GETTING READY

1J ACCESSING DYNAMICS (SET-UP 14)

Yes, the harder you hit the buttons the louder the sound. We did this in such an incredibly ingenious way that engineers across the country will burst out laughing when they take the SP-12 apart for the first time.

1.Activate the SET-UP Module by pressing its switch. Its LED will glow, and the display will ask for a function from the list printed to the right of the SET-UP switch.

2.Key in 111 (DYNAMIC BUTTONS). The display asks whether you want dynamic buttons or not; press YES if you do.

3.Hit the buttons to check out the dynamics.

All buttons for all banks are now dynamically responsive. To turn off dynamics, select Function 1k in the SET-UP module and when the display asks “Dynamic Buttons?”, press NO.

1K STORING (DEFINING) A MIX (SET-UP 15)

The SP-12 memorizes up to eight different mixes; each mix contains the level data for all four banks. When creating a song, this mix information can be stored as part of the song so that different songs (or different sections of the same song) have different mixes. To store a mix for later use:

1.After perfecting the mix, activate the SET-UP Module by pressing its switch. Its LED will glow, and the display will ask for a function from the list printed to the right of the SET-UP switch.

2.Key in 15 (DEFINE MIX). The display will ask “Save Current Mix As Mix #“. Assign a number from 1 to 8 (do not include leading zeroes in this case); when the display confirms your choice, press ENTER.

We will describe how to audition a particular mix in the next Section; in Section 3G, we’ll cover how to select the desired mix when creating a song.

Note that channel assignments (Section 1M) and pitch/decay information (Section 1F) are also stored with the mix, thereby allowing programmed channel changes and pitch/decay changes.
