[. . . ] Digital Keyboard Owner's Manual IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (For Noth American Countries) WARNING - when using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when a product is used near children. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or the like. Stepping on or tripping over it can break or short-circuit the wire inside. [. . . ] It is possible to assign completely different sounds to each variation. To set sounds of a style variation, simply select the desired variation. B. Pan/Volume The L2 button brings you to a display page with whose operation you are already familiar: the Style Mixer. In contrast to the temporary settings of the Style Mixer, which are reset to their initial values when the instrument is turned off, the settings made here can be stored in the form of new style programs. If you have questions on how to operate the Mixer with Style Edit, please refer to the section "Style Mixer". C. Effect The R2 button opens another display page familiar to you: the effect assignments of the Style Mixer. If you have questions on how to use the effect assignments with Style Edit, please refer to the section "Style Effect Mixer". D. Program On the display page "Program", which you call up using the R1 button, you can input program change commands for each of the 6 tracks of the accompaniment. On one hand, a program change command allows you to define the sound for the respective 70 Conductor (Part 2) 17 accompaniment track. On the other hand, the command switches to the corresponding number when you want to transfer the accompaniment to an external MIDI tone generator. This may be a MIDI expander, such as the GMega, or a synthesizer; you can also transfer the song in which you are using the accompaniment to an external sequencer (a hardware sequencer, such as the Q-80, or a software sequencer running on a personal computer), in order to record the accompaniment. Use the F (function) buttons to select the desired track for the style. Above the tracks you will find information about the program set for the selected track. Note that instruments with chromatic assignment (Bass and ACC 1 through 4) have a program change range of 199 steps (in the case of the Drums track you can switch between 9 drum kits). The General MIDI Standard (GM) defines 128 program switches and 1 drum kit, unless it has been expanded by a manufacturer-specific addition. In order to maintain compatibility for future export of the style, you should make sure to select instruments only in the program range from 001 and 128 and to use only the first drum kit (001). Of course, if compatibility is not required you can freely select the sounds best suited to your accompaniment tracks from the entire set of 200 programs. The remaining indications in the display provide information about the current style. 71 17 Conductor (Part 2) E. Write (F1) The store command (F1) allows you to reach a submenu in which you can determine details concerning the memory location and name of the new Conductor style. Use the dial or the Selector buttons to select a free memory location or one whose data are no longer required. If you move the mark to the right using the R2 button, you can change the first letter of the style name using the dial. To input a complete name you move through the line using the buttons L2 and R2. [. . . ] The SMF format ensures systemindependent compatibility of the sequence. A prerequisite for compatibility with the instrument sounds of other GM devices is the use of the first sound bank and of the drum set Standard 1. Q-80 The Q-80 format allows you to load songs of the hardware sequencer KAWAI Q-80 into the sequencer of the Z1000. All To save or load all data that can be stored in the Z1000 please use the All function by pressing the R1 button. 121 24 System updates A. [. . . ]
