E-Synth Keyboard
Introduction
E-Synth is a special purpose sound computer and like all computers it can be thought of as having two main components: 1. The physical machine that contains the buttons, display and generates the sounds and; 2. The computer program that tells the hardware what to do. E-Synth software is called EOS (for Emulator Operating System) and is used on several other E-mu products, including the E-IV, e-64, E4X and E-6400. This manual describes the electrical connections and physical hardware of the E-mu E-Synth Sampling Synthesis Controller. The EOS software manual contains detailed operating instructions for the software.
Important Upgrade information

E-Synth is a software-based device. The features and functions of E-Synth are periodically enhanced and upgraded. Please take a moment now to read the E-mu Systems Warranty and to fill out and send in your warranty registration card. We NEED your mailing address in order to keep you advised of upgrades and manual revisions.
E-Synth Keyboard
E-Synth was designed to be the ultimate in professional synthesizers. The features of E-Synth expand the state-of-theart in performance instrument design, from ease of use to the impeccable audio specifications. For starters, E-Synth contains an incredible 64 channels of polyphony that is expandable to 128 channels. E-Synth comes loaded with a 16 MB collection of ROM sounds and 4 MB of sample RAM for your own sampled sounds. Sample memory is userexpandable up to 64 megabytes with standard SIMM modules (up to 128 MB if ROM access is disabled). With fully expanded memory, E-Synth provides over 24 minutes of sampling time!
General Instructions
Performance Features
The 76 note (6 octave) keyboard on E-Synth is slightly weighted for a responsive feel and responds to velocity and pressure. Four real time control sliders are integrated into each of the factory sounds to control the most useful aspects of timbre according to the nature of each preset. The realtime control sliders can be easily reprogrammed to control any parameter on E-Synth. In addition to the standard pitch and mod wheels, a new Thumby button puts a control switch at your thumb tip. The Thumby button is quite handy for controlling such things as rotating speaker speed, timbre or any other programmable function on E-Synth.
Sound Libraries
E-Synth has full access to the huge library of sounds available from E-mu and many other sources. It is fully compatible with the legendary E-IV, e-64, EIII, EIIIX and ESI-32, ESI-4000, E-6400, and E4X libraries, and transparently reads Emax II, Akai S1000/S1100 and Roland S-700 series banks without awkward conversion routines.
Superior Sampling
E-Synth contains 16 MB of on-board ROM samples and 4 MB of sample RAM to store your own samples. Sample RAM can be expanded up to 64 MB, using standard SIMM modules, providing up to 24 minutes of sampling time! (You can expand the Sample RAM up to 128 MB if you disable the ROM.) E-Synth has selectable sample rates of 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz. D/A converters are 18-bit linear for wide dynamic range with multiple channels. The Sigma-Delta A/D converters are 16-bit linear and sampling can be performed in either mono or true stereo.
Built-in Digital Effects

E-Synth incorporates a high quality internal effects processor to add stereo reverb and chorus effects while keeping the sound in the digital domain. 76 different effects are currently implemented. There are several controllable parameters for each effect. You can assign any real-time control to these parameters in performance. Sounds with effects applied are easily resampled and then saved as an entirely new sound, with ambience and effects included.

Digital Hardware Features

Filtering! The E-Synth's digital hardware implements up to 64 analog-sounding Z-plane filters representing many different types of filters including: lowpass, bandpass, highpass, equalizers, vocal formant, morphing and more. Resampling! E-Synth can resample its own output in the digital domain for layering and the creation of new and exciting effects. Transposition! E-Synth is based on the latest G-chip and H-chip digital hardware. The G-chip allows smooth sample transposition over a wide range while the H-chip filters retain the warm, musical character of traditional analog filters. E-Synth is an extremely powerful and reliable ninth generation instrument. We at E-mu Systems sincerely hope it will help you to realize and further your musical dreams.
Available Upgrades for E-Synth

E-Synth contain a hardware upgrade port on the rear panel to allow for further expansion. Expansion upgrades include: 6310 - 32 MIDI Channel Expander upgrade adds another MIDI Input and Thru port to give E-Synth 32 MIDI channel capability. 6910 - 128 Voice Expander upgrade adds 64 additional voices to a standard E-Synth, bringing the total to 128. Note: This card is installed internally. 6911 - Hard Drive Kit upgrade provides the hardware required to install an internal hard disk into the unit. 6825 - 8MB Flash ROM Memory upgrade adds an additional 8 megabytes of Flash ROM to a standard E-Synth. 6826 - 16MB Flash ROM Memory upgrade adds an additional 16 megabytes of Flash ROM to a standard E-Synth. Note: This upgrade is installed internally.

