System exclusive data - System exclusive data are manufacture and product specific -> MIDI data. They
transfer the sounds and system information between the same MIDI instruments or to and from a
sequencer for the purpose of data recording. The transfer of this data is called MIDI data dump.
Temporary memory - The temporary memory is a data buffer where the current changes are being
saved. After a - >program change in performance operation they are lost. Through the MIDI data dump
function in the Sirius, you can transfer and save the temporary memory.
Track mute - By listening or arranging a sequencer song you would like to silent certain parts at times to
be able to concentrate on the other tracks. The Sirius has several Mute functions that you can also use in
live action. The way to produce Techno excitement and breaks is purposely leaving in and taking out
single tracks and motives.
Transposing - When the transposing mode is turned on, you can change the pitch of the playback in the
range of one octave. In the Sirius, you can find the transpose mode in the edit-system menu. Transposing
during playback is called realtime transposing.
Trigger - Trigger is an impulse which can be used to create a function. For example, when you press a
key on the Sirius, you trigger the ->envelope of a sound.
Tuning - The tuning (tone frequency) defines the tone height of a sound. The higher the tone frequency
in cycles per second, the higher the tone.
Turn on static - When turning on an instrument, there can be a turn on static. Make sure that the
amplifier is turned on last to avoid a scratching sound.
VALUE/TEMPO-Dial - With the VALUE/TEMPO-Dial you can raise or lower the tempo of a song or
the value shown in the display. The dial has no end or starting point.
VCA - Voltage controlled Amplifier. The VCA is the internal amplifier of the synthesizers.
VCA-EG-MACRO ->envelope
VCA Level - The parameter "VCA level" controls the volume of a Sirius sound.
VCF - Voltage controlled filter. The VCF is one of the most important sound features in the synthesizer.-
> filter.
VCF-EG-MACRO - >envelope
VCO - Voltage controlled oscillator
Velocity - The volume and the sound can be controlled with the strength of the key strike.
