Introduction

Main features

1. Analog modeling system

The MS2000/MS2000R provides eight types of oscillator algorithms, including waveforms of analog synthesizers, and places the most important sound parameters on the front panel so that you can modify sounds as you play or perform a variety of realtime editing, with the same ease of operation as on an analog synthesizer.

2. 128 programs

The MS2000/MS2000R contains a total of 128 programs, with 16 each in banks A–H.

3. Virtual Patch function

Not only EG and LFO, but also velocity and keyboard track- ing can be used as modulation sources, and assigned to parameters that make up the sound, giving you even more freedom to create sounds.

4. MOD SEQUENCE

MOD SEQUENCE is a step sequencer that lets you apply time-varying change to sound parameters in a way similar to analog synthesizers of the past.

5.External input waveforms can be pro- cessed

A waveform input from the AUDIO IN 1, 2 jacks can be pro- cessed in the same way as the internal waveforms.

6. Vocoder function

If a mic is connected to the AUDIO IN 2 jack, the MS2000/ MS2000R can be used as a four voice vocoder.

In addition to using two 16-bank filter sets to simulate the vocoder sounds of classic equipment, you can create original vocoder sounds by shifting the filter frequency, or adjusting the level and pan of individual frequency bands.

7. Arpeggiator

The MS2000/MS2000R provides an arpeggiator that allows you to produce arpeggios simply by holding down a chord. You can choose from six arpeggio types, and also specify the duration and spacing of the arpeggiated notes.

Modes

The MS2000/MS2000R has the following three modes.

Program Play mode

A01:MS2000/R

Single =120

In this mode you can select and play a program (sound). As you play, you can use the front panel knobs and keys to modify the sound and change the parameter values.

You can also use the arpeggiator and MOD SEQUENCE for additional performance possibilities.

LCD Edit mode

01A COMMON

Mode: Split

In this mode you can view parameter values in the LCD screen and edit them.

Access this mode when you wish to edit parameters that do not correspond to any knob or key on the front panel, or when you wish to make detailed adjustments to a parameter value.

Global mode

1A GLOBAL

Mst.Tune:440.0Hz

In Global mode you can make the following settings.

•Adjust the tuning and edit user scale data

•Specify the functions of the assignable pedal and assign- able switch

•Transmit a MIDI exclusive data dump

•Set MIDI and other parameters for the entire the
