Control panel and push button functions
The control panel is divided into sections according to the group of functions related to the push buttons. From left to right you will see the following:
VOLUME
Two rows of six push buttons that are used to control the general volume for the Drums, Bass, Chords, Orchestral, Lower and Right sec-
tions. The volume can be immediately muted by pressing the right-hand and left-hand VOLUME push buttons of that section together
at the same time. To restore the volume set prior to muting simply press one of the two VOLUME push buttons of the section once.
HOW TO MODIFY THE VOLUME OF THE RIGHT LEAD
To raise the volume, hold the right-hand RIGHT VOLUME push button down. To lower the volume, use the left-hand push button.
To Mute the sound totally press the two RIGHT VOLUME push buttons together at the same time wich sets it to “O”.
To restore the previous volume set press a RIGHT VOLUME push button.
PUSH BUTTONS ON THE CENTRAL LEFT-HAND AREA
There are seventeen push buttons on the central left-hand area of the control panel. All of these are provided with a LED which, when lit, points
out that the push button is enabled. They are used to gain access to menus controlling crucial functions. We have from left to right and from
the top to the bottom:
SONG RECORD This enables the sequencer in registration mode and makes it possible to record everything played on the DG100, from
the styles to calling up the Voices.
SONG PLAY This enables the sequencer in reproduction mode. It is also used to call up Midi file chains, to display the words and to
transpose the whole Midi file.
PATTERN EDIT This is used to call up the menus for programming and modifying the style.
SEQUENCER This is used to gain access to a complete sequencer with various editing functions.
GRAND PIANO This is used to instantly call up the sound of the Grand Piano on the complete extension of the keyboard.
MASTER FOLDER
When the LED is lit the hard disk utilises the Master Folder function to simplify and automate the reading and writing of any type of file.
SINGLE REGISTR.
When the LED is lit the single Registrations stored on hard or floppy disk are called up.
SAMPLER MPS This is used to call up the menus and the functions of the built-in sampler with the relative editing functions.
DISK This is used to gain access to the management functions both on floppy disk and built-in hard disk.
When the DISK LED is lit the PAGE + and PAGE – push buttons can be used to select the hard disk or the floppy disk.
ROTOR When the LED is lit it enables the Leslie ® effect (rotary speaker) as used with the electro-magnetic organs for the
typical Hammond sounds!
MANUAL BASS When the LED is lit the bass part of the style can be played manually.
SPLIT This enables the choice of the split point of the keyboard that splits the lead section (Right) on the right from that dedi-
cated to the Arranger and to the manual accompaniment parts (Lower and Manual Bass) to its left. To set the split point,
hold the SPLIT push button down and play the note on the keyboard that represents the split point. The default split
point is set as note C3. To play the right-hand lead voice over the whole keyboard press the SPLIT push button and then
the lowest key of the keyboard at the left end (E0).
BLOCK/LIST RAM STYLE
This is used to instantaneously display the list of styles stored on hard disk from which one or a number of styles can
be loaded in RAM. The push button can be enabled only if the MASTER FOLDER push button LED is already lit.