Tip: The Lock key can be used to set the current rank of ten Bookmarks in SoundSprint mode. Press and Hold the Lock key and select a number to change the rank.
Entering Data
The numeric keys can be used anytime the data to be entered is a number, such as selecting samples and presets when you know the exact number. You could simply enter the number without the leading zero as in 10, In this case, after entering the number, you will be asked to confirm the value by pressing Go. The +/- key can be used to indicate if the value is positive or negative. The numeric keys can also be used for naming as some of the keys are labeled telephone-style with 3 characters above the key.
Inc/Dec Keys
The Increment and Decrement keys are used to duplicate the function of the data entry control when a you require a finer degree of control. In the preset selection screen the Inc/Dec keys are used to select the previous or next preset.
Data Entry Control

The Data Entry Control is a stepped, variable control used to change parameter values. The control increases or decreases the current value one unit each click. This control incorporates acceleration (values advance faster if the control is turned quickly).
Tip: Holding down the Enter key while turning the data entry control allows fine tuning of the value by one number per click.
Floppy Disk Drive

The floppy disk drive is used to update E-Synth software and used to store and transfer sound banks in a pinch. Due to the low capacity of floppy disks, they are not practical for backing up sound data. However, floppy disks are very useful for storing MIDI sequence files and one floppy disk can store many sequences.

Caution: Be careful when connecting a computer running Windows 95 to the SCSI bus. On occasion it has overwritten the boot sector on disks connected to the bus. Please call for additional information.
SCSI is a high-speed parallel interface normally used to connect E-Synth with external mass storage devices such as hard disks or magneto-optical discs. The dual 50-pin SCSI ports can also be used to link E-Synth with an external computer for extremely fast file transfers. E-Synth contains advanced SCSI links to facilitate multiple master devices on the SCSI bus such as multiple E-Synths or a computer and an E-Synth. For more information on SCSI installation, refer to the EOS Manual and to the manual that accompanies your external SCSI device.
18
E-Synth Keyboard
MIDI Connection
E-Synth provides a MIDI IN, a MIDI OUT and a MIDI THRU port. The MIDI IN port connects to the MIDI OUT port of an external MIDI controller such as a keyboard, a sequencer, or MIDI drum kit. Note that E-Synth can respond only to information that your controller transmits. For example, if an external MIDI keyboard does not have velocity and pressure sensitivity, E-Synth will not respond to velocity and pressure. MIDI OUT connects E-Synth to another MIDI instrument or computer. The MIDI OUT jack transmits all keyboard controller and preset change information to a sequencer or additional instruments and can be used to transfer MIDI sample dump information (transfers sample data). MIDI THRU simply re-transmits any information received at the MIDI IN port.
Upgrade Port
The Upgrade Port lets you add additional hardware upgrades. One such upgrade is a MIDI expander card which adds an additional 16 MIDI channels. Other upgrade cards will be announced as they are developed.
S/PDIF Digital Interface

The digital interface allows E-Synth to transfer digital audio back and forth with other digital devices equipped with S/PDIF or AES/EBU digital I/O. When possible, keep the signal in the digital domain to retain the highest possible the signal to noise level. The digital input lets you sample directly from a DAT recorder or other digital device. The digital output reflects the data at the stereo outputs of E-Synth. See the Sample Manage module and Output Format (located under Output in the Master menu) for more information.
AC Power Connection
E-Synth may be used in environments ranging from 100 volts to 240 volts at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. No change of voltage settings is required. E-Synth automatically switches itself for the proper line voltage.
19
ASCII Keyboard Interface

The back panel of E-Synth contains a connector to which you can attach a standard IBM PC style ASCII keyboard. When attached, all of the front panel controls can be accessed using the keyboard. A keyboard is a real time saver when naming samples, presets, banks and sequences. The keyboard functions are charted below.

