The 9000Pro “Functions”i

Utility Settings

The explanations here apply to step #3 of the Basic Procedure on page 158.

■Configuration

●1, 2

Select this to display the system information of the 9000Pro.

This determines whether the MIDI bank select and program change numbers for each voice will be shown along with the voice number and name on the voice list display.

This determines whether all wave data that was in the wave RAM memory when the power was previously turned off will be automatically reloaded from disk when the 9000Pro power is turned on.

●3

This sets the metronome on or off during song playback.

This sets the metronome on or off during song recording.

This sets the volume of the 9000Pro metronome sound for recording.

This indicates the maximum number of notes currently being played. This can be useful in checking whether the maximum polyphony has been exceeded in songs or styles. The maximum value is 126 (the 9000Pro’s maximum polyphony).

Please note that the polyphony of the Plug-in Voices is not counted.

Press this to reset the Poly Counter to “0”.

Setting this to ON enables the 9000Pro to read data much faster from the floppy disk. This is done by use of built-in cache memory. When a floppy disk is inserted and this is set to ON, the 9000Pro automatically loads data to the cache memory (even when you play the keyboard, accompaniment, Multi Pads, etc.). All data is then read directly from the cache memory rather than the disk, vastly speeding up the reading of floppy disk data.

●4, 5

Select a parameter you want to lock or unlock.

This allows you to set the drum voice and the velocity which will sound when the Tap function (page 72) is used.

This function can be used to “lock” the specified parameters so that they can only be changed via the direct panel controls (i.e., not via the Registration Memory, One Touch Setting, Music Database, MIDI, sequence data, etc.).

Lock (mark) or unlock (un-mark) the selected parameter.
