4) ext to “INT,” enter the desired destination for the Tone you are loading. N
NOTE: If you select a destination Tone that is not empty, the Wave data for the current Tone will be replaced
by the Wave data for the Tone you are loading. Any Sub Tone that uses Wave data of the previous Tone will
be deleted, becoming an empty Tone (see Section III for more information regarding Sub Tones).
5) Press SHIFT to open the command window.
6) Press ENTER to begin loading the Tone. “NOW LOADING” will be displayed on the Message Line. When the
S-50 has finished loading the Tone, “COMPLETE” will be displayed on the Message Line.
Creating a Patch
Use the following procedure to create a Patch with one or more Tones assigned to the keyboard:
1) Load the desired Tone or Tones into the S-50’s memory (as described previously).
2) Use the PATCH SELECTOR buttons to select an empty Patch location.
3) Press EDIT MODE followed by P2 to select “Split.” The Split Info page will be displayed.
4) CURSOR to 1st Tone and use the ALPHA DIAL to select the Tone you wish to assign to the keyboard.
5) Press +PAGE to display the Split Set page.
6) Press the desired key(s) you wish to use to trigger the selected Tone. A marker will be displayed on the line
just above the keyboard graphic on your screen. This indicates the key (or keys) where the Tone has been
assigned.
7) Press -PAGE to return to the Split Info page. Play the keyboard to audition your settings.
8) Repeat steps 4-6 above to assign additional Tones to the keyboard as desired for your Patch.
9) Press P1 to display the Patch PRM page. Use the CURSOR buttons and ALPHA DIAL to set values for
parameters 5-10 as desired before naming and saving your Patch.
NOTE: When creating a Patch using the V-SW, X-Fade or V-Mix modes, use the CURSOR buttons and
ALPHA DIAL to select values for parameters 1-10 on the Patch PRM page and select two Tones in step
#4 above - one to be assigned to 1st Tone, and one to 2nd Tone.
III. Creating Sub Tones
Sub Tones are used by the S-50 to conserve memory. A Sub Tone allows you to share the same sample data
between two different Tones. You can edit sample information on a Sub Tone without affecting the original
Tone. Since Sub Tones read the waveform data of an original Tone, the original waveform must be in memory
along with the Sub Tone. Use the following procedure to create a Sub Tone:
1) Load the desired Tone(s) into the S-50’s memory (as described previously).
2) Press EDIT MODE followed by P3 to display the Tone PRM page.
3) Use the ALPHA DIAL to select an empty Tone location.
4) CURSOR to Original Tone and use the ALPHA DIAL to select an Original Tone containing the waveform data
that you wish to use. A number at the top of the Tone PRM page will be displayed next to “Sub.” This number
refers to the number of the original Tone for which the Sub Tone is borrowing its waveform data.
You have now created a Sub Tone. You can edit, name, and use the Sub Tone in any Patch as long as the
original Tone is in the memory of the S-50.
IV. Sampling
The steps below provide a basic set of instructions for sampling a sound with the S-50. Information on how to
loop a sample, and other sample editing processes can be found in the S-50 Owner’s Manual beginning on page
50.
1) Connect the output of your sound source to the Input Jack on the back of the S-50.
2) Set the GAIN knob on the back of the S-50 to MIC or LINE (depending on the source signal).
3) Press REC MODE followed by -PAGE (if necessary) to access the Record SEL page.
4) Use the ALPHA DIAL to select an empty Tone location.
5) Press +PAGE to display the SET page.
6) Use the CURSOR buttons and ALPHA DIAL to select a Wave Bank (A or B), sampling Frequency (15kz or
30kz), and the length of Time (0.4 - 3.6) for the sample to be recorded. Your choices should be based on the