E-Synth Keyboard
Footswitch Inputs
The footswitches can be routed to control any parameter on E-Synth through the Preset Edit, Cords menu. The two control footswitch jacks accept either a normallyopen or normally-closed, momentary contact footswitch. The footswitch polarity is automatically sensed when you power-up the keyboard. Additionally, a MIDI footswitch command on the controller channels (programmed in the Master, MIDI menu) is transmitted from the MIDI Out port whenever a footswitch is pressed.
Footpedal Input
You can use a control footpedal as a real-time performance control in the same manner as the front panel real-time faders or the control wheels. The pedal can be routed to any parameter in the Preset Edit, Cords menu. Additionally, a MIDI continuous controller message, on the controller channel programmed in the Master, MIDI menu, will be transmitted from the MIDI Out port whenever the footpedal is moved.
Pedal Ring Tip Gnd

Sample Inputs
PEDAL WIRING
Stereo Plug
Note: The footpedal can be either a voltage type (which outputs a DC voltage from 0-5 volts at the tip of the plug) or a resistance type (see the diagram at right).
The two electronically balanced sample input jacks accept any level input, from microphone to line level. Input impedance is 10K. The gain of the sample input preamplifiers is controlled from the New screen in the Sample Manage module. When in the Sample Manage module, the sample inputs can be monitored from the main outputs.
Tip: Use a stereo plug if you want the sample inputs to be balanced (tip -, ring +).
Main Outputs
E-Synth has provisions for a variety of output connection schemes with the most common using the main stereo outputs. The electronically balanced Main Outputs are available with 1/4" stereo phone jacks. Output level is -2 dBu. Output impedance is 1K ohm.
21
Submix Outputs
Tip: Inserting a phone plug halfway into a sub out jack sums it into the main output. This is a handy trick when you need one or two more mixer inputs.
In addition to the Main stereo outputs, there are three pairs of unbalanced Submix outputs which can be used when you want individual processing on specific instruments. You can program any combination of MIDI channels or assign any voice to appear at a submix output pair. Voices are assigned in the Amplifier screen of the Preset Edit module. MIDI channels can be assigned to the submix pair in the Multimode screen. The Submix Outputs are all stereo jacks. The tip of each jack (accessed when a standard phone plug is inserted) connects to the left or right output. If a stereo plug is inserted, the Ring of the stereo plug serves as a signal Return which sums to the main outputs after the effects processors. This allows the Submix jacks to serve as effects sends/ returns in order to further process selected voices or channels without using the effect sends on your mixer. The submix outputs are stereo jacks with -2 dBu outputs on the tip of the jack. Impedance is 1K ohm.

E-Synth Keyboard
Disk Drive Upgrades
Internal Drives
A disk drive is a memory storage device that stores banks of data. The floppy drive on E-Synth is used to update the operating system software. (The operating system of a computer consists of the instructions that tell the computer what to do.) It is also ideal for transferring sequences to and from a computer-based sequencer. Because of E-Synth's large bank size (4-128 MB), a floppy disk is impractical for backing up sound data. A floppy disk can be used to save or transfer small sound banks and sequences. Other types of disk drives, as described below, connect to E-Synth to provide efficient sound storage. Floppy Disk Drive (Drive 8): The floppy disk drive accommodates 3.5", double-sided, high-density (1.4 MB) floppy disks. The floppy drive is mainly used to update the operating system software. As new enhancements are developed, the new software is distributed on floppy disks. This software can be copied into Flash RAM and made a permanent part of E-Synth. To Update the Software of E-Synth 1) Turn off power to E-Synth 2) Insert the floppy disk into the drive with the label side up. 3) Turn on power. 4) Press Enter to update or Exit to cancel. 5) Wait for E-Synth to update its firmware. Internal Hard Disk Drive (Optional): An internal hard disk provides the advantages of much higher memory capacity and far faster access time. However, an internal hard disk cannot be removed and its data must be backed up to another medium for safekeeping. Use the optional Hard Disk Upgrade Kit for installation.
23
External Drives
Tip: Use the Mount Drives utility (Disk Utilities, F1) whenever an external SCSI device does not appear in the display.
E-Synth contains a SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) connector on the rear panel. This interface is commonly used in the computer industry, therefore, many devices made to work with computersparticularly mass storage devicesalso work with E-Synth. Here are some of the types of mass storage devices that can plug into the SCSI connectors. Hard Disk Drive: A hard disk provides the advantages of much higher memory capacity and far faster access time. Transferring data to and from E-Synth is quite straightforward. However, you cannot remove a hard disk and replace it with another onethe disk is a permanent part of the drive. There are three main cautions involved with hard disks: 1. Hard disks are sensitive to extreme mechanical shocks. If your hard disk falls off a keyboard stand, chances are the hard disk will be damaged. 2. Make sure power is not interrupted when you write data to the hard disk. 3. Hard disks have reached a very high level of reliability. However, they can fail from time to time (as can any part of a computer), so any data should be backed up periodically on some other medium. Removable-media Hard Disk Drives: These are similar to normal hard disk drives except that the disk itself can be removed and replaced with another disk. Disk densities can range from 44 Mbytes to well over 1 Gigabyte per platter. Removable-media hard disk drives allow you to build a sound library of unlimited size and are quite handy for transferring sounds between machines. Theyre also perfect for backups. CD-ROM Drive: A CD-ROM is a playback-only (data cannot be written to it) mass storage memory device whose capacity is approximately 660 Megabytes. Quality CD-ROM libraries are available from several companies (E-mu Sound Central, InVision, Northstar, Q-Up Arts). These can be loaded into the bank as easily as you would load from a hard disk.
24
E-Synth Keyboard
Magneto-Optical Drive: Basically a read/writable CD, these high speed, high density storage devices are great for storing large amounts of sound data. Typically a magnetooptical drive can hold upwards of 300 Mb per side and the removable cartridges can be used over and over. Disk access time is comparable to a normal hard disk. Advantages: High-speed, high-density, reliable, removable. Disadvantage: Slower than most hard disks.
To Connect E-Synth to an Unformatted External SCSI Device

