Registrations
This is one exiting feature of the SD5 that captures the over-all settings of the keyboard at any one time and thanks to these special memory
locations, all the control panel settings and the main parameters that control the SD5 can be called up instantly. Once the Registrations have
been programmed they make it easy to quickly change the Style, the Voice variations, the settings of the effects and above all the automatic
call-up of the TXT files. The programming of a Registration does not entail any special menu with all the parameters and values available and
therefore they are to be modified from the single menus to which they belong. It is usually better to start-off from a default setting and then
set just the Style, the Voices and the other parameters without having to go through all the menus.
The Registrations, once programmed, are extremely useful when playing live, however it takes some time to initially program while at home.
When programming (and also when playing live), it could be necessary to establish which parameter will be recorded or otherwise in the
Registrations. It could indeed be useful to leave one or a number of parameters free or to disable the call-up function of the parameter status
when changing from one registration to another.
Each feature controlled or managed within a Registration can be enabled or disabled via the dedicated
RReeggiissttrraattiioonn mmeennuu
found in
UUttiilliittyy
. A
Register can be called up from a group of 198 registration locations saved in Flash RAM (Block Registration), or from individual registers that
reside on Floppy or Hard Disk (Single Registration).
The first 160 Blocks of Registrations can also be pulled-up using the Multi-Tabs and relative
BBLLOOCCKK RREEGGIISSTTRRAATTIIOONN
function.
The Block Registration and Single Registration parameters are absolutely identical, but their management is quite different:
For a Register in a Block Registration, all the 198 Registers have to be saved in one single BLOCK REGISTRATION file. You can have multiple BLOCK
REGISTRATION files on disk, each one made up of 198 independent registers. The Single Registration on the other hand is individual registers
always saved as single files on the floppy or on the hard disk.
While it is possible to display the Single registrations stored in Hard Disk or in Floppy Disk in a list, this feature is not possible with Block
Registrations, whose registers can only be called up by entering the number using the numeric keypad. It takes less time to load a register from
a Block Registration than that from a Single Registration. The Block Registrations are memorized even when the instrument is turned off, as
they are saved in Flash RAM.
CALLING UP AND SAVING A REGISTER OF THE BLOCK REGISTRATION GROUP
Make sure that Block Registration has been selected as the memory location from
which to load the Registers. For this purpose, from the main display page go to
FF33
UUttiilliittyy
and select (if not yet chosen) Block in
FF77 RReeggiissttrraattiioonn MMooddee
. The Block
Registration group stores 198 Registers in Flash RAM. Each Register can be selec-
ted by enabling the
RREEGG
. push button (the LED lights up) and then by entering the
corresponding 3-figure number using the numeric keypad (
SSTTYYLLEESS
push buttons).
The name of the Register called up will be displayed in bold print next to the num-
ber in the top left corner of the display.
PULL-UP A REGISTRATION OF THE BLOCK REGISTRATIONS USING THE MULTI-TABS
You can also pull-up the registrations using the
MMuullttii TTaabbss
of the SD5.
In this mode, you can split the various registrations into groups, each containing 16 registrations and activate them simply by pressing one of
the 16 dedicated Multi-tabs.
To activate this mode, select
BBLLOOCCKK RREEGGIISSTTRRAATTIIOONN
from the
MMOODDEE SSEELLEECCTT
menu of the Multi-tabs.
Press the Registration button. The display shows the 16 registrations belonging to the current group at the bottom.
Load the Registration required by simply pressing the related Multi-tab.
The current group of Registrations can be changed by pressing one of the ten
SSTTYYLLEE
buttons.
