GM Part

Press the GM PART key to access a page which displays all the Midi tracks used by the Midifile loaded on the instrument.

This screen displays all the instruments used by the Midifile, with empty tracks shown in white. A level bar is also displayed in real time under the tracks that are playing.

If you select the SOLO key and then touch one of the 16 tracks, the track selected will play in “Solo” mode and the other tracks will be Muted.

If however you select the MUTE key and then one of the 16 tracks, the track selected will be muted.

If the MUTE key or the SOLO key are disabled and you select a track, a page opens on which you may modify the track selected.

By touching the image of the instrument assigned to the track, a Pop up will open on which you may select the family and each instrument.

Press EXIT to return to the previous screen on which you may modify the track. More specifically, you may introduce a tone transposition SHIFT, modify the dynamics sensitivity VELO, assign a category type PART MODE, in other words decide whether it must be recognised by the instrument as Voice track (normal instrument track), Drum (drum track), Drum2 (Grooves track), Voicetron (voice harmonisation track).

The virtual potentiometers set the level of VOLUME , REVERB, CHORUS and PAN (panorama), displayed in a box on the right hand side of the potentiometer.

On this window you may place the track on SOLO or MUTE .

Press EDIT to open a page on which you may adjust the envelope parameters (ADR) of the sound amplitude, Cutoff and resonance filter (VCF) and the parameters of the low frequency oscillator (LFO) used for the modulation effects.

The EFX INSERT key allows you to select the type of effect to insert in the track. This effect may be enabled or disabled with the ON/ OFF key below.

Press EXIT to return to the main GM Part page.

The key GM MIXER is displayed next to the SOLO and MUTE keys.

By pressing this key you enter a window that displays a virtual mixer for all the 16 tracks of the Midifile.

When the VOL key is enabled, you may adjust the volume by selecting the track and setting the value with the Dial.

The same thing happens with the REV, CHO and PAN keys.

On the GM Mixer page you can place the tracks on SOLO and MUTE by enabling the corresponding keys.

You may save all the modifications made to your Midifile on the main GM Part page.

To do this, simply press the SAVE key and the following window will appear on the display:

- INITIAL: Saves the modifications at the start of the Midifile, namely those made in the initial measure but keeps any sound and setting changes subsequently made in the next measures.

- GLOBAL: Saves the modifications introduced “globally”, namely they will be enabled for the entire duration of the song.

- REMOVE SONG SET UP : Remove old setting related of instrument saved on midi file. 

The Midifile keeps its original name and when you save the file you overwrite the file itself. The display shows a message asking you to confirm whether or not you wish to overwrite the file.

If you press YES you will overwrite the file.

If you press NO an alphanumeric keypad is displayed on which you can enter a new file name in order to keep the original file.

If you press CANCEL you will escape from save.

Tip: SD9 has a drum kit called SPECIAL KIT (GRV) arranged specifically to play better your midi file. You can select it from GM drum part reserved.