1. Important: Make sure that all power to E-Synth and the SCSI device is turned OFF. 2. Position the external hard disk and E-Synth in a stable location. Hard disk drives are particularly susceptible to shock and vibration. Make sure that you position your hard disk where it wont be bumped or moved while in use. 3. Connect the SCSI device to your E-Synth using a quality SCSI cable. Make sure that the connectors are firmly mated and that the wire keepers are locked in place. There are two type of SCSI cables in common use: the 50-pin Centronics type and the 25-pin DB connector type. E-Synth uses the 50-pin Centronics type connector. If your drive has another type of connector, such as SCSI-2, you can use an adapter. 4. Set the SCSI ID of your external SCSI drive to any number other than 1 or 6. (1 is the ID of the internal drive; 6 is the default ID of E-Synth). For instructions on how to change the SCSI ID on your external device, refer to the manual that came with the device. 5. Turn on the external SCSI device and E-Synth. 6. Make sure your hard disk really is unformatted (or, if previously used, that you no longer need the data. Formatting a hard disk erases all the data on it.). To see if the disk is unformatted, press the Disk button. If the display does not show the external hard disk icon, the hard disk may be unformatted. Try mounting the drives (Utilities, in the Disk Browser). Also check that the SCSI ID is not set to 6 (E-Synth's default).
Caution: ALWAYS use high quality SCSI cables. Bad SCSI cables is the leading cause of problems using SCSI devices.
Tip: The ID numbers of all connected drives are shown in the Disk Browser.
25
7. Format the hard disk. While in the Disk Browser, press the soft key Utils. A new line of upgrades will appear. 8. Select Format. The display will warn that formatting erases everything on the hard disk. Press the OK soft key to continue. 9. E-Synth begins to format the hard disk drive. Formatting time will vary depending of the capacity of the disk. 10. After formatting, the hard disk icon appears in the disk browser and is now ready to accept data. Use the left/ right cursor keys or the data entry control to select the newly formatted hard drive. Use the function key under Info to get information about the new drive.
To Connect E-Synth to a Formatted External SCSI Hard Disk

Tip: If the hard disk is already formatted with another file system, you can use the Format function instead of the time consuming LL Format. See Disk Utilities.
E-Synth will recognize and load from SCSI devices formatted for E-IV, E4X, E-6400, EIIIX, EIII, Emax II, ESI-32, ESI-4000, Roland S700 and Akai S1000/S1100. 1. Important: Make sure that all power to E-Synth and the SCSI device is turned OFF before you connect or disconnect the SCSI cable. 2. Position the SCSI device and E-Synth in a stable location. 3. Connect the SCSI device to your E-Synth using a quality SCSI cable. Make sure that the connectors are firmly mated and that the wire keepers are locked in place. E-Synth uses a 50-pin Centronics type connector. 4. Set the SCSI ID of your external SCSI device to any number other than 6. (6 is the default ID of E-Synth, although this number is user selectable. Master, Misc). Consult the operation manual of your SCSI device for this procedure. 5. Turn on the external SCSI device and E-Synth. 6. The SCSI device will appear as a new icon in the disk browser screen.
Caution: Do not perform a low level format procedure on Iomega Zip drives. Doing so will erase the Iomega proprietary formatting.

