Initialization - If you initialize, you delete all the data of the Sirius' internal memory. All the parameters
are set to "factory standard".
Keyboard-Combo - Amplifier with built-in speakers.
LFO=Low Frequency Oscillator - A LFO offers various waveforms which can be used to modulate the
volume, ->pitch or ->Cutoff frequency of a synthesizer.
Loop - a musical theme permanently repeated.
MIDI=Musical Instrument Digital Interface - Enables the communication between electronic
instruments of different manufacturers. Only digital data concerning the played notes or the adjustments
of an instrument are transferred, not the audible music itself. The data includes note information,
controller information and -> system exclusive data.
Two MIDI-devices have to communicate on the same MIDI-Channels. MIDI-Multimode describes the
skill to recognize more than one MIDI-channel at once. The Sirius can communicate on 7 channels at
once, so it can be seen as 7 independent synthesizers. For details see chapter "The Sirius and MIDI".
MIDI-Controller - Midi data used for changing or modulating the sound. For the Sirius, all sound
parameters can be controlled via MIDI-Controllers.
MIDI-Data-Dump - A MIDI-Data-Dump is a transfer of synthesizer settings through the MIDI
Interface. The transfer is done through -> System-Exclusive data
MIDI-In - Connector for receiving MIDI data. Connect for example the MIDI-Output of your Sirius to
the MIDI-In of your computer sequencer in order to transfer data into the sequencer from the Sirius.
MIDI-Channel - There are 16 Midi-Channels, so that you can address up to 16 instruments on only one
Midi-Cable. In the -> MIDI-Polymode, each instrument has it's own -> receive-channel and reacts only
on notes and controllers on this channel. (additionally see ->MIDI-Multi-Mode, -
>MIDI-Omni-Mode)
MIDI-Master-Channel - The MIDI-Master-Channel has two meanings. It is the ->ID-Number when
transferring ->System-Exclusive data and it is the first of the 7 Sirius instrument channels.
MIDI-Merger - A MIDI-Merger is able to mix two digital MIDI-Outputs for one MIDI-In.
MIDI-Multi-Mode - A synthesizer with MIDI-Multi-Mode is independently able to react to more than
one ->MIDI-Channel at once. Meaning: A synthesizer with this feature acts like several independent
instruments (Sirius: 7 channels=7 instruments).
MIDI-Omni-Mode - In MIDI-Omni-Mode, the MIDI-Channel information is ignored. Only one
instrument can be played through one MIDI-Cable. This can be found mainly with old synthesizers.
