, there is an easier way. 1. Hold the RESET CONTROLS switch. 2. While holding RESET CONTROLS switch, first move knob 1, and then knob 2. As you move the knobs, their values will be reset to the default, center positions. 3. Release the RESET CONTROLS switch. Now, you’re back to the original electric piano sound. The table below shows the standard assignments of the Control surface Realtime Control knobs: Knob MIDI CC Normally controls… A–1 74 Filter Cutoff Frequency A–2 71 Filter Resonance A–3 79 Filter EG Intensity A–4 72 EG Release Time B–1, 2 Varies for each Program B–3 Often Chorus Depth - but can vary per Program B–4 Often Reverb Depth - but can vary per Program Saving the edits you made by moving the knobs The control surface Realtime Control knobs are great for modulating sounds in performance. If you like, you can also save the edited version of the sound, using the normal Write Program command. For details, please see “Saving your edits” on page 33. However for Realtime Control B mode knobs 1–4, the edited settings can be saved only if you’ve assigned CC#70–79. Internally, a single knob usually affects several different parameters. When you write a Program, the edits are saved into the individual program parameters, and not to the knob itself. After writing the Program, you’ll notice that the knobs have returned to their center positions–since the old “edited” values are now the new “saved” values. Assigning Realtime Control B-mode functions to knobs 1–4 You can assign the functions that knobs 1–4 will perform when control surface Realtime Control Bmode is selected.