About Sampling
Percussive Voice Each vertical line represents a sample. Each sample takes a "snapshot" of the instantaneous signal level.
1 second
Conceptually, E-Synth is like a tape recorder. However, the recording process is very different since E-Synth digitally records into its computer memory. Sounds for E-Synth can be loaded via removable-media hard disk, magneto-optical disk or CD-ROM using the SCSI interface; or they can be sampled through the analog inputs or the S/PDIF digital interface; or even through the MIDI interface using MIDI Sample Dump or SMDI. Computers accept information in the form of numbers, so E-Synth accepts audio signals coded into binary numbers. Samplers work by examining (sampling) the incoming signal level at a very high rate (44,100 times a second for compact disc rate) and sequentially recording these different levels in memory. Once stored, these samples may be played back (in the proper sequence, of course) to reconstruct the original signal. For instance, if a two-second sound were being sampled at 44.1 kHz, it would require 2 x 44,100 or 88,200 samples to be recorded.
27
You can manipulate a sound once it has been recorded. Playing back the samples in reverse order from which they were stored plays the sound backwards. Playing back the samples at a faster rate than the rate at which they were stored raises the pitch. Playing back at a slower rate lowers the pitch, much like a tape recorders variable speed control. Advanced onboard sample editing processors such as Time Compression/Expansion and Doppler allow you to manipulate the sound in both time and audio space. Other processors provide standard studio functions such as parametric equalization, compression and exciter. Far more radical transformations are possible using our exclusive Transform Multiplication process. Sounds can also be manipulated in real-time by filtering or by modulating amplitude and pitch.

Mod Proc
The modular analog synthesizers of yesteryear were incredibly flexible. This flexibility, in part, was because the different functions could be connected together in any possible way. E-mu's exclusive Digital Modular Synthesis (DMS) is designed according to this modular concept. Modulation Sources, such as Six Segment Envelope Generators, Multi-wave LFO's, Noise Generators, Realtime Controllers, can be connected to any of the modulation Destinations which include Z-plane filters, 32 sample layers, tuning, amplitude and many others.
29
Virtual Patchcords are used to connect sources to destinations. Each of the 18 patchcords (per voice) contains an Amount control which determines how much modulation is applied to the selected destination. The modulation amount can be either positive or negative and either adds or subtracts from the initial value. In addition to the 64 modulation sources , 60 modulation destinations and the 18 patchcords, E-Synth also contains 8 Modulation Processors. These Modulation Processors can modify the modulation sources before they are applied to a destination and allow you to create patches and do tricks which would not be otherwise possible. For example, the Flip-Flop processor coupled with one of the Lag Processors can create a realistic Leslie speaker effect which slowly speeds up and slows down when a switch or slider isactivated. The modulation processors tremendously extend the possiblities of E-synth and allow modeling of unique, complex and expressive sounds.

Memory Expansion
The memory of E-Synth is user-expandable and consists of one or two SIMM RAM memory modules. Do not plug RAM SIMMs into ROM sockets! The requirements for the SIMM modules are as follows: 72-pin low profile SIMM (4 MB, 16 MB or 64MB) 8 or 9 bits (Mac or IBM) 70 nS or faster No 8 MB or 32 MB SIMMs are allowed in E-Synth! The charts below show the allowable combinations of SIMMs. The standard E-Synth comes with (1) 4 MB SIMM installed. Either socket can be used when only one SIMM is installed. If the SIMMs are of different size, the smaller SIMM will be divided in half. That is, you will get only half of the memory of the smaller SIMM. You MUST install the larger SIMM in the slot towards the rear of the unit. BEFORE YOU BEGIN, determine the proper locations of the SIMMs you plan to install.

Groundwork
Before you begin, find a clean, well lit place in which to work. UNPLUG THE AC CORD BEFORE WORKING ON E-Synth This procedure requires that you periodically Ground yourself, by touching a grounded object such as a water pipe or a grounded piece of equipment. A good location might be your kitchen counter somewhat near the sink and the grounded water faucet. Grounding yourself prevents the static charge in your body from damaging the sensitive memory chips. When you are asked to Ground yourself, simply reach over and touch the metal on the water faucet. Do not walk across the room or across a rug, as this will defeat the purpose of grounding.
Tip: Use an end cap as a cup to hold the screws.

