43 Playing and editing Programs What’ s a Program? Programs ar e the basic sounds of the OASYS. Y ou can play them by themselves, layer them together in Combinations, or play a differ ent Program on each of the 16 MIDI tracks, either from the internal sequencer or from external computer -based sequencers.
Playing and editing Programs 44 Using the front-panel buttons 1. Make sure that the PROGRAM button, under MODE, is lit. This means that you’re in Pr ogram mode, in which you can select and edit Programs. If the button isn’t lit, press it now; it will light up, and the main Pr ogram Play page will appear .
Using Controllers 45 Using a footswitch to select Programs Y ou can assign a footswitch to step through Pr ograms one by one, either going up (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) or going down (3, 2, 1 etc.). This lets you change Programs without using your hands–great for quick Pr ogram changes in live performance situations.
Playing and editing Programs 46 Joystick Lock The joystick is spring-loaded, so that it automatically returns to the center position when you let go. However , you can use either of the two front-panel switches (SW1 or SW2), or a foot-switch, to “lock” the current position of the joystick.
Using Controllers 47 The sound will remain as it was when you last touched the ribbon. 4. Press the SW2 key once again to release the Lock function. 5.
Playing and editing Programs 48 Keyboard V elocity V elocity is a measure of how hard you play a note on the keyboard. This can be used to modulate many differ ent aspects of the sound, such as volume, brightness, or the character of the attack.
Using Chord mode 49 Assigning notes and chords to pads Y ou can assign single notes and chords to the pads in three dif ferent ways. Play the notes, and then press CHORD ASSIGN 1. Play a single note, or a chord of up to 8 notes. 2. Press the CHORD ASSIGN button.
Playing and editing Programs 50 Chord Switch The Chord Switch (abbr eviated Chord SW ) lets you turn Chord mode on and of f via SW1/2 or the Foot Switch. Important: Programs will only r espond to the Chord SW if their Chord parameter has been set to either Basic or Advanced .
Quick Edits using the Sliders, Knobs and Switches 51 Y ou can achieve the same effect as Basic , above, by setting Chord to Advanced , V oice Assign to Mono , Priority to Last Note , and Legato to Off . Creating and editing chords Chords ar e assigned to the Pads, stored, and edited as described under “Drum & Chord Pads” on page 48.
Playing and editing Programs 52 TONE ADJUST gives you hands-on access to more detailed sound editing, using the sliders, knobs, and switches. Adjusting volume, Pan, EQ, and FX sends In TIMBRE/TRACK mode, the Control Surface puts all of the basic mixing controls under your fingertips.
Quick Edits using the Sliders, Knobs and Switches 53 7. While holding RESET CONTROLS, move fi rst knob 1, and then knob 2. As you move the knobs, their values will be reset to the default, center positions. 8. Release the RESET CONTROLS button. Now , you’re back to the original electric piano sound.
Playing and editing Programs 54 A popup window will appear , with a long list of parameters. Y ou can tell various things about the selections, just from the way they appear in the list: • Parameters which affect only OSC1 or OSC2 are prefixed with [OSC1] and [OSC2], respectively.
Detailed Editing with HD-1 Programs 55 Over view of editing pages P0: Play is where you select and play pr ograms, make quick edits using the Control Surface, and adjust the KARMA settings. The other pages let you modify the sound in more detailed ways.
Playing and editing Programs 56 • All of the tabs on the Amp page, except for EQ • All of the tabs on the LFO page, except for Common LFO • The AMS Mixer tabs Y ou can use the page menu’s Copy Oscillator command to copy these parameters from one Oscillator to another .
Using LFOs and Envelopes (EGs) 57 Notice that the graphic now shows the two ranges tapering into one another . Between 80 and 100, MS2 will fade out, and MS1 will fade in, creating a gradual velocity transition instead of a hard split. 12.If you like, adjust the Levels for the two Multisamples.
Playing and editing Programs 58 EGs (Envelope Generators) An envelope creates a modulation signal by moving from one level to another over a specified time, and then moving to another level over another period of time, and so on. The HD-1 includes three EGs, for Pitch, Filter , and Amp.
Controlling Pitch 59 AMS Mixer Amt AxB example Smoothing The Smoothing T ype smooths out the AMS input, creating mor e gentle transitions between values. Y ou have separate control of the amount of smoothing during the attack (when the signal is increasing) and decay (when it’s decreasing).
Playing and editing Programs 60 Pitch EG When the Intensity value is set to +12.00 , the pitch EG specified in the Pitch EG page will produce a maximum of ±1 octave of pitch change.
Using Filters 61 frequencies, its ef fect can change dramatically depending on the cutoff setting and the oscillator ’s multisample. W ith low resonance settings, you can use the Band Pass filter to create telephone or vintage phonograph sounds. W ith higher resonance settings, it can cr eate buzzy or nasal timbres.
Playing and editing Programs 62 LFO modulation Y ou can modulate the filter via LFO1, LFO2, and the Common LFO. Among other applications, LFO modulation of the filter can produce the classic “auto- wah” effect.
Using the Amp section 63 Pan Pan The main Pan parameter controls the ster eo position after the signal has passed through the oscillator , filter , and amp. Normally you’ll set this to C064 , so that the sound is centered equally between the left and right speakers.
Playing and editing Programs 64 Drive The Drive circuit adds saturation and over drive to the sound, for everything from subtle fattening to drastic distortion. Unlike an overdrive ef fect, Drive processes each voice individually , so the timbre stays the same regar dless of how many voices are being played.
Effects 65 V ector and MIDI The V ector features interact with MIDI in two differ ent ways: through the V ector Joystick, and through the V ector CC Control. The V ector Joystick sends and receives two MIDI controllers: one for the X axis, and the other for the Y axis.
Playing and editing Programs 66 Automatically impor ting a Program into Sequence mode The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current Program or Combination into a Song, and then puts the OASYS in recor d-ready mode. If inspiration for a phrase or song strikes you while you’re playing, you can use this function to start recor ding immediately .
67 Playing and editing Combinations What’ s a Combination? Combinations, or “Combis” for short, let you split and layer up to 16 Programs at once. A Combi is made up of 16 T imbres. Each T imbre has a Program, along with parameters for key and velocity zones, mixer settings, MIDI channel and controller filtering, and so on.
Playing and editing Combinations 68 Combination structure and corr esponding pages Selecting Combinations There ar e several different ways to select Combinations.
