INDEX
Pitch - Sound height.
Pitch-Bend - Sound height bending. With the pitch bend wheel you can bend your played note up or
down, to give your playing more expression or to imitate natural instruments.
Polyphonic- An instrument which can play more than one note at once (chords etc.) is called
"polyphonic". The Sirius is 28 voiced polyphonic, you can play 28 voices at once.
Portamento - Portamento is the smooth gliding from one tone height to the next.
Potentiometer (Poti) - A turning knob for changing the sound parameters, volume, etc.
Program-change - MIDI-command to change the program and sounds of a MIDI-instrument. 128
different programs can be called with Program-change.- >Bank-change
Q-Factor - >Resonance
Release - The time for how long the sound is heard after the key on the keyboard is released. This is
determined by the ->Envelope.
Resonance - The resonance is a parameter, that determines the behaviour of a filter. By the resonance the
frequency area around the - > Cutoff frequency Is raised. If the resonance is very high, the filter can be
enabled to self-oscillate.
Reverb - Reverb is an effect algorithm in FX-1. Its used for the simulation of room capacity. The Sirius
imitates a country church to a Cathedral and a rubber room to a wash room.
ROM Sounds - ROM sounds are permanently stored in the Sirius and can not be erased or lost.
Routing - We understand routing as a flexible switching of different signals sources. When you adjust
the parameter ->FX send in the mixer , this part will be routed to an effect processor.
Sequence - A continuous replay of notes is called a "sequence".
Sequencer - Control unit for a synthesizer, which automatically plays back the played in or programmed
->Sequences.
Sub menu - The different changeable areas like - >FX-1, - >FX-2,- >Part, ->Arpeggiator and -
>System edit are divided into several sub menus depending on the number of parameters. The sub
menus can be selected with the PAGE/BANK-buttons.
Sustain - Sustain is described as the hold level for an ->envelope.