1. Remove the End Caps: To gain access to the interior of E-Synth, the end caps must first be removed. The two end caps are attached by means of (3) phillips head screws each. Looking directly at the end of the unit, you can see the three screws. The front screw is slightly shorter. 2. When the screws are removed (and set aside in a safe place), pull the end cap straight out from the end.

Remove the Old Memory SIMMs (if necessary)

The memory SIMMs are located near the center towards the keyboard. The front of E-Synth should be facing you. To remove a SIMM: 1. Ground yourself by touching a grounded object. 2. On each end of the SIMM socket, facing toward the rear, there is a little plastic tab. Use a screwdriver or a ball point pen to squeeze the tabs toward the outside of the socket while gently pushing the SIMM toward the rear of the unit. The old SIMM should hinge backward and can now be removed.
Install the New Memory SIMMs

1. Ground yourself by touching a grounded object, then remove the memory SIMM modules from the static protected packaging.

2. Gently set the SIMM deep into the SIMM socket at a 45 angle. One end of the SIMM is notched. This notched end should be on the same side as the RAM 1 and RAM 2 labels. Without forcing the insertion, let the board rest in the socket as deep as it will go. See the diagram on the following page. 3. While applying a slight downward pressure on the top of the SIMM to keep it from popping out of the socket, tilt the SIMM board into a vertical position. You should hear an audible click. Make sure both sides of the plastic tabs have latched.
Reassemble the Unit

1. Lift the control panel out of the slot and slide the rear edge back into the horizontal slot in the rear extrusion. Align the control panel to the outer edges on each side of the unit. 2. Replace the two screws on either side of the display. 3. Replace the three screws on each end of the control panel. The small screw goes in the rear. You may have to adjust the control panel slightly so the screw holes align. 4. Replace the end caps. The lip on the top of the end cap rests on top of the control panel. Reinstall the three screws on end. The short screw goes in front. 5. Replace the display bezel. Set the bezel in the slots with the two pins on the right bottom of the bezel. Slide the bezel to the left, then press down on the right side.

Test It
At this point, the installation is almost finished. Plug in the power cord and turn on power to E-Synth. If the display boots up showing the new memory size, everything is probably OK. If the unit comes up without showing the proper memory size, you may have installed the SIMMs incorrectly.
To Test Memory:
1. Activate the Master module. 2. Select Utilities. 3. Select Tests. A pop up window will appear asking you to enter the Diagnostics Password. Ah, you've got us now. We'll have to reveal the secret password after all. Enter the secret password: 1-3-5-8, then press OK. Another row of soft keys will appear. A Word of Warning: Now that you know how to get into the hidden diagnostics, be careful not to erase your hard disk by running the Automatic or Hard Disk tests! 4. Press the RAM soft key to begin testing memory. The display will warn you that the test destroys any data currently residing in RAM. Don't worry, this test does NOT affect your hard disk data. Press OK to continue. 5. CPU memory will be tested first (cRAM). After four cycles, the sound memory (gRAM) will be tested. Allow this test to run through at least four complete cycles or longer if you want. (This time will vary with the amount of RAM installed.) 6. Press EXIT to abort the test. Any errors will be displayed. If the memory tests bad, you may have incorrectly installed the SIMMs.
Problems?
Disconnect power, open the unit, and try re-seating the SIMMs. Check that both SIMMs are of the same type. If all else fails, return E-Synth to its original configuration and call E-mu Customer Service at (408) 438-1921. Telephone support hours are 8:00-5:00 PST, Monday through Friday.

FACTORY PRESET CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS

The following table lists the real-time controller functions in each factory ROM preset. The real-time controllers adjust important aspects of the sound. Using the real-time controllers, you can synthesize a wide range of timbres without any programming knowledge. These controllers are PERFORMANCE controls, designed to be actuated while playing to add expression and feeling to your music. Often a controller adjusts several parameters at once to achieve a desired effect. On some presets the controls are somewhat standardized. A quick glance at the chart shows that MIDI Controller A is often used to control the Filter Cutoff (Fc). Likewise, MIDI Controller C often controls the envelope times. If you find a set of slider settings that you like better than the factory settings, go to Preset Edit, Global and adjust controllers A-D. Then save the bank back to itself. MIDI Controllers A-D correspond to the realtime control sliders on the E-Synth. The Thumby button can be accessed on an Emulator or E-Synth rack unit by using a footswitch assigned to MIDI controller 66 on your MIDI keyboard. (Controller #66 is the default for the Thumby button.)
