change of these Parameters may be necessary if you want to include the Sirius in a larger MIDI-Setup or you want to
customize it to your personal requirements.
Caution: Changes in the System-menu should only be made once you have read and understood the following
section. The explanations of the separate menu pages will always contain a reference to the factory settings. Should
your Sirius sound different or behave in any way unusually after changing these system parameters, you should
revert to the original factory settings.
You will get to the System menu as follows: Press the EDIT-key and select page 5 of the Edit-menu with the right
PAGE/BANK-key. The following selection will appear in the display:
Select Edit <5|
(Pads) (System)
Press the F3 key under the display to open the System-menu.
Menu-page 1 (Master-Transpose):
The first two menu-pages allow you to change the overall tuning of the Sirius. On page 1 you find the parameter called
Master-Transpose.
Edit System/Midi
|1> M.Transp: +0
This Parameter allows you to transpose the overall pitch of the Sirius by 6 semi-tones up or down. Live-keyboardists
will particularly appreciate this option in a situation when for instance the Guitarist wants to play everything in E again.
The factory setting is +0.
Menu-page 2 (Master-Tune):
On page 2 of the System-menu you find the parameter Master-Tune.
Edit System/Midi
<2> M.Tune: +0
Here you can fine tune the Sirius. If the value is set to +63 the Sirius will sound one semi-tone higher than normal. If
the value is set to -64 it will sound a semi-tone lower than normal. In most cases you can ignore this parameter because
the Sirius has the standard western tuning as a factory setting. ( ie. A = 440 Hz). The factory setting is +0.
Menu-page 3 (MIDI-Master-Channel):
The next Menu-page requires a bit more care as the MIDI-channel-allocation of the Sirius is being set.
The Parts of the Sirius have a fixed MIDI-channel allocation. For the factory setting (1) the Midichannel allocation is as
follows:
MIDI-Channel 1:
Kick
MIDI-Channel 2:
Snare
Hihat
MIDI-Channel 3:
Percussion
MIDI-Channel 4:
Synth 1
MIDI-Channel 5:
Synth 2
MIDI-Channel 6:
Synth 3
MIDI-Channel 7:
105
The Vocoder
