Master Utilities

The Master Utilities menu contains several functions:

Assignable Keys (AsnKy). Allows you to program the three Assignable Keys on the front panel of the Emulator.

Channel Volume (ChVol). Displays a bar graph showing the current volume of all channels.

Reference Tones (Tones...). Generates accurate tones used to troubleshoot your audio system without having to load a bank.

Recalibration (Recal...). Recalibrate the front panel volume control, rotary encoder, and for the E4K and E-Synth Keyboard, the control wheels and pedal input.

Test Access (Tests). Provides access to the Service Center diagnostic routines.

Assignable Keys

Assignable Keys

You can program the Assignable Keys on the front panel to call up almost any screen. This saves you from having to page through multiple menus to find the screen you want to edit.

Simply press an assignable key to call up its assigned location. Press and hold the Set/Shift (decimal point) key while pressing an Assignable Key to access three additional menu locations.

The assignable keys can be programmed from the assignable keys screen in the Master module or directly from any screen in which you are working.

v To Program the Assignable Keys from the Master Menu:

1.Press the Master button. The LED illuminates and the Memory Statistics screen appears.

2.Press the Utilities function key (F1). A second row of function keys appears.

3.Press the AsnKy function key (F1). The following screen appears.

4.Select the desired screen. Use the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC buttons to change the screen associated with each assignable key.

5.Press the Save function key (F6) to store the assignable keys settings and return to the Memory Statistics screen or press Cancel to cancel the operation and return to the Memory Statistics screen.

Channel Volume

Channel Volume

This function calls up a bar graph display showing the number of channels each sound uses and the volume of all voice channels. This channel status display is a useful indicator of your channel usage. Channels become available for reassignment when their output volume falls below a certain level.

Tones

This function generates accurate reference tones which can be used to troubleshoot your audio system without loading a bank or can be used to test each audio output. The following frequencies can be selected: 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 261.60Hz, 440Hz, 444Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 5kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, and 19kHz. Sine, Triangle, Square or Sawtooth waveforms can be selected. The master volume control has no effect on the volume of Tones.

v To Enable the Reference Tone:

1.Press the Master button. The LED illuminates and the Memory Statistics screen appears.

2.Press the Utilities function key (F1). A second row of function keys appears.

3.Press the Tones… function key (F3). The following screen appears and the defined tone plays continuously through the selected outputs.

4.Adjust the frequency, waveform, gain and output submix channel using the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC buttons.

5.Press the Save function key (F6) to accept the changes. Press Cancel to return to the Memory Statistics screen.

Recalibration

_ ALWAYS recalibrate the Pitch and Modulation wheels of the E4K after installing new software or initializing the EEPROM.

Recalibration

This utility recalibrates the front panel volume control, Data Entry Control and, for the E4K, the control wheels. We recommend you recalibrate the controls periodically to adjust them for normal wear and tear or if the controls ever behave strangely.

You can press Cancel at any time during recalibration to skip that particular control and move on to the next.

v To Recalibrate

1.Press the Master button. The LED illuminates and the Memory Statistics screen appears.

2.Press the Utilities function key (F1). A second row of function keys appears.

3.Press the Recal… function key (F4). The following screen appears.

4.Adjust the volume slider to the minimum and maximum positions.

5.Press OK. The display will say, “Saving System” and the following recalibration screen appears.

6.Move the encoder one revolution.

7.Press OK. Again, the display says, “Saving System.”

If you have an E4K or E-Synth Keyboard, continue on with steps 8 though 10. These screens only appear if you have an E4K or E-Synth Keyboard.
