The display of the words in the Arranger mode can be disabled using function push button
FF77 TTeexxtt
, set in
OOffff
, in the
FF33 UUttiilliittyy
menu that is acces-
sed from the main page of the display.
To automate the loading procedure of a .TXT file you can use a Registration keeping in mind two conditions:
●
The Single Registration must have the same name as the .TXT file to be loaded.
●
The .TXT file and that of the Single Registration must be stored within the same Folder (if using the HD) or same floppy disk.
If you record the settings of the Arranger, including the Style, in a Registration with the same name as the .TXT file to be loaded; when you call
up the Registration, the .TXT file will also be automatically loaded. The loading speed is obviously longer when the .TXT file is read from the
floppy disk rather than the hard disk
USING .TXT FILES WITH SONG PLAY
Compared to the Arranger it is not possible to first load a Midi file and then the .TXT file to be displayed. The method to automate the whole
process is that of giving the Midi file and it's associated .TXT file the same name so that, when loading the Midi file, the .TXT file is automatical-
ly found and loaded too. In
SSoonngg PPllaayy
as well, the display of the .TXT file is controlled by the
EEXXIITT
push button. The same conditions mentioned
above apply here too:
●
The Midi file must have the same name as the .TXT to be loaded.
●
The .TXT file and the Midi file must be stored in the same Folder (if on HD) or floppy disk.
To automatically call up the Midi file and the .TXT file set with the above mentioned conditions use the controls already described in
SSoonngg PPllaayy
(see specific section). To scroll any pages that follow, the words must be displayed and then use the
PPAAGGEE ++//--
push buttons. Press the
PPAAGGEE ++//--
pp
ush buttons together to display the first page of the words, press again to go to the last page of words and press a third time to return to the
page displayed initially.
SYNCHRONIZING THE CHANGES TO THE LYRICS/TEXT PAGE WITH A MIDI FILE
The SD5 can record the page change of the .TXT file displayed at any stage of a Midi file. By writing a text with black lines, you can achieve results
very close to Karaoke, obviously with some graphic restrictions. The synchronization procedure is always enabled when reproducing the Midi
file and there are no direct functions or controls to call it up. To achieve this however;
●
Load the Midi file and the .TXT file in
SSoonngg PPllaayy
.
●
Enable the Midi file playback mode using
SSTTAARRTT
.
●
When you wish to call up the next page press the
PPAAGGEE ++
push button (just as you would performing live).
●
Repeat the procedure for the following pages until the entire song is completed.
●
Press
SSAAVVEE
to record the synchronized page change.
●
Confirm the registration using
FF1100 SSaavvee
, or cancel the procedure using
FF55 EEssccaappee
.
●
The SD5 associates the page changes with the beats and the measures in which the page change occurred using some special codes within
the .TXT file. The Midi file itself is not modified in any way whatsoever. Therefore to return to the original .TXT file use the
FF44 CClleeaarr
function
and this will cancels these codes from the .TXT file.
